Daily News | Observations from Villanova’s 75-65 loss to DePaul
After watching Tuesday night’s 75-65 loss to DePaul, it’s fair to say the Wildcats will be pretty lucky to head home with one win.
Villanova, which was one of the better teams in the country taking care of the basketball just a few weeks ago, is trending in the wrong direction when it comes to turnover margin. Eighteen turnovers vs. UConn was at least a bit explainable, given the Huskies’ athleticism and press. Combined with too often going under screens and getting lost on switches... it wasn’t a pretty one for Villanova.This isn’t a new problem for Villanova. Eric Dixon is a great basketball player and has been Villanova’s most consistent offensive player this season. But what Dixon is not is a true center, no matter how capable he is of playing bigger than his size at times .
Part of the reason Villanova continues to allow a high percentage of shots around the rim to go in is because of Dixon’s size — he’s listed at 6-8, but might be a little shorter — and that he doesn’t have a backup. Reserve big man Nnanna Njoku is out with a foot injury, but even when he was healthy he wasn’t in the rotation.
