St. Joe's has a pretty athletic team. they shot the lights out from 3 tonight - I'm guessing they don't go 14-27 from 3 most nights! But they were definitely more athletic than Nova, by a lot. Their zone really messed up Nova. Looked like they were playing something like a 3-2, trying to deny the 3 and dare villanova to try to play through the post. It worked well. and Neptune did not seem to have any good strategic answer. Big East or no Big East, there are few things more fun than watching Nova lose at the John E Murderer Pavilion. Well done Hawks!!!

Really unfortunate timing to have had a bug go through the team over the last couple of weeks. I always wish we did more "playing for corners" when the attack isn't creating enough opportunities...but of course that's a lot easier said than done, and it can make you predictable. Was home sick and could not go to the game. Ref missed badly on the late foul in the box from the TV view. However VAR is only authorized to check penalties called; not penalties missed.

The guys picked a bad time of year to stop scoring.
Can’t win when you don’t score.
Sad for the kids.

Hoyas have been very careless with aimless balls to nowhere.
They need to get back to their possession game to create quality chances.

Stanford caught the Hoyas on game 2 of a Western swing with players learning new roles, especially in the back 4.
The punished every mistake.
We have grown into what we are now.

Unless Ed Cooley can channel his inner Eddie Feigner, this season appears to be a lost cause.

Being a west coast guy, I do not think you should overlook UCLA....Their record is sporadic this year with unexpected results here and there, but they just beat Stanfurd 3-1....I am not overly worried about them, but what I read here is an east coast bias on our trip to the College Cup...Go Hoyas. I discount no one. Having “enjoyed” the company of our Deliverance extra friends back in 2021, that just popped into my head.

Not sure what qualifies Notre Dame and UNC from being ahead of us beyond being ACC schools, but whatever. We've already beaten Pitt and JMU this season, so at least there shouldn't be any surprises there, though of course each game is different. And a 2021 redux with the hillbillies looms for the Elite 8.

On a positive note, this frees up a lot of time between now and March when I might otherwise be locked in on games.

Scoreless at the half.
Hoyas with much the better of the play but have not converted.
