3 in a row?!

Tonight is a real test of how much this Villanova team has turned it around. Louisville is one of the toughest places to play in the conference and although they've not been up to their preseason hype, they're still a very strong team, even with the injuries they've experienced.

See you all in the game thread tonight, I'm finally back in America!

The funny thing is

when he attacks the basket, he draws fouls and grabs offensive boards, and had a couple of nice plays over the past several games. Underneath it all, he is very athletic and a good slasher. Except…

HE NEVER WANTS TO DO THAT. It’s like he signed a blood pact with Corey Stokes that he would carry the torch of being the sharp shooter. Perhaps every time he gets the ball, gets in the 3 point stance, and thinks of driving to the hoop, Stokes pops into his mind, reminding him of the oath he took 3 years ago…to Always. Shoot. The. Three.

That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
