Welcome to Philly

@Zissou: I’m working in the updated scouting report for Nova. Any recent insights?

Update is they still aren't making the tournament

Best place for cheese steaks around Wells Fargo Center??

There's also supposedly a great roast pork place around there too.

Tommy Dinics for the roast pork in Reading Terminal. Skip the cheesesteaks.

Second DiNic’s but if ya can’t get up into Center City, John’s Roast Pork (E. Snyder Ave) is closer and very solid. Check hours on a Saturday.

In the last 22 seasons, 6 championships were won by programs that split their games between on campus and off campus facilities. Thoughts?

I wouldn't close the book on Nova making the tournament.

Not a difficult thing to figure out

Are they a dark horse, sure. Is Jay Wright walking through that door, nope. I'll take my chances

Funny thing about this GIF is the Red Sox ended up winning this game.

No, the funny thing about the gif is that it encapsulates how perfectly Chief knocked that response out of the park.

John’s is better than dnics. Both are fantastic

People would have no issues splitting between the XL and Gampel if the XL was an NBA arena with NBA level amenities

They would’ve won more and they only played all the games on campus?

And if the lease rate was reasonable.

 

[aburks41]

And if the lease rate was reasonable.

I was just speaking from a fan experience. But yeah, that too.

Ok, Mr. Style Points. If that’s how we’re doing it.

1999 was also an all-timer
2011 was the greatest 11-game run in the history of the sport
2014, UConn literally knocked out Nova on the way to the title
Oh, and in 2004, we had Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon. They weren’t bad.

Advantage: UConn.

Let’s also not forget that the 2014 beat 4, 3, 2 (Nova), and overall #1 seeds on the way to the NC game.

I'm gonna need a ChatGPT poem about this before this thread really hits for me.

UConn and Villanova, two teams with great skill
Their players, well known, with a talent to thrill
The Huskies have Jordan Hawkins, their star on the court
While Justin Moore leads Villanova, a player of great report

The crowd is electric, the atmosphere intense
As the game begins, with a fierce and focused sense
Hawkins and Moore, they fight for the ball
And Sanogo and Dixon, they give it their all

The Wildcats, they move, with a grace like no other
And UConn, they strike, with a power like thunder
Cam Whitmore, he leads the charge
But Sanogo and Clingan, they'll give it their hardest

The clock is ticking, the tension is high
As each team fights, with a determined battle cry
The fans are cheering, with all of their might
As the players push on, into the night

UConn and Villanova, two great teams of pride
Their rivalry fierce, but their respect cannot be denied
When the game is over, they'll shake hands with grace
For in this great game, it's not just the win they chase.

I agree that 2011 NCAA championship game was a rock fight but who cares? Still a championship and not many people will remember details of the game. And as mentioned, a great and unlikely 11-game run. Nobody who saw the Pitt game will ever forget Kemba's ankle breaker either.

This is why fox wanted Uconn…Uconn vs Villanova Saturday night prime time… tv ratings though the roof

 

[nadav]

The real question that the OP has previously posed is, who has the better post season outlook? Uconn or Nova. It's a total coin flip.

XL has better banners.

Hey now you guys are threatening my safe space, as I identify as 3=4. Or maybe I'm just 3 times smarter than your typical Syr-excuse fan who thinks 1=4.

This is all tongue in cheek, I hope that is coming in loud and clear. As my user name suggest I'm here as a friend/enemy, lurked here for a long time. Visits increased dramatically since news of your return, signed up last season to express our mutual feelings about PeeCee fans.

 

[Northbound]

Am i really reading that someone is advocating for style or perceived “importance” over actual wins?

How deluded does one have to be to have that thought and not immediately say “that might be the dumbest thing ever” and then if having that thought wasn’t enough willing outing yourself as a dope by stating it publicly.

Another reminder for folks do not say everything you think, better to leave people wondering if you’re dope than remove all doubts.

 

[Frenemy]

Humor and sarcasm some people just don't get I guess

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Guys.. it's a joke. Relax.
