My buddy says Villanova and Alabama have equal talent in men’s basketball

I say “no way”

Who is right?

Villanova is more talented, deeper, and better coached

No shot.

Alabama has Sexton, that’s basically it.

Villanova's 6-10 probably beat Alabama 8/10 times in a game. Need any more?

If they have equal talent, they sure didn't show it all year.

But seriously, a lot of schools have "equal" talent to Villanova. It's just their players are on a mission right now and look invincible.

Nova has their kids stay on campus all 4 years (or however long they're there).

Nova is simply a different school, and for basketball, in a league of their own.

That said, I'd say yeah, Bama is pretty damn talented. Avery just has yet to turn that into anything much. I say much because it's waaaaay better than what it was for too damn long.

frick Alabama

People were getting ahead of themselves saying duke was more talented than Nova. Bama isn’t even close.

Bama has nice talent, but certainly lacks in the head coaching department in comparison to Nova.

Alabama has more athletic players. Villanova has better basketball players and better shooters.

The bama players would score better in an nfl combine type event, but not a basketball game
