The players may have come up short... but to me the coaches were much the reason why they came up short. How many times have we seen double digit leads turn into no lead at all? Where the team looks so much better and then gets sloppy and almost losses a game(or does lose one). The last one was against Providence in the BE tournament. You would think a wise coach would learn and have his team focused and playing smart. Call a TO when Tre messed up the first time... not wait until his team makes so many mistakes that they are playing form behind.
Honestly... Mack's comments at halftime weren't encouraging that this staff was concerned at all ... Mack acted like his team was fine... only the fouls were an issue... but clearly that was not the case.. No sense of focus or urgency at the end. He thought his team was ready... he overlooked real problems... those problems caused them to lose.
People can spin it how they want, but this team was much better than they finished - They were better than FS.. Yet they again didn't finish strong... Mack did a beautiful job in the post pressed saying he "wished he could have done more" and then pointed out the shortcomings of what happened on the floor. Coaching and preparation (or lack their of) really had as much to do with this loss (if not more) than poor play on the court and poor officiating.
To me that is what is most disappointing.
Does anyone think a Jay Wright coaches Villanova team would ever blow a 12 point lead?
Mack doesn't deserve all of the blame but he certainly deserves his fair share of the blame for not having his team better prepared to close out games this season... including this last one.Last edited by IM4X; 03-19-2018 at 12:03 AM.

I have never ever disliked a sports reporter more than this ass hat.Tweeting about some lame ass soccer team moments after that type of game. Blatantly anti-X coverage. Haven’t paid for the Enquirer since they canned Shannon and I’ll sure as shit not pay for it again until they get ride of him.
Mom and Papa told me "Son, you gotta go to school; only way to make the fam'ly proud."
I paid no attention, left my books at home, rather play my music real loud.

Jay Wright gets a pass because he won a title. Mack is awesome, proud of the guys, this was a bad out but avoidable which makes it harder to swallow.

Villanove evolved and grew to be what they are today.
