Having watched the replay of Villanova's game winning shot, is there a moving pick by Arcidiacono?
There's a moving pick on almost every play by both teams in all of college basketball these days. At some point it because acceptable for a big man to come up to the the top of the key and set moving screens all over the place and every team does it.
Even if you subscribe to this theory, there still wasn't one on Jenkins shot. There's absolutely NO contact between Arcidiacono and anyone (in fact, there's no one within a foot of him), so no screen. The original poster must be blind.

I could watch the beauty of that all day. Simple team basketball. Thanks for that breakdown.considering how Arcidiacono never even touched a defender . . . not only NO, but how high do you have to be to even ask that question?
Here's a good break down of the play by sbnation:

Watched the game rooting for Villanova. My daughter in law is a graduate.Another sad, VERY sad UNC fan. UNC much like the Yankees and Cowboys have a fan base of "front-runners" !!!!
Villanova was the BETTER team and should have won by 10-15. They slowed down their offense a tad early and it almost cost them the game. Plus they missed some foul shots that rarely miss. UNC fans want to say UNC lost the game, Nova did not BEAT them !!!! Frontrunners!!!!

I heard it referred to as a "brush screen", as in running across the path which the defender would prefer to take, but not initiating any contact or planting in his path. No foul.

Not an NC fan nor Yankees (though I am a Yunker) nor Cowboys. It was a earnest question.
OK the question just seemed a bit like looking for an excuse for UNC "very bad" defense. How do you not have a man on one of the best 3 point shooters in the country?
It was a good look, but it was a NBA three, easily. Look at the pictures, the UNC big man got there a moment too late.I think the fact that Nova only need a 2 to win made UNC have to guard everything, 3 or non-3, and that made it harder to guard a 3 well. That said, I am surprised the Nova player got such a good look.
'Nova got away with several travels and was also the beneficiary of 2-3 "loose change" calls on UNC during the course of the game.....BUT.....for anyone to suggest there was anything but great execution by 'Nova on their final possession, well, they should themselves be executed. Nothing but air on the pass, nothing but air followed by nothing but net on the shot.
Forget who said it last night, maybe it was JJ.Watts: "That's what makes sports great!"
Honestly looking forward to watching Jenkins shot time after time over the next decade instead of Laettner's 1992 shot against Kentucky!

I was very surprised how much they let go on both sides of the court. What a great game to watch tho.I complained about those 'lose' calls against UNC during the game.
No matter, Villanova won the game and my hat is off to them.

And 3 credits...Yes, Arch fouled air. Air should have been awarded 2 free throws.
Nova is the better team, that is all. Actually they should have won by at least 10, but they called off the offense a tad too early and missed some free throws to create the ending. UNC took advantage of the NOVA "rest".
No absolutely no moving pick, no contact was ever made with a defender. What he did was a rub screen and it is perfectly legal.Having watched the replay of Villanova's game winning shot, is there a moving pick by Arcidiacono?
IF they played ten times it would go 6-4, 5-5 or 4-6.
It almost made you think he had taken the UNDER and knew the three pointer that won it for 'Nova also made the OVER a winner!
Or maybe just thinking how hard it'll be to replace Ryan A next year.....that kid is a gamer: doesn't miss open shots, handles the ball well (1 turnover this weekend?), plays great individual AND team defense, hustles his butt off.
Ryan is already replaced as is Ochefu for next year. They will be REALLY good next year as well. Actually, deeper.
Brunson, Booth, Jenkins, Hart, Paschall (transfer who was A10 frehman of the year), Bridges, Reynolds and Omari Spellman 6'8 top 20 recruit. There's your 8 deep assuming Hart and Jenkins stay.I'm not sure Brunson or Booth can replace Arch...especially from a leadership standpoint. And isn't Ochefu being replaced by a freshman? I'd love to agree with you but I'm not so sure. You are more in tune with the recruiting aspect so I'd love to hear who starts next year and why you think they will be better. Thanks

Right about Brunson. Given Arch's vast improvement in all facets of his game over the last four years, people forget that as a freshman and sophomore he struggled some and was heavily criticiized in some places. Brunson had a far better freshman season than Ryan A.Actually, Brunson will be better than Arch. Brunson is a 5 star recruit and an outstanding point guard. Very smart, leadership no problem, that is probably his best asset. He was out of position with Arch on the floor. Next year he will be THE point with Booth as the 2. Bench will be deeper than this year. Team will be bigger and deeper.
