Official Wake Forest vs. Villanova Game Thread - 1:30 ET ESPN2

[TownieDeac]

That's a thing? Stats these days.

idk if it's formally captured anywhere but they said it like 500 times in the tournament last year

 

[Pilchard]

Ken Pom predicts a 83-70 Nova win. BTW, WF is now shooting 47.5% from 3 which is #12 in the country. Villanova plays strong 3 point defense holding teams to 24.5% from 3 this year.

Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

VIBES!

GAME OVER

 

[CharlotteDeac1]

I'm kind of expecting a great game from Childress. Not sure why, probably because he's a great ball handler and nova has great guards. We'll need someone who's smart with the ball and quick to beat these guys. Hoping for a lot of dishes to Collins today.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if we shoot 62% from 3, 60% from the field, and 80% from the FT line, we will win.

I also didn't realize that we salvaged what, a 35% FG percentage in the first half to end up at 60% yesterday? Collins just completely took over.

Also, only 5 turnovers from our starting 5 is a great sign.

I'm looking at my autographed picture of Skip and thinking, "my defense is my offense."

Or was it "my offense is my defense?" Can't remember.

It's solidly -12.5/-13. It's a very fair line.

They want to get us into a running, three point shooting contest. I would be surprised if they play us far out on the court. I hope they do. It will give JC a lot of room to operate.

Wake rolls 77-72

I am holding out on going to lunch, so I can do so and watch part of the game. Damn I am getting hungry though!

Does this game actually start at 1:30, or is there an earlier game that could delay it?

Looking forward to the thread after we win today:

It has to be asked...

First game of the day.

Go ahead, ask it.

Thank God. I'm holding out on going to bed, and I'm about 5 hrs. past due.

We are going to have to play much better perimeter defense, or Villanova is going to kill us with dribble penetration. Our bigs are very foul prone when they have to switch to help side.

I'm just about as optimistic as most about our offense after yesterday's performance, but to see UTEP slice and dice our defense makes me think Nova wins by 15+

I'm not sure what limb you're on, but I'll climb out there with you.

I'm confident it can hold all of us.
