Gut check road Big East win.
Great efforts from Summers, Wright, Mescheriakov, and the bench. The game was won, however, on the defensive end.

Big win for these guys. It was ugly... ok it was fugly ... but a win is a win especially when it's on the road, over Nova, over a ranked team, and it keeps hope alive.

YES!!!! And as ESPN was closing the broadcast, one thing I noticed. They replayed two plays..
One at the end of the half, and one towards the end of the game. Who had the ball in their hands? Wright!!! Keep it like that!

These two teams play some ugly basketball against one another.

We sure did! Each time they showed the FG% that 32-36% looked all too familiar. Been too long since we've held a team so a % like that. If it wasn't for that, we lose by 15

I'm not sure how you win against a good team on the road with 23 turnovers and an almost total inability to score in the last 7 minutes, but I don't care. Wooooo!!!!!

I hate teams that make me alcoholic. ;D It wasn't my fault! Liquors drunkened me! Way to go Hoyas! Lousy TOs, obviously, but gutsy road win. This team is not done playing this year yet. |

Oh my God, was that ugly. Poor execution, poor coaching from both sides. Our guys showed heart, though, and I'm very happy for them that they finally got a win.
I haven't seen villanova much this season, but let's just say I won't be picking them to go very far in my bracket. Sheesh.

I agree--much better defensive effort than we've seen lately. No way we have that many turnovers and give up free throws and still win without the defense.

Meanwhile over at the Villanova board....
"And what a way to end the game -- can't even foul GT in 3.5 seconds? Nice diagramming in the timeout, Jay! You know why we couldn't get to Wright? Because both our point guards were on the bench. There was no speed. Who would have thought GT would have given the ball to its point guard there?"

Finally a break. I will be happy to play ugly as long as Wright, Summers and the others play with intensity. They earned this one and good to see JT III making such wise use of TOs down the stretch.
