Villanova is playing at a really high level right now.
How good has Jenkins been? Wow! He's 18-27 from the floor in the tournament.
Villanova was hustling all over the floor last night. Diving for loose balls, tipping rebounds, jumping into the stands. The whole team, not just one guy.

Diving for loose balls, tipping rebounds, jumping into the stands. The whole team, not just one guy. Jay Wright and Staff have their players play basketball the "Nova Way."When he gets talented kids who fully buy into that [like the Foye, Ray, Lowry Group] ,NOVA accomplishes very good things.Their defense is unreal.No one battles on the boards harder---even without alot of size.And they are unselfish offensively.All their guys [except the two bigs] can create their own shot. Game vs. Kansas tomorrow should be an amazing contest. |

Jay Wright was strong on the Big East Conference in the post game presser...his success should show other coaches in our conference that they can win BIG in the Big East...even though the grass may seem greener elsewhere, guys like Wright, Mack, Cooley and Wojo stick out as guys who can accomplish their goals exactly where they currently sit...

But I have to say, I thought we were going to see a little more of the way Nova plays under Cooley in terms of all out effort. |

I have not seen a team play a better game than Nova did last night all year.
Like 9 guys played not just great but spectacular.
Unusual because oft time Wright's teams burp and fart this time of year.
Yeah and howsabout the kid Jenkins...wow now that's a shooter Coach no airballs, no side of the backboard and no top of the backboard

..and was recruited as a favor..
5thirty - you don't think we play hard? Got to say I disagree. Not sure how many threes Kansas chucked up last night but MD had a huge size advantage and it was under double digits with 10 minutes left...

Jenkins and Hart were buddies.Getting one helped get the other.
Is that what you mean Walk?

Depth has and that can lead to lack of energy at times. Nova has depth. |

Now that he killed Miami last night, I don't feel as bad how he destroyed PC with his shooting.
Nova has looked really good since the second half of their first Big East Tournament game. They ran into a focused and motivated SHU and since that they've been all about peaking in the NCAA tournament.
In the post game on-court interview Ryan Arch wasn't looking past their next opponent - KANSAS...

And they will have their hands full vs. Kansas unless this incredible shooting % continues...
Want nothing more right now than to have Nova win the National Championship but Miami is no Kansas.
IF they go cold from outside then Nova reverts back to ordinariness - hoping it does not happen, just saying.
So far so good - bring on Kansas and tip it off.

I think not having Ochefu at full strength really hurts against Kansas. |

71 - never answered this on Jenkins. He was recruited b/c they wanted Britt although the Hart connection obviously helped.
