Eh. Nova was pretty beatable last year, and they lost their clear cut second best player in Earl so we will definitely have an advantage inside. If we can keep Collin in check it should be a very competitive game. Obviously easier said than done, especially with Wright on the other sideline, but I don't think this is an unbeatable Nova team by any means.

Fair point--I was thinking JR Earl was still around. I think they're a clear cut above us... in a 7 game series, I don't think we win. But when the championship is one game, we stand a chance. Our biggest advantage is Sanogo and our offensive reboudning.

I'm going to need to see a more adaptable in-game coaching style from Hurley to believe that we can beat Jay Wright. He's going to pinch every possession out of a mismatch, change his defense to keep you confused, prioritize shooters, etc... he's a guy that adapts to your adaptations mid-game. I'm not sure Hurley has that in his tanks yet.

I agree Jay Wright is the biggest advantage they have. Bouk was scoring at will the first of that game last year, and once Nova started doubling we had no answers. One of the biggest mysteries of last year was how they never figured out how to get easy buckets when teams would literally double and triple team Bouk.

Does McDermott own a suit? Someone didn’t get the memo.

At least Geno has the resume to say “screw it I’m gonna wear what I want”:

He lives in Nebraska. We're lucky he didn't come dressed like this.

The Connecticut Post has RJ Cole and Tyrese Martin on the All big east second team and Adama Sanogo on the all big east honorable mention. What do y'all think of that?

The Big East coaches voted on that. Not the Connecticut Post.
