THE OPPONENT
Villanova enters the NCAA Tournament coming off a defeat vs. Seton Hall in the Big East Tournament. The Wildcats unexpectedly lost, but still, they are 28-4, the 4th-best record in the country.
Villanova is extremely “solid” across the board. They defend, gang rebound, make turnovers into transition points, and precisely move the ball in the half court. Villanova executes “team” basketball—no player averages more than 3.5 assists, yet the Wildcats rank 20th in the country at 16 assists per game. Balanced, experienced, and terrific team chemistry.
In terms of personnel, Villanova has great perimeter size. 6-3 point guard, two 6-6 wings, a 6-7 power forward, 6-11 center, and a 6-6 guard off the bench. In other words:
PG: 6-3
SG: 6-6
SF: 6-6
PF: 6-7
C: 6-11
G/F: 6-6
Offensively, their success is predicated on transition and 3-point shooting. 35% of Villanova’s points are 3-pointers, while only 11% are traditional post-ups.
Defensively, Villanova applies a three-quarter-court press on 14.3% of its defensive possessions, 40th most in the country. On the press, its athletic backcourt smothers opponents and converts turnovers into transition baskets. They trap every pass, and are relentless in their pursuit of the basketball. Villanova’s 20% turnover percentage is 54th best in the country. Even when they don’t apply full pressure, they set up in their three-quarter-court press to disrupt opponents from setting into their offense.
Point guard Ryan Arcidiacono is Villanova’s leader in the half court. At 6-3, Arcidiacono is a savvy floor general with impeccable feel for the game. Tight handle and jump shot, and he has range from deep. Arcidiacono can change speeds, and he is automatic pulling-up for a jump shot, particularly in pick-and-roll. Arcidiacono is Villanova’s primary ball handler and pick-and-roll threat. Lethal shooter, but also has terrific court vision to facilitate for teammates. Simply put, Arcidiacono facilitates Villanova’s offense to perfection.
Alongside Arcidiacono on the perimeter are upperclassmen Darrun Hilliard and James Bell. Both have great size at 6-6, and both are dangerous shooters. Hilliard has the green light to shoot from anywhere, and he can create off the bounce. Bell is a physical guard who can shoot from deep or drive powerfully to the basket. Be ready on the catch for both.
Bell is an all-around threat, leading Villanova in scoring and a rebounding. And you must account for Hilliard on the perimeter. If you’re a second late on the catch, they can make you pay.
At the power forward spot is 6-7 junior JayVaughn Pinkston. A former McDonald’s All-American, Pinkston is Nova’s primary post threat, converting 55% in the paint. Not a terrific athlete, but Pinkston is skilled and physical down low. He has a soft right hook, and dunks most balls near the basket. Pinkston averages 14 points and 6 rebounds, capable of dominate the post if he’s feeling it.
6-11 center Daniel Ochefu is alongside Pinkston on the interior. He plays physical and staunch defense, is big on the glass, and boxes out with great technique (6 rebounds in 20 minutes per game). He secures rebounds on offense, and can defend opposing bigs on defense. Ochefu was named co-Most Improved Player in the Big East, along with Darrun Hilliard.
Freshman Josh Hart is Nova’s first reserve off the bench and he fits right in. A 6-6 athletic swingman, Hart is a very capable player with an extremely high motor. He thrives in transition (25% of attempts), attacks the glass for tip-ins, and can knock down shots from behind the arc. Hart empties the tank every game, with the athleticism and skill set to make an impact on both ends. It’s best to think of Hart as an extension of the starting lineup, because he’d be starting for a lot of other high-major teams.
Overall, the Wildcats are balanced and experienced. Arcidiacono is like a surgeon with his handle, and pull-up jump shot; Hilliard is a playmaker from the perimeter, with a lethal jump shot; Bell is explosive from all over the floor; Pinkston is their physical post presence who runs the floor; Ochefu plays solid defense and cleans up at 6-11; and Hart uses his athleticism to make plays from the wings.
They force turnovers on 20% of opponent possessions defensively; and they have made the 9th-most 3′s offensively. Protect the basketball, match Villanova’s intensity on the glass, and contest their shooters from three-point range.
