Sunday FunDay. The very phrase gets me excited. With a Nova-Cuse clash looming on the horizon, we here in the Hunt Club have decided to make tomorrow a Sunday FunDay. On the menu are Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Beer Pong, and general mayhem. The best thing about Sunday FunDay is that its a win-win situation. It incorporates day drinking and passing out early, two of my favorite activities. I'll be sure to post a little play by play of the days events....
On to the reason for Sunday FunDay.... Nova-Cuse. Villanova has looked like a legit 3 seed at times this year and then like a bubble team at other times. They seem to lack the killer instinct that the top seeds have. There have been games this year when they've put it all together and looked amazing and then in others they have choked unbelievably... the Louisville game comes to mind here. I think they'll beat Syracuse tomorrow but let's look at the big picture.... How far will Nova go? That's a tough call right now. Jay Wright's teams always seem to peak going into March, which is exactly what you want to do. Having seen this team's good streaks on several occasions this year, if that's what they look like when they are peaking then I think they can make some noise. The offense seems nearly impossible to stop, the defense is swarming, and the hustle plays always seem to go in their favor. I love the way Stokes plays. He reminds me of a better shooting Kyle Lowry. and Scottie Reynolds seems to have a calming effect on the team in these situations. However, when Nova is off, they are wayyyy off. Reynolds seems to be on another planet and the young guys take shots they have no business taking. The defense can't stop anyone and Nova can't seem to help but shoot themselves in the foot at the foul line. That, my friends, spells disaster in March. Final verdict? I think we can expect Nova to make the conference semis in New York, get a 4 seed, and make a run to the Sweet 16, where they will fall to one of the 1 seeds. I know it stinks, but this team has Sweet 16 written all over and nothing more.
