Saw someone mention this, but IMO it has helped our defense early. Our 3/4 press was less about creating turn overs and more about using up the shot clock. With 5 less seconds teams have less time to get into their offense. They are rushing their shots and do not have the time for that 1 extra pass to get a better shot.

Make no doubt about it, Arch is the heart and soul of this team. He leads by example. I am no longer worried about the 1st or 2nd weekend in March. If you watch the last couple of games closely, you can see it in his body language, attitude, facial expressions and eyes. Toss in the added dimension that this is his last hurrah and it is a lock that he is not going to let this team lose those games. He will find a way to get it done. Close behind him in this vein is Hart.

happy trails, Hans

Take it any way you can get it! shot terribly and played great D

ONE...BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM EFFORT THIS YEAR...GREAT ON BALL DEFENSE , CLOSE OUT S WERE INCREDIBLE , PRECISION SWITCHES,....MANIACAL...SHREDDING DEFENSIVE EFFORT...CONTESTED EVERY SHOT VERY HARD,,,,,BATTLED DEFENSIVELY......HELPED EACH OTHER.......ONE OF BEST DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCES IN THE PAST THIRTY YEARS........YES...THATS THIRTY..........TWO...RYAN ARCH WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE POINT GUARDS IN MODERN NOVA HISTORY.....WE PLAY BEST WHEN ARCH HAS THE BALL....THAT KID DOES A TON OF STUFF...TO HELP US WIN GAMES......STUFF THAT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE BOXSCORE......STUFF THAT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON A GAME TAPE, YOU APPRECIATE ALL THE BIG PLAYS HE MAKES....AND THE ABSENCE OF BONE HEADED PLAYS..........THREE.....DANNY OCHEFU HAS MY UTMOST RESPECT....HE WAS OBVIOUSLY PLAYIN HURT.......NOVA INTERIOR PLAYERS ARE ALLOWED TO STEP OUT FOUTEEN FEET AND NAIL JUMPERS FROM ANY ANGLE.....THATS RIGHT...BIG O.......WITH THE PRETTY MID RANGE JUMPERS......JUST BECAUSE WE PLAY ONE IN....DORS NOT MEAN THAT INTERIOR PLAYER CANT STEP OUT TO SCORE........DANNY O.....GREAT DISRUPTIVE DEFENSIVE EFFORT IN THIS GAME...........FOUR...SAW BENBRY FROM ST JOES SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR,,HE IS AN OUTSTANDING PLAYER, AND MAY GET DRAFTED HIGHER, BUT JOSH HART IS THE BETTER COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYER IN MY BOOKS,,,,,AND DESERVES BIG FIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR.....PLUS..WE PLASTERED ST JOES........FIVE...

,

Down they go to Wisconsin.

... anyone notice Reynolds jawing at Bridges pretty intensely at the end of the game...I forget what play preceded it but Jay immediately pulled both of them out of the game...

Is it just me or is Kevin Harlan absolutely miserable to listen to?

I thought Tim Brando was bad but Harlan makes him look pretty good.

Here is my report after observing Walker, Littles and Anderson last night:
https://villanova.n.rivals.com/news/more-prospects-at-kobe-classic

1 OK
2.UNC
3 Kansas
4. Nova
5. Maryland

What do you think?

Another notch higher for the Cats tomorrow?

Arch and Hart combine to shoot 0-10 from 3. Booth and Brunson combine to shot 0-7 from the field and 2-5 from the ft line (all Brunson's shots). As a team we shot 3-18 from 3, score 18 total fgs, have 10 assists and 10 TOs. We get outscored at the 3 point line 21-9. Our bench gets outscored 12-7. How did we win? Great team defense and great team rebounding. We out rebounded them by 7 got 3 more offensive rebounds blocked 6 shots and out scored them at the ft line by 7. On the road against a program Jay has struggled the most with in the BE, those initial numbers would have undoubtedly led to a loss 9 out of 10 times. We also won the TO battle as Gtown had 12 to our 10.

That pivot and then up and under with the left hand was a thing of beauty. Love how he's added to his offensive game in the last couple. Reminded me of the way Shane schooled Notre Dame and Duke in his senior year with great post fundamentals.

With the emphasis on calling hand checks every time, a guy in the post with a big butt is hard to defend.

His incredible talent will be missed by many.

I'm as happy as the next guy that we gutted this one out some way,helped by Gtown unable to throw it in the Potomac.....but staff has to be able to come up with some plays to actually score. we play Monmouth in rd 1 of NCAA and score 1 bucket in last 8 minutes and we won't have to worry about first weekend.
I don't know why we can't hit a 3 but Josh hasn't made one in like 3 games,BUT,he has been a beast attacking the rim....so have him do that!. Arch not hitting either,so work to get him that 15 footer that he's so good at.
Brunson/Booth not hitting 3 either,but Booth can hit the short jumper and have Brunson drive and dish for an easy bucket....I don't care if we never shoot another 3 ,we can score inside the line easy enough.

can anyone get the construction cam for the west end zone project to work? Or have a recent picture or the progress? Tks Tom
