Nova with 10 3s at the half. I haven't watch Nova hardly at all this year. Are they very dangerous?

Villanova is a very good 3 point shooting team on the season. They make 9 per game and shoot 38.5%

But when I team with some length and toughness defends them well (like Georgetown did in a 78-58 romp) they are not as good.

Of course, any team that can shoot like that can be dangerous though, but I wouldn't be shaking in my boots if we faced them. I'd prefer them to Duke, Wisconsin, Arizona, or Virginia.

Their ball movement is wonderful. Ryan Arcidiacono is a legit PG. They have two PFs, Pinkston and Ochefu, who are not huge but skilled rebounders. They are a very unselfish team, like UK in that regard. They will be a handful in the tournament.

Jay Wright has done a fantastic job with this team.

Nova playing so well recently the committee will make sure they and Dook aren't paired up as the 1-2, 2-1 in the East now.

They should breeze through the Big East tournament. Hard to imagine them not getting a #1. Would be really unfair for them to get shipped out west.
