Villanova vs. Kansas: 'Nova advances to Final Four

A 10-0 run midway through the second half and clutch free throws down the stretch were enough to push the Villanova Wildcats past the Kansas Jayhawks, 64-59. Villanova advances to the Final Four for the first time since 2009 with the victory.

I didn't watch the game nor am I rooting for either of these teams, but I can tell you a bit about this video with regards to the editing.

This video showed 5 shots for Nova and 14 for Kansas. They did show the kick ball from Kansas, the steal at the 5:00 mark for Nova, the free throw, and the Nova Steal at the end of the game.

Here are some of my notes:
Nova-Turn over "Another turnover. A little cause of concern there for Villanova (score 2-0 Kansas)"

1st shot for Nova was when it was 23-16 Nova ("Last 11 to Villanova" the announcer
said.)

3rd shot for Nova (1:49) "Dagger" by the announcer.

4th shot by Nova (40-42 Kansas at the moment 2:57) Towards Kansas, "Got out of rhythm, can't get their defense set."

This was a video that heavily favored Kansas.

In the NCAA tournament, Villanova beat 5 consecutive teams that were ranked in the Top 10 at some point this season - the last 4 were all ranked in the Top 10 in the final poll (10, 1, 7 and 3) - and the last 3 were all ranked #1 at some point during the season. Amazing run of teams they went through - their path was not cleared for them with any upsets at all.

Commentators were so disappointed at the end. What an embarrassment they were

[tague]

this video showed 34 kansas points and 12 villanova points hahaha

[blackmorefan]

What an epic game. I watched this in person in Louisville, and it was one of the best games I have ever witnessed. I'm a huge Nova fan, but props to Kansas for making this the best game of the tournament!!!

[enigma]

This was Kansas highlights right? and Villanova just happens to play them.
Because I didn't really see Villanova's highlights in this video.

[jeri]

It was hard for me to watch at the end as a diehard jayhawks fan, but we'll be ready for next year I hope. 🙂 Congrats Wildcats

[allenjones]

With all the Kansas highlights being shown you'd think they won the game

[DeseanCanCatch]

wow these comentators couldn't be more anti-nova

[davelex]

Congrats... Wissahickon (PA) Grad, University of Kentucky Grad and the most hardcover UK fan ever who.. Just wanted to say awesome job..

[taxevader]

Didn’t show nova at all. Well take the chip with easily the best team that year. Ran through everyone.

[rockchalker]

That foul call on Graham is till one of worst calls I’ve seen. Ku should’ve won the natty this year too.

[EagertubeGamer]

That's it Villinova is in the Final Four, lets all take it home.

[bargainbuyer]

Anyone else have suspicion on questionable calls against Kansas? i.e. the steal that was called a foul against a Kansas player and the no-call Arci slap on a Kansas player to the steal ball at the end.

KU has 16 Final Fours/9 National Title game apperances & 3 National Titles.
Since 2002//
- KU has most overall wins in the country.
- KU has most NCAA Tournament wins in country.
- KU has the most Conf Titles.
- KU has the most Conf Tournament Titles.
- 11 Elite8s
- 6 Final Fours
- 3 National Title game apperances
- 1 National Title



* NCAA Tournament is a single-game elimination crapshoot.
If NCAA Tournament was like the NBA Playoffs? Or even a double-elimination for #1 & #2seeds?
Teams like Kansas/Duke/UNC/Kentucky would have double as many National Titles. Any team can have hot night hitting 3pointers or any team can have 1 off night.
College Basketball success is about consistency.
(Overall wins/Reg Season Conf Titles/Conf Tournament Titles/NCAA Tournament bids/NCAA Tournament wins/FF apppeances/National Title game apperances & National Titles/ +20gm winning seasons/+25gm winning seasons/+30gm winning seasons & consecutive NCAA Tournaments made)

^^^ Kansas leads about 90% of all those criterias in those parentheses.
But no doubt. Kansas needs this. Honestly more than other 3 schools. #4 National Title.

[justinlafollett]

Am i the only one whos bracket is still going good

[MegaEdouble]

After watching this KU "highlight" video, you would assume they beat Nova by double digits. Great job!!

[Idol]

Aww poor your big named school go down?lol

[davidbush]

Lol gotta love how it shows nothing but Kansas scoring. I'll take our win an National Title tho. Keep hating. Nova.
