very balanced scoring and very high shooting percentage obviously

i get what Jay is trying to do, but I'm not a fan of it. We don't have the height up top or on the back line wings to make it effective, and all that results is wide open threes. Maybe it is a stop-gap like Coach K used last year, who by the way didn't touch zone the entire NCAA after before forced into it earlier in the season when his man defense was exposed. I understand the need to protect Ochefu of course....but at some point Reynolds needs to be a steady back up.

To our very own PlanoCat for receiving the Goodwill Ambassador Award at the Alumni Volunteer Conference today. The award is presented to a member of the Alumni Recruiting Network in recognition of significant achievement in the recruitment of future Villanova students.

Great seeing you again. Very well deserved.

I am assuming this is Monmouth in NJ ??

Does anyone know anything about them? Did UCLA get surprised? Is Monmouth any good......

This Saturday, Nov 14th there is a VUSPORTS tailgate from 12:30 until just before the 3:30 kickoff.

I don't know how many SoPers have been following this story, but it's absolutely insane. She's already taken down one Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice, has her sights set on another, and is currently working as the Attorney General despite having her law license suspended.

last year the league went on a tear out of the gate ... this year, Marquette suffered the league's first loss on opening night (83-80 to Belmont). Interestingly, Haanif Cheatham got the start over Sandy Cohen but the Marquette starters shot 2-18 from beyond the arc. Traci Carter had 5 dimes off the pine for Marquette.

St. John's beat Wagner 66-57 - opened it up in the second half.Federico Mussini and Durand Johnson were the only double-figure scorers for Johnnies. Johnson 2-10 from floor.

Seton Hall was an 84-67 winner over Dartmouth. Whitehead with 18, Carrington with 13, Gordon off the bench with 14 - Desi Rodriquez had 13 and Delgado pulled 9 boards.

The other game last night in BE play was X beating Miami (OH) 81-72 ... giving up 40 points in the first half at home - does that indicate another year where they score the ball like crazy but struggle to defend? Jalen Reynolds with 16 points, 15 rebounds and 4 steals. Macura came off the bench while Frosh, Rdmond Sumner dropped in 19 in a starting role - maybe we keep an eye on his development. 6-5 guard out of the motor city.

I was interested is seeing both the kids and the team since I have been having
problems with Rivals and Nova Nation.

On O it seems that in the first half we seemed to play the younger big kids more.
We ran some beautiful screen and rolls and screen and pops. Against their zone in the second half,
we had one or two ball reversals, but not enough. We shot many quick shots with only a single pass.

On D, everything we have thought about came true. We try to slow the possessions down with
the 3/4 court trap while we attacked for steals in the half court trap. Our zone was rather flat, and they
didn't attack it too well. But they were horrendous with going horizontal guard to guard passes against
a zone. I mentioned this 15 years ago.

I know who we played and how we played and the season is long. But for this my first look, I like Reynolds and #25. I can't remember # 25's name because I am having severe neurological problems.

Getting it done in 1st half leading all scorers

I don't get it. What's the continuing fascination with Gonzaga?

No tips allowed!

Thanks, djrun!

Is he officially redshirted or is there still a possibility he plays this year?

... since our last game. Off seasons are always long but this one just seemed to last forever. Probably because of how the last game went. But now we get to start again!

22-9 ... 28-3 ... overrated ... underrated ... sweet 16 or bust ... ennis is a big loss, no he stinks ... we aren't athletic enough, tall enough, strong enough ... the big east is a mid major ... its all just talk and I just don't care anymore.

The Cats are back on the court and that makes today a great day! This team is going to very fun to watch.

Can't wait for this new journey. Enjoy the hell out of it.

Lets Go Nova! Beat FDU!

I cannot find a line for tonight's game?? Any reason why?? Won a lot of money on Nova last year...
