Villanova will win this game. I took notice of the nova team against Iowa, then Miami. This team plays defense like their lives depend on it. In back to back games, they held the best 2 players from the big 12 to four points and nine points. That is not a typo. Ellis had 4, Buddy had 9. Are you sure they cant slow Brice Johnson?
I am not counting on Nova to shoot 60% against those long arms of UNC, but this is a bad match up, defensively for a team that likes to play big. Brice Johnson going to check Jenkins? Good luck string bean. I expect Nova to get beat on the boards, because they haven t been a great rebounding team all year and UNC is amazing on the glass. The ball pressure will bother Paige tonight, watch. This is not some bull shit, slap the floor and scream, look at me team. These dudes are in your face from jump. They really remind me of the spurs or warriors who make the extra pass after the extra pass. Chemistry on this team is unreal. They do not care who scores, who gets the glory.
Coaching about even. Slight in game nod to Wright, imo. The one thing that keeps me from making this a large play, which I observed last year in the title game, is I am betting against the establishment, and that s dangerous. UNC is basketball royalty and teams like this tend to get the calls. Duke mugged the Badgers last year and they let them get away with it. Bo Ryan said so after the game, not in a crying way but rather in a " I cant believe they let these guys molest us on defense the whole night, did you see that shit?" way. Refs didnt matter in the Oklahoma game. They may tonight. No excuses, not hedging my bets, but must be at least mentioned.
If you bet against Villanova, after the scorched earth campaign these guys have declared, man good luck. They have the better defense, an even offense, and they just look crazed on defense. They will hoist the trophy tonight and I ll be there and I cant wait for 8. Peace
