Haven't been watching, but the kids are almost down for the night. Nova's been up big all game, but seems like it might be a great finish.
They’re missing their top 2 players who got I hurt early in the year. With them but they’re probably the best team in the nation.
Incredible job by Wright this year. Can’t believe this team is going to get to a Final Four.
Feel awful for Justin Moore.
I mean, Villanova played really good defense. But if Houston - who had some WIDE OPEN looks - even shot just horribly instead of unconscionably atrocious, they win this game. If they just go 4-20 (20%), they likely win. They went 1-20 and lost. I don't know if this bodes well for Villanova moving forward, because they do play great D and they play really tough, hard-nosed basketball. But also, they can't expect to watch opponents shoot this poorly again.
But I picked them to go to the National Championship game so I gotta keep riding them I guess. Hope that injured player is ok, but I'm not optimistic.

I've always loved the fact that Villanova is his dream job and he has never wanted to go anywhere else.
Villanova had only 15 baskets. Just one every 2:45 or so.
They may free throw their way to a championship. Such an under rated aspect of the tournament. They remind me a lot of the 2014 UConn team. Better during the regular year but some similarities in how they win.
It was an ugly game but how about Villanova? There is no reason that they should be an epicenter of college basketball.
We miss the better story in sports sometimes. Coach K, Gonzaga, the nonstop blathering about the football schools.
Meanwhile, a small enrollment school has been under the radar excellent for fifty years. Even with two recent championships. Yeah, some lean years in the 90s, but that is now final fours in 5 of the last 6 decades.

Reports seem to say he did. Have never been able to understand why college kids sometimes get this old man-type injury.
A guy I was playing softball with tore his one game. He had no clue what had happened, thought the ball had hit him (the ball was 100 feet away from him).
His development from last season to this one has been impressive. I can't wait to watch him next season, which will probably be his last in Fayetteville.
Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I think he needs to develop more skills.
