Still can’t get over NOT CALLING A TIMEOUT when you have the ball with a chance to win the game. Neptune has done the same thing before and it never works because they dont run plays. They just give it to moore or dixon and tell them to play street ball. Infuriating

I am an avid Big East fan and love the conference. But i’m just having a hard time understanding how UConn, Marquette, and Creightons success has anything to do with the other 3 teams who were “snubbed”. The teams that missed the cut were not on the same level as the other 3.

I love this hire.
Bringing in someone with NBA experience to help with the X’s and O’s of offense is going to do wonders.
They looked like chickens with their heads cut off trying to scheme up offensive sets last year, hopefully Young helps.
Sources: Villanova basketball is hiring longtime NBA assistant Jamie Young as an assistant coach. Young comes to Villanova after a year a Le Moyne. He spent 23 years in the NBA, including 20 in various roles with the Boston Celtics and two seasons as a 76ers assistant.

I get this but when you’re 11-9 with a bunch of bad losses with an almost $3 million roster, fans, including myself, get impatient. A $3 million roster isn’t supposed to endure a transition year. Their supposed to be a bonafide tournament team
I totally get why Nova Nation is calling for Kyle’s head.
I mean, look what Jay Wright did year 2.
(checks notes)
Wait, that can’t be right. Wikipedia thinks Jay went 15-16 year 2 and didn’t make the NCAA tournament until year 4.
Maybe, just maybe, Nova Nation should chill.

I’m not sure there is such thing as a “good loss” but if there is, Nova losing to this wagon of a UConn team by 1 point should fall under that category.
Not to mention if it wasn’t for those 2 offensive fouls on Justin Moore there might be a different result in that game.
