I have extremely high confidence in Nova in any other round than the 2nd, especially has a higher seed. Doesn't help that 9 out of 10 times we seem to get an under seeded team, a really hot team, or a horrible match-up. Plus when we crash out we never seem to play anything close to our best game, sick of these B- type games in the 2nd round.

I just didn't like Nova's sets in the last few minutes. Driving 1 on 3 or 4 and hoping for a foul call if tough. Jenkins and Bridges killed them today.

It's not the last few minutes. Villanova has been an isolation-heavy offense the entire season. It showed today with only 5 assist against a team that packed the paint.

Sorry, I can't agree here. It's not like Wisconsin got lucky by hitting a few tough shots they normally don't make. Their starting 5 is just, uh, better than Nova's. If we had won, it would've been a stolen win with Koenig and Happ in foul trouble.

I can't agree with you, and where did I say Wisconsin got lucky??? They shot and played better today. No way is Wisconsin's starting 5 isn't better than Nova's, far from it, although they played better today. Last time I checked foul trouble was part of the game, just like shots not falling are.
