Villanova vs DePaul

What can we say about Villanova? This wasn't a bad loss at all. Defensively we played well, but the Blue Demons couldn't shoot the ball. DePaul shot 41% from the field and 19% from three. Eric Dixon, best player for Villanova, didn't have a good game against the Blue Demons. A huge plus for the Blue Demons that were able to contain him. Only bad thing is Villanova hit their shots and out rebounded DePaul by six. DePaul forced more turnovers on Villanova. We couldn't create those opportunities in baskets. One thing as a fan we can look at is this stat right here. Eric Dixon performance against DePaul was his worse all season. Lowest points scored in the whole season and worse shooting performance all season. We got to the free throw line but couldn't convert. The shots we took weren't bad shots. They weren't going down at all. We shot 40% from the free throw line. Overall, this game wasn't a disappointing loss. With everything being bad offensively for DePaul; the score was only a 10 point deficit. The journey doesn't get easier from here. We have to keep up the effort defensively and make shots. It's hard for a team like DePaul to be without starting guard Connor Enright. Spacing will be challenge for the offense because he opened up the floor so much for shooters. Next man up mentality for the Blue Demons. Next episode will air on Spotify and Apple Music next Wednesday. Subscribe to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcast!
