Good post. A good feeling indeed.
I was at that beautiful game, where our twin towers (Hill and Strong) kept their twin towers in check. Let’s hope we keep our two bigs in together often moving forward.
These guys now get how playing a little smarter and a little harder every game can lead to wins even when shooting isn’t perfect. It’s been the Villanova way under Wright for years and it was the Steele way last night. The team listened. They bought in. Let’s keep this going.

the Jones-Hankin tandem wasn’t working so well when GT was making their shots
it was working better when they were missing because X was controlling the boards
making shots hides a multiple of sins. (Who said that?)
the tandem big lineup won’t work against everyone
the tandem big lineup was not used exclusively during the game
IMO the change to a zone defense was much more important
I like the tandem big lineup, amd think we will see it more
after seeing it more, it’s true value will be established
who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Also....Good to see Harden begins to contribute, I hope we see it more and more, along with Kennedy

Nice win.
Is Naji Marshall not allowed to finish shots anymore? I did not get that memo."We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

Who were these "so called experts" that were talking down to fans and telling them they were ridiculous? There was disagreement on here about roster vs coaching. The only "making fun of" was when someone made the suggestion that having fun during games was hurting the team.

I'd like to see a video of Travis breaking the whiteboard.
...he went up late, and I was already up there.

There were indiviuals posting comments with the notion that this current roster didn’t have enough talent this year to be any better and that we would have to wait until next year to see any improvement. There were some, myself included, who believed it wasn’t that their wasn’t enough talent coaching or on the roster but that they just weren’t playing/ coaching up to their potential.
In the end, it doesn’t matter who said what though... what matters is that this team and Steele have proven they can indeed get on the same page and dig deeper and coach and player smarter and harder.Last edited by IM4X; 01-10-2019 at 12:15 PM.
