Baylor vs Villanova Preview
Nova is fresh from an 84-61 win over North Texas last weekend. The Cats led for the majority of the game, and saw a well-rounded attack on offense, with four players scoring in double figures, led by Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, who notched 18 points, six rebounds and six assists in the win. The Wildcats beat 12th-seeded Winthrop in the first round of the tourney, and now they’ll be facing the team many have pegged to win it all.
“They’re awesome, we played them last year,” Nova coach Jay Wright said about the Bears this week. “They’ve got all the same guys back that beat us last year, and we lost a first-round draft pick. We know how good they are, but we got a few days of practice here and try to prepare. I think they’ve been one of the best teams in the country, them and Gonzaga all year. We’re going to get to play the best and that’s why you play the NCAA Tournament. You look forward to these types of games.”
The Bears boast one of the nation’s best back courts, with guards Jared Butler (14.2 points a game) and Davion Mitchell (16.9 points a game) running the show. Together with MaCio Teague, Baylor has been consistently dominant all season. The Bears lead the nation in three-point percentage (41.5), and they’ll give Villanova everything it can handle at the perimeter and beyond.
“They are team-oriented guys. They have a great chemistry,” Baylor head coach Scott Drew said about his team. “They’re trying to make plays for each other instead of just getting theirs.”
“We just all sacrifice for each other on the basis that most teams with this kind of talent aren’t willing to do,” Teague added, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Everybody has a chance to eat on our team. We’re just bought in to our program.”
