Nova/Shaggy Zags

[Jaker]

now these teams have some guards.

Can't watch Villanova without being reminded that Brunson was essentially Temple-bound until his dad got arrested. Ugh.

 

[boog204]

'Nova is just a really enjoyable team to watch...

 

[Jaker]

i like nova

 

[Bryan Lord]

Now those teams have some coaches

 

[Jaker]

Now those teams have some coaches

Yeah, like 50 years of cummulative coaching and only one national title.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Perhaps, but what they really have is multiple guys who stick the shot when they are open. Particularly 3s.

Why don't we have those?

Don't we all

Quality UCONN-Cuse pre-game analysis by Greenberg...

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Why don't we have those?

That’s what I want to know. I go through these recruiting threads and read comments about how explosive this athlete is, how quick that guy is, how this other guy has a great motor, and I rarely see anything about shooting. You need five shooters on the floor in the sense that they can hit “their” shot. Whether that’s a turnaround baseline j, a jumper from the elbow or a deep three, hit “your” shot when you are open.

And passing for that matter.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the breakdown coach!

Two national championships*

Greenberg is a bum

 

[WrenchFan69]

Two national championships*

They only have one combined, 2016.

 

[sammydabiz]

They only have one combined, 2016.

Maybe I'm not understanding the context, but did 1985 not happen?

Neither were a coach of that team

Gotcha

Mikael Freaking Bridges

 

[nomar]

Bridges looks decent.

 

[superjohn]

Mikal Bridges just shat on the whole Zags team. Jay Wright is the man.

 

[jibsey]

Why don't we have those?

We don’t recruit guys that can make shots, we recruit high flying athletes. Shooting is almost an afterthought. I mean every Div2 school we play has at least 1 and usually more knockdown shooters. That’s their game, but not ours.

We aren't really recruiting either right now.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Villanova is good. That is pretty much the story. When I watch NBA games you notice that guys simply make most open looks. So does Nova. UConn could get a 4 on zero break, Miss the layup and two tip ins before the defense recovers and fouls us on our fourth completely undefended attempt...which we’d miss.
