I would like to see Nova and URI both in the East Region come tourney time. The ceiling for URI is probably a 5 seed coming out of the A10 (with a 6 or 7 more probable with 2 or 3 more losses). I assume Nova lands the 1 seed.

If URI and NOVA met in the Regional semi or Regional final in Boston that could be one great great game. The match-up itself based on styles lends to it being must watch TV for serious hoops fans. It will be very interesting to see if Hurley can navigate this team to the 2nd weekend. URI's six guards are the deepest in the country.

I think Hurley's a very good coach but Nova vs. URI would be a bloodbath. Spellman & Bridges would just brutalize them down low, and Brunson's too good to let URI's tempo & intensity rock him.

Nova really is a worst-case match-up for URI at any stage.

Well URI beat Seton Hall @ MSG despite a big game from Delgado. They did it without EC Mathews and Langevine. Both were out. It will be interesting to see if Nova wins @ SH. I think Brunson can be neutralized by the URI back court depth. Stanford Robinson is also an elite defender who tends to show up in big games.

I think Nova wins...heck #1 KP right? URI though could pull the upset close to home.

If they play I will be cheering like hell for the Rams. But I will not be holding my breath. ;)

Nebraska leads Ohio State by 1 in Columbus. James Palmer Jr (Miami transfer) is going OFF

 
Everything points to Purdue being a very legit title contender ATM. Maybe even the straight up favorite. I have only watched 4 full Purdue games. Man I just can't quite buy it yet. I may live to regret not taking them. :(

15 minutes? Antwoine Anderson gets 30, MAL might have done a lot better than 15. ... He had a good (for him) shooting night against Nova, 1-3.

Yeah you’re right I wonder what ed Cooley told him ... cuz if he told him he’s going to hand over the keys day 1 or said you have to earn ya mins .. don’t see why he went there, now maybe next year a different story but time will tell

Even with Cartwright gone from next year, I think its likely Maliek White gets the starting nod over MAL...
