Bad matchup because of Robinson Earl
Baylor would be better if they had a big they include in their offense more.

Good amount of people on this board, on Twitter and in the media.
Villanova is using that to motivate them.
They put them as a 5 seed...
When I said they had a chance earlier in the week all the naysayers came out.
I like that she's unofficially already dead.
They know who they are on here...

Don't have the time.
Nova ain't no hoe...
Not going to bend over to nobody.
Especially when Wright is hitting all the buttons

They were on every upset list in the first round against Winthrop.
And? They’re still a good program. Nobody is saying they have no shot against Baylor.
So naturally they both won big and it was another 12 seed who made a run to the elite 8.
Exactly.
But those guards are smart and can get to the basket. At times they are too guard oriented and don't use all 5 with the ball.
This is why I thought this was definitely the best game of the Sweet 16
Clearly Baylor is the more talented team but Scott Drew is choking and holding them back, the quest to final 4 may be over.
Even broken clocks are right once every 43,200 seconds, assuming they aren't electronic of course
I’m just saying an easy case is made to give them a chip on their shoulder and play above what appears on paper.
There’s a difference between playing with a chip on your shoulder and OMG nobody on the board is giving them a chance .
Relax, people are just flexing who have nothing else to try to flex about
Baylor getting punked inside. Roy's first 2 titles we had to go through them and it wasn't easy.
Well this is a Nova team without one of their best players, and Baylor looks shocked and lost. Baylor have the talent to win it all but Scott Drew will screw it up at some point, seems it can be as early as today.
Nova had an inauspicious end to their conference tourney, created a big domino effect. they probably were a low 3 or high 4 based on resume. Without that, Louisville probably dances, and some of the other crazy upsets we saw didn't happen. Fun times
Hard to deny the big the ball when he can play on the perimeter...
This is what makes Villanova so efficient on offense.
Difficult to defend

All that being said, if Baylor goes on a 11-2 run in the first 4 minutes of this half, it won't exactly be a surprise. They just don't have any energy in the ball right now
With all being said, Baylor's problem hasnt been on the defensive end, Nova scoring 30pts at the half is already low for their season average. The issue is, they only scored 23pts, and Scott Drew's in-game adjustment is non-existent so Nova could go on a 13-0 run as if its nothing at all. This is why I was always sure that Scott Drew would screw up Baylor's title chance at one point, since when opponents are going on a run he could do nothing but to watch and pray.
Attacking coaching...
You see how they started to get their big involved
The reason Villanova can defend Baylor better is because their offense relies around 3 players
Nova's relies on 5....
You can blame coaching but at the end of the day those 3 guards can all put up 30+ points any night
I'm casually watching this game, literally watching birds fly in the sky through my window mostly. That said it seems Baylor is taking 3s early and out of rhythm really, and Villanova is getting a good look every trip down. Refs frustrating Baylor a little, I think the refs are on board with the Nova train, this can happen in these games. So Baylor's big dogs better step up soon.
He is in there now.
Their offense looks ways more efficient
His defense isn't great.
