The difference between Gonzaga and Villanova to me is the core of each program
Both can be very efficient offenses and do a lot of things that make life tough
But...
Villanova can be a scrappy team on the defensive team. Still a Big East team especially one from Philadelphia.
Still remember the game that pretty much ended Ben Howland's run at UCLA. Was a Heavyweight vs a lightweight. The Bruins didn't want to get physical with Jay Wright's team.

Sounds like Grant-Foster is turning it up. Looking forward to watching him teabag Gonzaga.
Yesterday, he got on a roll [like] we haven’t had anybody get on a roll here maybe in years in practice," Self said.
He just scored the ball; [he] makes hard shots, gets real baskets," Self continued. "We haven’t had somebody that could go get their own like he can, when he’s good, in a long time. We’ve also had guys that could go get their own better than Tyon can if Tyon’s not good. So we’ve just got to figure out 'good Tyon' and certainly get him to be more consistent.”
After Self's initial comment about Wednesday's practice, Grant-Foster became a popular topic of conversation for the rest of the interview session — both with Self and players. One of those players, redshirt-senior Mitch Lightfoot, was asked how Grant-Foster's playing style compared to another notable Kansas one-and-done: Josh Jackson.
"He doesn’t get enough credit for this, but he can definitely block shots, affect shots around the rim and get in there and offensively rebound," Lightfoot said, "which is something we’ve applauded him for."
“It’s pretty special,” Lightfoot said. “I’ve played with a lot of really good players here. That scoring is kind of different. Guys I’ve played with, they [could] really score the ball. But he scores in such a different way.”
“He brings something to the table that I haven’t seen since I’ve been with coach Self,” Teahan added. “He’s just like a lanky athlete that can get his shot off no matter what. He’ll have two people draped all over him and all of a sudden he’ll step back and rise up and you’ll be like, ‘No way he gets that shot off.’ And it’ll go in. It almost seems like the more contested his shots are the better they are."

You are worrried about McCormack?
That dude is going to go off this year.
our offense will take a minute but we will be a great offense once everyone settles into their role. We know how early college basketball can be

Agree....Right there you brother... I mean how in the **** can you trust a poll that doesn't have Indiana ranked?
Dumb.....
man I agree. Dok was such a force. Shame he wasn’t born in shaqs era. Shaqs probably a bit more athletic but thosemight be the two most powerful big men I’ve ever seen.
Hell, I'm not even confident that any team will win it all. #FvckCovid
True.
There are other things that helped KU but when it came time.
He was the easiest way to score points in the conference
In a conference where points are a premium that is important
Big 12 is playing games in the 50's and 60's and not the 70's and 80's.
That will not change this year
Still confident about McCormack?
Self generally doesn’t heap undeserved praise on players, so I’m sure he’ll have much better days, but this was pretty brutal.
I’m confident that he can be a scorer. But what the team needs is a rim protector and rebounder who doesn’t turn it over.
Not confident at all.
Need a legit facilitator at the 1 and a big that can give Kansas 30min of D..
I'd be stoked with an E8

To be honest, I thought they looked worse in the first game last year. I think it's too early to draw many conclusions.
Dave's D is definitely a concern though.
This is the most talent in terms of recruiting service metrics Chris Beard has had in Lubbock. McClung and Santos have absolutely been additions so far.
They played great defense for stretches today. So the potential is there for a run. But we have to see what happens when we play Houston, St Johns, LSU, and the Big 12.

So Shaka was right to be confident. Enough that he pushed 2 players out already
When a guy is coaching for his job and isn't bringing in transfers
He is either stupid or extremely confident

After tonights game? 100% confident. The tweak is here, baby! Cal just needs to be ejected earlier from now on.
I'm pretty sure we're undefeated when he gets ejected.
There’s pretty much no chance we do any damage in March but tonight was fun
Bowl win and a rare win for the basketball team...Ill take it.
Clemson obv sucks too, they just smack around other ACC teams. UNC will beat way overrated TAMU though.
I am talking about this year, not living in the past. 😁
Dude nailed his first four prediction
