Week of 3/4/24 Other Games

[August_West]

Real physical half.

 

[auror]

I like Nova over 67 and Northwestern +9.5 tonight.

Need to stick this to my forehead.

 

[87Xfer]

Went and saw a local college BB game last night for the first time in a while. Saw the local boys, Ft Lewis Skywawks (top-10 DII team - they were #2 last week) eke out a conference tourney win. Tiny gym, but it was a blast.

On one hand, I want the Big East to get more teams in the tournament. On the other hand, it is a lot of fun to watch Villanova blow it with one of the 10-15 most talented teams in the country.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Houston bigs just not jumping screens on D like they normally do. Kelvin has quite a job ahead of him with their depth issues.

 

[aceboon]

If Tennessee keeps winning and with their chances at resume building wins in the SEC tourney it's gonna put pressure on the current #1 seeds to keep winning to hold their spot.

 

[uconngb]

@kobe will be O.K. with it. He says he's used to close losses.

Actually, he’s built for them

 

[storrsroars]

Damn, a Nova player went down in the same spot just a play before Kadary went down. Hope he's OK.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

J’Wan Roberts has a taped up wrist and has been grimacing a lot during this game. If he has to sit out or isn’t at full health, Houston is in full blown disaster mode.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I say it every time I watch SHU, but Holloway is an excellent coach. You switch the coaches of these two teams and Villanova is 23-6 going into this game.

If Jay Wright coached this team Villanova would be a big problem
We would not be talking about the Big East being top heavy with 3 teams but rather with 4 teams.

Hate to say it but Nova has a less than 5% chance of getting over 67

This was Neptune's chance, he has nobody coming in for next season and they lose everyone other than Mark Armstrong who is disappointing, Longino who is disappointing and Hausen.

Nova has to go out there and get the best coach available in the country.

 

[auror]

Villanova has scored 18 points in the last 23 minutes of game time.

 

[superjohn]

Hausen is an unreal shooter, Hurley and staff would do so well with him.

 

[gsmooth]

This game just got interesting.
@auror - OT is your best hope for Nova going over 67

 

[auror]

Villanova has scored 18 points in the last 23 minutes of game time.

They scored 11 points in the next 2 minutes.

Auror is a pretty smart guy. I suspect he has moved on from this bet.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Aaand now Ja’vier Francis turned his ankle and is down. Houston can’t catch a break.

 

[REB1094]

The angry fan next to the broadcasters is more entertaining than the game

 

[gsmooth]

@Hey Adrien! - Damn CCSU down by 5 at home vs 8 seeded to St Francis

 

[superjohn]

Donny is a clown, just again said Holloway deserves Big East COY.

 

[REB1094]

Villanova missed 2 layups and 2 wide open threes down the stretch, looks like Seton Hall will pull it out.

Nova will be 17-13 with only 1 game left against Creighton. Might not make it anymore

If Tennessee keeps winning and with their chances at resume building wins in the SEC tourney it's gonna put pressure on the current #1 seeds to keep winning to hold their spot.

The good news is that Arizona hasn't beaten a team that's projected into the tournament in 2024.

Colorado has a chance, I guess, but that would be it. I don't see how Arizona jumps any of the Top 3, and so I don't see how Tennessee displaces them. Tennessee will likely get that 4th one seed which Arizona frankly has no right to.

I think they can take Creighton at home. Dixon is a tough matchup for the way Creighton likes to play defense with Kalkbrenner in drop coverage.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Donny is a clown, just again said Holloway deserves Big East COY.

I feel like he doesn’t believe a lot of the things he says on a broadcast. He’s just never really prepared and has a propensity to blurt things out to fill airtime.
