Nova up 16-12 and then in the course of 2 minutes the refs call 6 fouls on Nova and Spellman, DiVincenzo, Brunson and Bridges all with 2 fouls and on the bench at the 10 minute mark. Vols turn a 4 pt defcit into an 8 pt lead immediately after. These refs are brutal.

bigs missing shots close. allowing offensive rebounds. TOs. Nova doesn't have Hart to bail them out any more. Brunson needs to step up and take over the game.

[GumbyDamnit!]

At the half:

Spellman - 3
Bridges - 2
Brunson - 2
DiVincenzo - 2
Cosby-Roundtree - 2

25 total fouls called. Most of those fouls called in the first 10 minutes. I don’t mind losing but when your key guys are on the bench for most of the game it’s a little frustrating.

Please let them play.

It’s hard to ask freshmen to bail them out when Brunson, Bridges, DiVincenzo and Spellman (their 4 primary scorers) are all glued to the bench with 2 fouls at the 10 minute mark.

You have 3 posts, all complaining about the refs and foul situation.

Nova has 13 fouls, Tennessee has 12 fouls.

Villanova is just getting outplayed. Period.

Coming on the hells of a near loss to Western Kentucky, would be a tough loss for Nova and the league.

[MUPanther]

Well, here comes Villanova! 3 point game already, just 3 minutes into the 2nd half.

I like the freshmen. but they need time to get there. right now this needs to be brunson and bridges show for nova.

Booth doesn't look like he's 100%. Paschall is struggling. Divincenzo can't be the 1st option on offense.

Nova rallying big time up 65-59 with 8min to play.
