Syracuse v. Villanova: Box Score Summary
We beat Villanova last weekend, but we could have beaten any team in the country. I watched that game in utter amazement, as T.Rob and (Democrats for) Darryl dominated inside. Sumpter posted good numbers, but was never the force that our front line was. Awesome. Nichols dropped 21 points in the first half, but had only 2 points in the second, as Villanova focused their defense on him, and Syracuse made them pay.
Box Score:
1. Nichols: 40 min, 23 points, 5-6 3FG.
2. Roberts: 34 min, 17 points, 14 boards, 3 fouls, 3 assists, 5-5 FT.
3. Watkins: 30 min, 2 fouls, 3 blocks, 1 steal.
4. Villanova Team: 36.1% FG, 27 rebounds (vs. Syr's 37), 21 fouls.
5. Paul Harris: 17 min, 0-0 FG, 2 TOs, 3 boards, 1 assist.
Incredible game. Wright didn't look good (5 TOs, 3 assists), but a lot of that was showboating and stupidity. Harris looked like an overmatched freshman. I'm not sure what Rautins brings to the table, but he's long and he waves his arms wildly. A white Duany, perhaps? Loads of improvement from the seniors, though, and especially from the front line. If those guys play like they did Saturday, we are a very dangerous team. Very!

Twelve games left, and only 3 of those should be very competitive for a tournament team:
Notre Dame
UConn x 2
Of course, G'town and Providence have a good shot at making some noise that would amend that assessment.
Additional note: MAN we have an easy conference schedule this year.
I was giddy when we ripped off back-to-back road wins then the Villanova victory right after my pessimistic post. Do you realize Nichols leads the conference in scoring?? How crazy is that? Feels like a down year for the Big East though.
