    How do you think this game will turn out? Villanova's 3 guard lineup will hurt us, but I think that we should use it to our advantage and give Brewer some post up opportunities, since he will be able to post up one of their guards. I hope the Gators keep it close, rather than trying to blow nova out. We play really bad having a big lead(just look at the Ohio game). Walsh and Roberson coulnd't make anything, so I think both or at least one of them will be hot today. I predict Gators by 3.

    Brewer is going to need to have a solid game on both sides of the court, and Walsh, Roberson, and Lee are going to what they do best. But Villanova's offense is going to have to come with their A game.

    This is going to be a fun one!

    I'm sure Villanova will win. I mean, they are the higher seed, so how things have been going, yeah.

    I actually do think Villanova will win it. Their guards are just too potent. Unless Florida can get Brewer and their other big men really involved, I see Villanova moving on.

    Well what I meant by higher was they were five and Florida was four. And it's like five is bigger (higher) than four.

    That's what I meant.

    Villanova won it 76-65. Frasor had a monster game with 21 points and 14 boards. Foye also had 18. But the key reason 'Nova won on this day was because they shutdowb Florida's leading scorer Anthony Roberson to just 5 points. David Lee went out on a nice note with 20 pointd and 11 boards, but it's a shame he couldn't at least got to the Sweet 16 this year.

    Villanova is not a team I'd want to play at this point.

    I really think Villanova deserved to win this game. They are a great team, and they beat a good Florida team. Everyone talks about Villanova's offense, but today their defense won it. As you stated, they shut down Roberson. I personally think they did an all right job controlling the paint also. Frasor and Foye both had nice games.

    Good, I had Villanova winning this one. Nice little upset for me for my bracket. Next I have Villanova losing to UNC though.

    Villanova played a great game and we played like crap, so Villanova definetely deserved to win. When we cut the lead to 1, we just started jacking up 3's instead of trying to get the ball to Lee or driving. Hopefully Nova can beat UNC. Lee ended his career on a good game, but not the result he wanted. He was our whole team today.

    What a job Jay Wright has done in building that program from scratch in Villanova.
