[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1208965, member: 7536"] Carolina is big and there bigs run the floor well, they didn't use either last night. Credit to Villanova for great "D" and effort to shut down the inside, the surprising thing about points in the paint to me was how few points NC got in the paint. NC isn't a great 3 pt shooting team & NC getting hot in the beginning from 3 may have been part of there downfall in giving them a false sense of confidence & then relying to much on the outside game. For Villanova on offense it would be interesting to see who scored the points in the paint, because it sure seemed like most of them where guards on layups vs. the traditional throw it into a big posting up. In the end, I think Villanova played the smarter/harder game & took NC out of what they should have been doing...but the game was tight enough that it easily could have went the other way in overtime or the flip side barring the late rally by NC could have been a 10 pt Villanova win. Tonight the smaller team won, but I think in the end it is just Villanova playing really good basketball at the right time. [/QUOTE]
