We’re all pulling for Villanova right!?

Do you think Duke fans root for Carolina when they’re in the final four? It’s some weird “little brother” stuff I can’t get behind.

Yeah but nova isn’t Carolina for us. If it was uva v Kansas they’d prob go uva.

I’m not sure the point you’re making. But there are more than enough people rooting for Villanova on this board. A couple people hoping they get whooped shouldn’t be that big a deal.

I tend to think that the Big East is endangered given the landscape of college sports. It's always endanger of dropping a class to the top 3 or 4 conferences.

This is why Nova doing well is important. When Jay Wright leaves, UConn better have its act together because the league will need someone to be that nationally dominant team. They won't replace Wright overnight, if at all.

I don't worry about that as much anymore. I think the Big East is perfectly suited to co-exist at a high level with the other major conferences. There is enough talent out there to recruit well. Another thing is that the Big East is the only league with a stronghold of the Northeast which is a region traditionally weak in College football (at least post IVY league dominance). In other words - Rutgers, BC and Syracuse are not enough to capture the entire Northeast region.

I wasn’t saying it was a big deal, just that I don’t see the little brother angle

Mmm not really. I don’t hate Duke or like Duke, but the #1 thing I want out of this FF is Carolina not to win it all. #2 is Duke not winning it all. I will pull for Nova to win it all as it helps the Big East even though the downside is that they tie UConn with 4 titles. I don’t want Kansas tying UConn with 4 titles, but it’s at least palpable for me. Whoever wins Nova-Kansas is the team I hope wins it all. If Houston had come out of Nova’s region or Zona, either one of those teams would be my favorite in this FF
 
Definitely not.

Easy rooting interests for tonight should be Kansas and North Carolina.
 
Big East success helps UConn. I am tired of explaining this to people.

Villanova is toast, and I will cheese grater my cojones before I will watch a game between any combination of Duke, Kansas and UNC.

I would root for Nova if they had 2 titles and not 3. How anyone would want them to tie us in titles is beyond me. Same for Kansas. Hubert Davis seems like a good guy too so I’ll “root” for UNC.
Expand ...
Plus, while both KU and Nova would tie UConn in titles, Self would not tie Calhoun, but Wright would.
 
I wonder if they will call a foul on Kansas at some point or Kansas can just bludgeon Villanova players with impunity for the rest of the game.
 
Nova winning 2 more games to win a title now determines whether UConn can recruit & develop the guards/wing players needed for it's own success. This board is comedy.

Samuels Jr. got the Craig Ehlo treatment.
 
Think KU's got this. Nova doesn't have enough to counter McCormack's size.
 
I really didn’t want this to be as close as it’s going to be. Not the way Villanova shoots FTs.

If conference doesn't matter then why didn't UConn stay in the AAC? This must by why all those NEC teams have made Final Fours.

This has been - so far- the best officiated game Ive seen this year
Nova is doing a lot of reaching in and slapping that is going uncalled

Kansas was a mortal lock to win this game before the opening tip.

When you can find where I said "conference doesn't matter" in my post we can continue the conversation, until then...

And Samuel's gets to lower his shoulder twice and the they call a touch foul against Kansas.

It's so obvious when the Nova ayers lower their shoulder and push off in the post, yet they get away with it.

Yeah the idea that the refs are stealing this from Villanova is straight up lunacy.
 
It's all about keeping Nova & Kansas away from title # 4 for me. So UNC over Kansas is best case scenario at this point with Nova done.

Really Nelson? People are hoping that certain teams and coaches don't catch up with UConn and JC
Has nothing to do with anti NBE
Anyone but Duke number 1
Don't want Jay and Nova to tie JC and UConn number 2
Kansas can win but there is a chance that it will be vacated - have to hope
UNC - cheater cheater but Davis is one of the good guys

Never said that.

What I said is Noba does this all the time and gets away with it every game.

I applaud them for doing it. Make the refs make the call.
 
Wright only playing 7 tonight, doesn't bode well for his confidence in his other players. Sheesh.

The idea that you would say a poster said something they didn't say as part of a cheap shot was a 100% certainty.
