Incredible shooting by Houston. Clank, brick, clank brick. 

Sounds like you've been to porterhouse's day camp.

There's really, really good defense being played. Sometimes that trumps the offense.

Last night I was told a call was “by the book”. Then you watch guys carry the ball and take 8 steps before a shot. All ref interpretation of what they see or I guess don’t see.

Lol I’ve been watching and I’ve seen a shit ton of wide open clank fest.

Held ball, Nova turns it over at a crucial moment.

And UH misses another layup 

Kelvin Sampson “alright guys here’s the play, I want the ball at the top of the key and I want you four to get the fuck out of the way and shoot a pull up three and then you four crash the boards and try to tip it out”

So fucking stupid by UH. Down 4 with the ball and 35 seconds left against an 85% shooting FT team. They go for a contested 2 (and miss). You absolutely have to shoot a 3 bc there’s about a 70% chance they are going to hit both, and if they don’t there’s a greater than 0 chance that they get the rebound. So stupid and now the announcers doing their don’t need a three bullshit.

I mean….

Rick Barnes and Shaka think this 3 point shooting is bad 

Houston can't hit a three to save their lives they had a couple of good looks there and whiffed.

Not enough to overturn 

Can't win going 1-17
Their inside shooting was poor too. So many missed shots close to the basket. They just didn't have enough tonight.

After seeing both teams in person last weekend in Pittsburgh I thought Houston was so similar to Villanova in its physical makeup, even a bit stronger but, that Villanova was just too well polished on both ends of the court.

I disagree that this game has been a snoozer. These are two really good teams going at it and every possession is critical. I've enjoyed it very much.

Villanova has just 15 baskets to 17. But that 1/20 from 3 is killer for Houston.

Doesnt matter how contested whatever 3 houston throws up is. Statistically, it has to go in.

Damn, i guess i did fail statistics.

Jay Wright just wins in San Antonio 

Nova is good enough to beat the CBK version of Ghidorah in KU, UNC and Duke should those 3 make it to the FF. 

Props to Nova, they earned it. UH shot a paltry 5.6% from the three, that's cringe and the reason why they lost.

Great game. Offensively challenged for both but never confuse that with an intense, hellacious game. Was a war and a great watch.
 
Whoever said this wouuldn't be close probaly hasn't watched an hour of CBB this season.
 
Nova will need a couple days to get over this, such was the physicality.  But they are the best team an will win it all

Peacocks are winning it all!

Man I did not enjoy this game. Severe PTSD from 2018 watching the Rockets miss 27 3-pointers in a row against the Warriors in game 7 of the western conference finals. It's not like I even cared that much if Houston won or lost, just the way they lost.

not like this GIF

Houston’s first ever loss in the Elite 8 and the first 2 over 5 in Elite 8 history. Something had to give

Villanova just passed its test. 

They're winning it.

More teams should try the radical approach of recruiting guys who can shoot at every position. [/captain obvious].  That’s what made Villanova’s last championship team so good, too.  All 5 guys on the floor at any given time could shoot and had at least the baseline required size/athleticism for the position.  

That team was another level because they all had legit 3 point range, but this one is also pretty stout.  Even the big guys shoot 80% from the FT line and can at least do something if you give them the ball facing the basket.  

Yes, point taken. Position-less basketball is optimal but so hard to execute. 

Villanova beat the best defensive team in the tournament tonight. From here, they will breeze.

Well … I certainly wouldn’t bet against Jay Wright.

Big potential loss for a team already a little thin
