This will be the first game in years that I will deliberately avoid watching live. I will record it and if it turns out not to be the slaughter I fear I will watch it later tonight. I know this is probably a cowardly thing to do but I just can't stand watching Nova humiliate us. I really think that if Nova comes out angry we could commit 30 turnovers and lose by 40+ points. How do we compete in this game? Try to score in the paint and hopefully get Nova forwards in would trouble? Hit 15 of 21 threes (like Butler) and hope Nova commits 17 turnovers like they did against St. John's? Pray their team bus gets in an accident on I-95 like ours did last year and Brunson, Bridges and DiVincenzo decide to finish the trip on foot? I do it more often then I'd like.

I would never deliberately avoid watching a game, although the priority of the game over other options has certainly changed the last couple of years. But even with a game like tonight, I will watch to look for individual/team improvements in important areas as well as coaching improvements.

If you have a job and live in the West, the conference and the networks have made it very easy to not watch these early games live.

Lazy passes guards need to attack.

A bit of a tough start. We've forced a couple of turnovers but Villanova is doing a good job of keeping us from doing anything on offense. With the pressure we are getting down to 3-4 seconds with no real plan to score.

Jessie was open but Mulmore fails to give him the ball as he cuts to the basket. Why is Pickett starting bad call coach. The game is too fast for the fresh freshman. He needs to sit.

2nd foul on Mulmore at 15 minutes mark... second game in a row for him with foul trouble in first half... here comes the bench! Got to show up!

The failure to close that defensive possession out is frustrating. Villanova is such a great example of team basketball.

The defense and turnovers are frustrating, but this team just does not have shooters. Not having a single player with a truly reliable shot (outside Govan and Derrickson) makes it so hard to do so many things right.

Mulmore can't get into foul trouble; that's the only thing getting Dickerson on the court.
