Final Four blog from The Alamodome: Kansas vs. Villanova
-
Silvio and Mitch might be a better matchup against Nova’s bigs. -
They only allow mid range shots. Have run Silvio and Udoka off the post and guard 3-4 feet outside the the three. On the other side they get easy looks every time. It will take all our heart and legs to keep them under 90. Can we score 60 and win by 2? Not with tired legs probably. Malik and DeVonte with 20 each in the second half. Will Nova get off 50 treys? Wow. -
A high school coach recently talked through the concept of 'no-help' defense with me. He used it against Clayton Custer/Ben Richardson when they were in high school. It's a recipe for foul trouble with your bigs/getting gashed inside, but at some point, you've got to stop the 3s.by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:54:50 AM -
Most 3s by an opposing team this season: 14 (Arizona State and West Virginia). Villanova with 13 already. -

KU basketball must REALLY be in trouble. twitter.com/rustindodd/sta…by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:58:54 AM

Villanova back out on the floor with about 5 minutes to go in halftime.
-
Maybe extend the D this half? Heck, maybe even press? Anything to throw them off stride and get us going
-
I see a lot of the offense tweets. It is a problem for KU, yes. They probably need to be shooting more 3s. Also Villanova scored 47 points in the first half. That needs to be fixed first. twitter.com/am_engelbrecht…by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 2:01:55 AM

We might get a diet of Bridges and Brunson drives this half. Add in a little DeVincenzo.
-
-
We need to hit over 60% in this half for sure and then figure out a way to stop the parade.
-
And the 2nd half is underway.... huge first 5 minutes for KU.
-

-
Udoka with a monster block. But Paschall doesn't blink with a 3 as the shot clock was about to expire.
-

Lagerald Vick should've pressured the ball right away. Only 4 seconds on the shot clock. Let Villanova step into a 3.by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 2:07:59 AM

Graham missed a wide-open Svi Mykhailiuk at the 3-point line on that loose ball. If KU doesn't score on this possession, that's a big moment.by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 2:08:44 AM

Shot clock violation before Graham was fouled. Looks like the right call on replay.
-
-
Spellman missed the short jumper but KU can't afford to give up second-chance points.
-
learn at least to drive and get fouled, dang it..!
-
Perfect summary of this game. Nova nails a 30 plus shot at the end of the shot clock. KU gets a shot clock violation the very next possession.
-
Paschall gave Villanova a #FinalFour record 14th 3-pointer a minute into the 2nd half after picking up a loose ball following a Udoka swat. #KUbball twitter.com/ChasenScott/st…by Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 2:10:12 AM -

DiVincenzo just brings energy to the floor. KU down 18 and then an offensive foul on Udoka Azubuike.
-
-
-
-
-
Paschall with an easy slam. Nova up 20, its biggest lead of the game.
-
-
Udoka with a quick answer. KU won't win without some stops for a 10-0 run, though.
-
-
-
After that offensive rebound and putback by Paschall, Self immediately turned to De Sousa.
-
Had to get this to single digits by media timeout, going the other way unfortuantely
