Sweet 16. VILLANOVA vs BAYLOR

[Xuperman]

Love the optimism, but man are things going to have to break Nova's way. But, that is why we play the game!! Go Cats!!!

Chap, what exactly is the inside word on Antoine? His ability to go full bore physically is going to be a must in this one, and you will probably need him to neutralize one of their big 3 guards to keep this one close. What about where he is from a mental/confidence aspect? Do you guys get the feel Coach Wright trusts him to play starter minutes considering what be has gone thru?

Xup... more and more confidence in him. Starter minutes, but Arch will start. He is absolutely key. starting to show more and more each game. Supposedly healthy. Hoping he continues to break out.

Swider is going to hit some big shots.

Looks like early on the gameplan is for Nova to take it to the paint.

Impressive half by Nova up 7.

Yes. Jay making Baylor play to his tune. One half down. One to go.

[kayako]

Morons will say Baylor's just missing shots, but that's the best 3 point defense I've seen Nova play in years.

[Novachap]

have to weather the inevitable run that is coming. Playing great D. Although Slater is not a threat on offense, he has made a difference on D.

Jay. Wright.

So good.

[Novachap]

Jay. Wright.

So good.

Did you see Nova switch defenses mid possession that one time? The match up zone is giving Baylor trouble. Hope it continues!
