1:33 to go up 16......classless move. Even if he wants to get them recognized....no class...milk the clock and hit a three with the starters just after that.

Another BIg Ten team made to look very ordinary. It's a great conference, but teams aren't impossible to beat.

He just said in an interview he put them back in because he was afraid of Iowa.

I've always said " When you have a team down you step on their neck". A lot of really good teams have done it to us over the
years and really want to see some of that occur in our OOC games next November.
One other thing. I hope and pray that some day we would be able to play defense the way Nova is playing today.

That's where you are wrong. Did you even listen to his post interview? Iowa just knocked down a bunch of 3's and got the deficit under 20. He only put his starters back in for one possession to right the ship. There's no need to denigrate Wright. Any coach would have done the same thing in that situation, because we're talking about the NCAA tourney. Now, if he had done that in the regular season, then yes, I would agree with you. But not today.

You mean the Iowa pushovers that lost their mojo about 7 games ago...not the same team we played and played with no confidence and very lackadaisical both offensively and defensively.

I'd do it too. You keep it over 20 or I'm changing my mind about keeping you in.

This is the NCAAs. I'm not emptying the bench and risking the possibility of losing unless I know there's ZERO shot at a comeback.

That might be the best defense you will ever see in a game period. Better chance that Rutgers playing half as well on defense as Villanova did today. Coach P supposedly coaches defense so we will see.

Ok so now you've asked me if I even listened to the interview. Answer:yes. Now you answer honestly, did you even watch the game? Can you name the last three that Iowa hit before the move? btw he said "they could hit a bunch of threes", not they "just knocked down a bunch of threes" again I will ask you tell me when they hit the threes? Did you watch the game?

Unreal how you call me out without the slightest clue of what was happening other than you misheard an interview.

Btw Iowa hit 1 three pointer in the final 10 minutes going 1-7 over that span.....so before you come in here and pretend you know what you are talking about, at least check the box score next time.....oh and btw for the half Iowa was 2-12 from 3-pt range.,.."they just knocked down a bunch of threes" Maybe he meant trees....

Thanks for the laugh buddy.

Yes, I did watch most of the game. I stand by my comments. And I'm not calling you out PAL. You're the OP. I just disagree with your premise BUDDY OL' PAL OF MINE.

Thanks for the caps, and proving you basically had no clue, but stand by what you said, so where were all those threes you were talking about? Only in your clueless mind.

But yes you did call me out...you asked if i even listened to the interview...again do you have a clue what was going on in the game...no you don't. I'll answer it this time...stand by what you want, you called it out i answered 2-12 Not dropping a bunch a threes

More like a coach making an excuse for a classless move.

You know you've been contributing to this board a little over a year. I don't know you, but if you have your panties in a wad over this then you are too thin skinned to post here. Ultimately, who really gives a **** right? You think it was a classless move and I explained why it wasn't. For you however, to say "I have no clue" just shows what a rancorous human being you are. I not only played the game, I coached it. So if I don't have a clue then what does that make you?

Now enough with this nonsense already.

Wright has been under a lot of pressure because of early Villanova departures in the NCAA Tournament.He was taking no chances with this game.As to the game another poor performance by a BIG team who seem to lack the quickness to match up against quicker opponents with 3 point shooters.

You seemed to have watched a game stated that a team had "just dropped a bunch of threes", it never happened, i could care less if you played and coached, or even owned a team. I am still waiting for one answer, why did you say they had dropped a bunch of threes as the justification for the move...when it never happened?

My panties arent in a wad, I am happy to continue discussing where you came up with all those threes?...i get it you heard an interview....that is the answer and that is it, I am done as well
