Pulling one out of their…

I’m not sure how it happened, as I wasn’t able to see the game last night. But it sure seems like Villanova was down by 15 points with 3 minutes remaining in the game, and still beat LSU…in regulation. The bloggers at LetsGoNova have a good account of the action.

It seems as though LSU decided to employ the ever-popular “foul your opponent when he’s attempting a 3-pointer” strategy to ensure Villanova could get within striking distance.

I watched the game and it was an unbelievable comeback. LSU certainly didn’t help themselves protecting the lead but Nova made their free throws and capitalized on stupid fouls to cut the lead to 1 and took a bad shot to win it but McDermott was right there and no one boxed him out for the put back to win it. The game never should have been so one-sided but Nova left LSU shooters uncovered for 55 minutes and tightened down the last 5.
