Absolutely crazy how poorly Houston is shooting. My guess is their 2nd chance point total is significantly lower than against us and Arizona

Moot now, but why was that last Villanova possession ruled jump ball (possession arrow) rather than a travel?

I think it was because the defender held possession of the ball at the same time as the offensive player.

I've only caught 80% of this first game, but I don't believe Villanova has set a single high screen. It's mostly (1) Gillespie getting the paint under control and dishing, (2) 1:1 basketball by their elite athletes, and (3) ball movement around the perimeter with lots of movement and back screens, often leading to 3-pointers. Tons of bounce passes too.

Jay Price is a genius. Quite impressive. They don't give away points. You can't play out of control on this team. Plus they play elite defense. How refreshing!

one of the lowest scoring Elite 8 games ever. Houston shot well against us 42%+, and 29.8% against Nova. Of course Nova shot even worse at 29.8% . . .

All of us who lived through the later Weber years knows this isn't true.

Houston against Illinois: 42% FG, 27% 3-pt
Houston against Villanova: 30% FG, 5% 3-pt

Great defense by Villanova, but c’mon… woulda been nice if they shot like that against Illinois, haha.
Yeah when UH 3 is not going it is easier to crowd the lane against them.

Also their FT% tonight was horrible compared to when they played us

How much was that Nova’s defense and how much was it UH? I am not sure.

Nova did not look that much bigger than us. However they could move the ball and limited stupid turnovers

Just goes to show you basic fundamentals still win games. Good positional defense, rebound, take care of the ball and make free throws. Its no big secret, just don't see many teams emphasizing them any more.
