Friday Sweet Sixteen Games

[Scoe]

Dumb your up 12.

 

[the Q]

Great block there. Huge play

 

[KembaSlice]

Hearing Grant Hill on the CBS coverage refer to Cuse as a blue blood makes me want to puke. Must be all those Helm trophies they have

 

[Scoe]

The monitor again lol.

There is som kind of Coach K-Bohiem conspiracy going on, I am convinced.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

The monitor again lol.

I HATE HATE HATE the effects all these reviews and replays have on the hoops endgame & vibe. Totally deflates the energy in the building

This is how you recruit and coach basketball. Jay Wright and Nova recruiting class rankings:

From 247
2015 - 29
2014 - 48
2013 - 36
2012 - 27

From ESPN
2015 - 24
2014 - 37
2013 - 31
2012 - >25

That team is Villanova. Those classes led to a NC. They are currently a 1 seed. Their 2016 class rankings were 45 and 33 respectively.

 

[Scoe]

Maybe the refs should go to the monitor again, just to double check and triple check to make sure their is 43.9 left.

 

[UCDaveD]

Phew. I was never worried

 

[Jaker]

The only team that keeps Nova from winning the NC is probably Loyola and that is only because they clearly have God on their side.

 

[Scoe]

Lets go back to the monitor again.

 

[intlzncster]

Phew. I was never worried

I called it. Nova by 10+

I mean, depends on how you define blue bloods. UCLA-Kentucky-UNC-Duke-Kansas-Indiana are that upper echelon. Any level beyond that--UConn-Michigan State-Michigan-Syracuse-Louisville-Arizona-Villanova--gets debatable. But Syracuse is in that conversation.

 

[Kemba429]

Here at TD, great environment, better game. Sad to see a gritty player like Carter go out like that but great game none the less.

One Shining Moment will be literal. After Loyola wins - Jesus himself comes and takes Sister Jean to heaven.

It’s just one day off the Good Friday/Easter nexus.

 

[Scoe]

Bagley is a beast.

 

[Jaker]

watch dook lay an egg, f'ers

 

[Rocktheworld]

I really think they took a page out of 2014 Uconn.

Lol plenty of Nova’s roster has first hand knowledge of what a championship team looks like

 

[whaler11]

Jennifer Garner and Captain Obvious is worse than a Kentucky/Duke final.

 

[whaler11]

And deport Reba for these stupid KFC commercials.

 

[Scoe]

Lol the current Nova seniors (and last year’s juniors) have first hand knowledge of what a championship team looks like

I mean Jay Wright specifically, I think he has learned to become a better coach.

Yes, but the fact that hardly anyone wants to consider UConn a blue blood and referring to Cuse as one is what grinds my gears. 4 > 1

 

[Hurleyman216]

I don’t see anyone beating Nova at this point the way they’re playing. This is their tournament to lose as long as Brunson is playing for them...

 

[Rocktheworld]

I mean Jay Wright specifically, I think he has learned to become a better coach.

ASweet’s first good take of their posting history was an observation that these recent Nova teams finally learned to rip an opposing team’s throat out

Gotta wonder what they/Wright did to turn that corner. Maybe 10 years of coming so close finally did it

 

[Jaker]

LOL K calls his defense "orange"

 

[tzznandrew]

I mean, we're essentially Indiana, if Indiana had done anything in 30 years.

If they're blue bloods, so are we.

But I take your point.

What are the benefits of being a ‘Blue Blood’?

Don McLean was strumming his gittar in Westwood the last time UCLA mattered.

(I know UCLA was good after that but I wanted to type gittar).

 

[Rocktheworld]

Orange you glad you’ve already faced this gimmick defense twice already this season?

We're one awful coached inbounds defensive set from this basically being true anyway.

 

[Jaker]

Cuse is going to win this game, book it
