Of all the opposing team fans, you start the weirdest threads.

4>3

Fair point, allow me a rebuttal. 2 of our 3 are all timers, The 85 "perfect game" against Patrick Ewing and Georgetown to deny them back to back chips and the 2016 "Jenkins for the championship". I argue including style points, we're even, at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm also a biased Nova homer, so sue me.

 

[Waquoit]

Didn't they have to retouch that photo, like The Last Waltz? Anyway, is this game really on prime-time network TV or is that a typo?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I never even realized he was a Nova fan hahaha

Prime time. Truth is UConn vs Villanova is now the best rivalry in the BE and biggest TV draw.

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

They don’t ask you how, they ask you how many.

 

[Chief00]

So they have won one more than Tyler Olander. He did it over 4 years, Villanova did it over about 35 years.

 

[UConnDad]

A couple fellow early risers on here. Go Huskies!

 

[Umami Zen]

Best place for cheese steaks around Wells Fargo Center??

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.

You're assuming they sleep

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

 

[Hey Adrien!]

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

On the plus side, because it's Nova, he never runs the risk of going full B12 Kobe.

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

 

[Kolumbo]

Hey villanova, here comes UCONN
Headin' down to win some jawn
I know a little somethin', I watched Creed
Navy Flag Blue is what we bleed
Cheesesteak sandwich when in Philly
A few IPAs and gettin' silly
Huskies winnin' out for a higher seed
Spellin' it out for ya'll to read

 

[ElGreco]

They don’t ask you how, they ask you how many.

When the announcers and record books speak about numbers there are no asterisks - I’ll take 4 please

 

[ElGreco]

Spot on! Show me a man that takes 3 over 4 because I have a bridge I’d like to sell

Save your money. Stop at any 7-11 and pick up a pack of Amoroso's rolls, take 'em home and make your own steak sandwiches. It's the rolls in Philthy that make them, and Amoroso's are fantastic.

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

Update is they still aren't making the tournament

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.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

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.
