23rd ranked irish vs #1 ranked villanova game thread

Nova is #1 because they are undefeated , but realistically they don't have that presence in the middle , 6'11" Ochefu from last season and the point guard Arcidiacono. . Nova will be good ,but how good ?
 
It was classic rope-a-dope. Villanova traded shots until crunch time then just tightened it up with 5 minutes left to take the win.
Nah. VJ hits a couple more shots and ND wins. He's not playing well. Gotta step up.
 
Villanova is fine at point guard. Brunson tweaked his ancle today but has plenty of ability. Phil Booth has been out with injury but it is supposed to be only tendonitis in his knee. He should be okay with some rest.

You are right about the center position. Omari Spellman is a 6'10" top recruit but was declared ineligible until next year. I think that killed any dreams of a repeat. Paschall is going to have to play big to help fill in for the loss of Chef.
