Wrong. Need to root for our conference so it boosts our own resume when we play (and beat) them 2x this year.

Can’t help but laugh at St John’s court…

“We Are New York’s Team”

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I root for Big East over Big 12.

Doesn't matter if one has 5 schools from the Midwest, and the other has 10 members. This is our Conference, and the Challenge stands 5-3 Big East.

Why would you root for UConn to have a worse computer ranking?

 

[huskdogs]

Anyone else bet the over

Gotta pull for conference teams in outta conference games. Only helps our interests. Save personal gripes for league play which is good because we see everyone twice, at least. I’m with Nova today. Should be a good one though.

Gotta like nova getting 5

Sorry bud but have to root for in conference teams to beat topped ranked teams. If Nova beats Baylor and in conference play we beat Nova at least once, gives us a stronger rating going into the tournament. Yes! We are going to the dance.

Baylor is good. There are maybe 10-15 teams that can realistically beat them without needing a miracle. Villanova is one of those teams and Villanova looks helpless right now.

 

[Stasher599]

Baylor looks pretty good

 

[mauconnfan]

14-7 Baylor up a TD with under 8 minutes

Anyone else bet the over

I suck at betting

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I hate when Vitale makes a good point, but there has been this weird development in the last 5-10 years across college and even high school basketball where bigs refuse to look the backboard in the post. Sanogo has this problem. It makes the shots significantly more difficult.

Nova only has 9 at the under 8. Fire Wright! He can't coach..

UConn when healthy, we should be one of those teams.

The key against Nova, hands up move your feet, and stay on the ground. I know it’s more to it. But staying disciplined on defense goes along way. Baylor is running a clinic early. Nova looks slow and over matched athletically. Still early though.

Key - deny Gillespie

Baylor is amazing defensively. There is no weakness. They are good against the 3, good on the interior, good in transition, cause steals, get rebounds. These guys look like the 1991 UNLV Rebels defensively.

Is it firmly established that he's a UConn fan?

 

[AntG168]

We haven't looked this bad offensively all year

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Villanova's habit of passing up layups to take 3's looks pretty stupid right now.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

I don't see how Nova can win this game.

Baylor's D is suffocating.
