Villanova eeeks out Saint. Joseph’s in 2nd Half Push

December 12, 2008 by  

At the end of every practice, most players end with some kind of drill done religiously.  For Scottie Reynolds every practice is ended with shooting around and free throws which help him to finish games, pad his stats, and overcome adversity.  It paid off last night against Saint Joseph’s.  The Wildcats found themselves down by 9 at halftime and wondering if they deserved the #12 ranking.  By the end of the game, my questions had been answered and I was able to watch a great college basketball game.  Saint Joseph’s is the real deal folks, and Villanova is getting polished.  My only question about Villanova is how they are going to play against Top 25 teams…I mean thats great and all if you can get out of the first or second round, but the only ranked team they have played beat them by nine.  Don’t worry though, he will have plenty of chances come January.  Exactly 1/2 their last 18 games are Top 25 ranked teams at this time including #2, #3, #10, #13, #16 and more.   To give you an idea, Texas was ranked #6 when they played Villanova and beat them by 9.  I would say come tournment time, this team will more than likely be a 5 loss team ranked somewhere in the #11-#15 by the time the tournament comes around.
