They just have so much skill at every position. They all can shoot the 3, they all rebound very well, defend at a high level. I feel that next year with Romeo we could have a lineup similar. Obviously Brunson is heads and shoulders ahead of any PG IU will have next year, but Phinesse/Green, Romeo, Hunter, Smith , Morgan is very similar to what Nova plays. Long, athletic, shoots well, rebounds, and could play great D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree, give me shooting, ball handling-decision making, length, athleticism, quickness and rebounding with commitment to the defensive end and you can beat anyone. That’s a lot to put together but it is the model imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A list of their best free throw shooters. Did not have enough time to count them all. Maybe six ? And the worst free throw shooter on the list was hitting at 70%. Everyone else was in the 80%. Something to die for, going down the stretch in a tight game. Pick your poison, trying to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw.. they have no SRs (almost unimaginable) but Brunson and Bridges will both come out. They have 3 kids signed.. all in the top 50. One is a top 25 player and he's a PG. The others are a 6'7 PF and a 6'6 wing. They'll be really, really good again next year bring back 6 of their top 8 and add those 3 kids in. DiVincenzo has star written all over him, as does Spellman.

With Morgan and Smith alone that’s a dangerous and committed group - adding the Green and Phin and frankly Al - who looks like a kid primed for a strong soph season, and that’s a team that can harass you on both ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah crazy to think no seniors. DiVincenzo is impressive, I had no idea he was as athletic as he is until todays game and the follow slam and the drive that he slammed home. They are going to be good next year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I feel as well because they when with 3 to year players who were not even top 20 players coming in except for Brunson who has been there 3 years. They have won more games in a 4 year stretch than any team has tying Duke for that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the game they talked about how 6 of the players on Villanova ha red shirted for various reasons but it has helped them adjust to the college game.

Guest Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Nova won't win their next game if they shoot the way they did today. I think that they won with defense and 2nd chance points. At one point, Tech was 6-21 on layups- certainly some were contested, but some were flat out misses. I don't think either Duke or Kansas will be as weak around the basket. I don't think either will allow 20+ offensive rebounds either. IMO, Nova is going to have to shoot a lot better than they did today to beat either team that they will face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Something about Jay Wright and Beilein, as they’ll be getting a ton of praise over the next week, deservedly so, is that Michigan and Villanova were very patient with them. Beilein was around 15ish games over .500 his first four years, missing the tournament twice, and it took Jay Wright four years to have a 20 win season at Villanova. Both have missed the tournament a few times and had years where they had bad first/second round exits. I just bring it up because as we evaluate Archie and as some hope for instant success, these programs knew they had “their guy” and were patient with them, not overreacting to a bad loss or bad season. IU, the fans, etc., have to decide if Archie is “the guy”, but if we think he is, and so far I do, then patience is going to be very key. We have to let him build a culture, system and program, and sometimes that can come quickly (hello, Romeo) but other times there are speed bumps and it can take time.

Awhile ago I looked up CAM's recruiting success at Dayton. Until he got to IU he had never had a top 100 recruit! He already has multiple. Getting top 20 recruits might take some better results than what was shown this year. Regardless of where Romeo lands, I'm impressed so far. Give it time!

Wright and Beilein are two different cases. With two different paths. B was already a proven winner at a big time program(hello West Virginia) where as Jay was at Hofstra.
