I forgot how much I despise Villanova (along with the rest of the Big East). Really getting into this game. Baylor by 6 with 7 minutes to go

Nova has nothing to be ashamed of, they played as well a 1st half as you could. Baylor was kinda fortunate to have turned them over nonstop in the 2nd half.

I still can't figure out how a team without a lot of athletes and has plus horses like Brandon Slater and Bryan Antoine (specifically), can't get minutes....the Baylor guards were blowing by Nova most of the 2nd half for layups. If you don't have a shot blocker, you gotta buckle down before the guards get going.

The only other game where Nova looked this flustered, was the St John's game, where the Johnnies pressed and hounded them.

Would seem counterproductive for a RU fan to root for Nova as they often fight over the same recruits.

Villanova still is the top team in the Northeast based on recruiting and NCAA / Big East success..

Liked how Baylor kept playing with a small lead with 4 min left.
They were the better team. Better athletes, better shooters, better all around and the #1 seed. I didn’t watch but the game was not the same at all. Baylor had a 9 Pt lead with 2 minutes left and we had a 2 Pt lead. That’s when we slowed it down. Prior to that we missed a dunk and a wide open 3 pointer. I wouldn’t consider missing shots taking the air out. Bad comparison.
