As I watched Nova-UNC game I thought to myself that Villanova looked like Villanova, which is good for Big East. With Dixon and Moore they’re a very good team. Butler and Seton Hall lost but they looked better than I thought they were. Creighton looked very bad. They lack speed, quickness and athleticism. Kaluma and Nembhard would have helped in those areas. They’ll still be ok but may struggle against good athletic teams that defend. So far Marquette and UCONN look like teams to beat. Nova and Creighton next tier. I think the top 7-8 teams are all capable of beating each other. Going to be an exciting year for the Big East. BET should be great this year.

Damn, Creighton loss showing that BE is wide open after top two. Not sold on Nova (obviously as I say we finish ahead of them) so the sky is the limit for CRP
Many of us are even older and still waiting, until now I guess
That's the issue with any team, don't shoot, can't win, no matter who you are playing. But that margin...Jeez...

Agree that Nova is back. They win many close games at the free throw line. Yesterday were 32 of 36 at the line in win over UNC. Have to defend without fouling them. I would put them above Creighton for third slot in the Big East.
Nova looks very good today but it's early against Memphis...
'Nova will have to collapse like a house of cards to lose this game. They're up 44-16 at the half.
Nova looked pretty darn good yesterday beating UNC.
Those that dismissed Villanova as a contender after its loss to UPenn were wrong. Dixon is a man among boys.
This Villanova team will contend for the Big East title.
Nova doing it's best to prove me wrong, they are on fire.
100% not sold on him yet.
21 0 run by Memphis but probably too little too late!
