Boy, bad things keep happening to Nova in Buffalo.

Went to Thursday's games, wore my 2014 championship hat ... No one said anything but I noticed a few cross eyed looks from Philly fan.

I feel bad, now that whole area hates my city even more, but that '14 win was wellllllll worth it.

And btw, I chose to leave my house nova up 7, def didn't think it was over but I took my chances, and my horrid luck/cosmic energy gave you guys the best game so far.

The second the radio went on in my car, I hear "7-0 run ties this game!!!" And i knew then and there, me leaving will produce a great finish.

 

[superjohn]

Bad things happen (more often than not) to non-P5 teams vs P5 teams.

Care to explain?

 

[BugsyCT]

lol that look is priceless. Loved that shot by Bazz.

 

[mauconnfan]

Nice win congrats to Badgers. Hayes played his sack off and Keonig did what he's done before. Good for them. I have eh huh......Duke to win the East so that's ok.

Bad news on a pay every game pool I had 6-2 and if he made that FT and they missed their 3 on the other end I would have had 2 bills - crap!

 

[BugsyCT]

Care to explain?

Do I need to?

 

[storrsroars]

Nova returns to being Nova.

Very tough draw getting wisconsin though, they are better than there seed and very experienced.

Four consecutive Sweet 16s for Wisky. That's hard to do.

Do I need to?

That was a well officiated game. If any gripe I thought Nova got a few calls.

Wasn't implying that Nova got screwed by calls. Thought it was a clean game too.

Just was making a general comment that P5 schools generally find ways to beat non-P5 schools in this tourney even when they're lower seeds.

 

[Jaker]

Northwestern feel good story coming to end quickly in this one.

The NCAA doesn't invite many non-P5 teams and when they do it seems more often than not they are matched up in the first round like Wichita State vs. Dayton, St. Mary's vs. VCU, Creighton vs. URI. Nova did okay for a non P5 last year and in 2014 we did okay as a non P5.

Well I was wrong in thinking NW would beat Gonzaga.

 

[TRest]

NW looks like an 8 seed in the NIT.

 

[BugsyCT]

Zags are too big & too good for NWstern.

 

[Jaker]

The only thing holding back the Zags is Few

 

[kobe]

Norwood U looks good against Florida State. Up 11 right now.

I'm in Italy so I haven't watched a single second of the tournament but other than SMU choking and the AAC getting embarrassed, I'm surprised to see the BE coughing up a lung. All those teAms are going down and only Butler and Xavier are left. Not much mention about the BE choke job so far.

Which is why I never pick them to go past the EE

Coaching becomes paramount after the first weekend

Cincy won. If they knock off UCLA it would save some face for the AAC.

 

[superjohn]

Northwestern has it down to single digits all of a sudden and Zags are looking tight as usual.

 

[BugsyCT]

That poor NWstrn kid crying in the stands is gonna be subjected to instant memeing.

 

[boog204]

That poor NWstrn kid crying in the stands is gonna be subjected to instant memeing.

Was just going to ask if they said that is someone "important..." I assumed it was Collins kid, because, well he's got Dukie b&&&h written all over him.

 

[superjohn]

Bad technical by Collins.

 

[superjohn]

Holy hell, the refs are brutal.

 

[kobe]

Even as person who enjoys laughing at children, CBS really need to stop showing that kid. It's not right.

 

[intlzncster]

Holy hell, the refs are brutal.

Same thing I was thinking. I would think it's cooked if I didn't know they were so incompetent.

How the duck__k do you not see the guys whole arm go through the net.
