Moser better take the best job available (IU?). Without Krutwig, no amount of prayers will get him back to a Sweet 16 at Loyola.

Loyola was a super quick team. But, playing a good zone reduced that strength. Do I need to say more?
I like switching Ds too. If they call a play out of a timeout and you change the D then it can cause turnovers or confusion. Problem is when we are constantly so young it’s hard to get them to play one D well, let alone 2 or 3.

I have always believed in the philosophy of multiple defenses.

I like a team that plays solid man to man as a base, but can zone from time to time.

I really started getting into basketball during the Pitino years and he was really good at throwing different stuff at people based on matchups. He pressed a lot and was known for that, but he could also zone.

Very true. Veteran teams have time to learn more than one defense.

Cal has to spend all of his time for defense on teaching his kids how to play man to man defense. Then he has to start all over again the next season.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I was getting tired of hearing about her story after the first 50 times.
Nah I understand it gets old, just wanted the old lady to get a chance to see a title at her little ole school. Probably not many years left.

Man, don't the stands know that's Mark Vital. He chews rocks, bends steal with his hands, and punches holes through concrete walls. Gonna take a hell of a lot more than that to hurt and keep that dude down. He's tough af.

If I were Drew the guy that just missed the layup would be on the bench for a long time.

Nova got some players now. Pretty impressive to lose your two captains and have a lead over the 2nd best team all year long.

Lots of very good, tough defense being played in this game. Villanova seems to have a height advantage that is causing Baylor problems.

He’s my favorite Coach
Doesn’t act like a idiot on sideline or make up voices or ask questions back to media during interviews.
Was able to set in floor seats and watch his team in Yum center after Uk got knocked out.
Never seen a better Coached team - his kids talked on defense and ran there offense as well as any I have seen.
Baylor is way better and I expect them to win but Nova won’t beat themselves
