Big East in the NCAA Tournament

[SJUalum98]

Wasn't Ochefu dunking all over our guards at MSG?

Now he's playing so soft.

Again, the NC guards are too fast for Nova and with the last travel call it may be time for taps.

Who is this Abu kid? We could could have used him.

We recruited him I believe

We absolutely did just look at my avatar and see him with my younger son at a tournament in Boston just prior to his senior season.

Not the thread for it but the staff hasn't pushed hard enough to get recruits to commit in the early signing period. That's why we scramble in the Spring.

Back to the game- Nova is a tough team. I think Hillard will come through in the clutch.

I sure hope so. But every time Nova scores, NC State answers.

 

[redmaninalbany]

Hillard really didn't shoot enough considering

 

[TonyinFairfield]

Game over. Nova will go down. I heard one ESPN Big East hater, I forget who it was, say that NC State would beat Nova.

(Hoping this post is premature!)

 

[redmaninalbany]

Well he did that time...
He cuts it to 2
One man effort

 

[SJUalum98]

Game is far from over.
NC State can't shoot.

Let's see how it goes before throwing dirt on Nova.

That's Abu. Pretty cool.

Unfortunately, I think we can now pick up the shovels.

 

[SJUalum98]

Ugh!

What a disappointment.

Nova again going out early is a disgrace with the team they have. State making them look bad. Johnnies laid it all out on the floor yesterday but Nova team didn't. If they didn't hit 20+ free throws while missing only 2 it would have been a blow out. Again not even a sweet 16

 

[Andrew]

Nova is going to miss Hilliard. Some great shots. Too bad it won't be enough.

 

[SJUalum98]

Refs give teams free timeouts with all these stupid reviews.

They do it on purpose.

 

[redmaninalbany]

Nova found Hilliard was their answer too late. Nova missed its chance and the Big East gets a little less big

 

[mattc]

Awful, awful job by Villanova two years in a row now. Just pathetic.

 

[salty dog]

Bilas , Vitale et al from ESPN all thought Nova was a fraud and not worthy of number 1 and State would beat them, Sorry to say they were right.

 

[TonyinFairfield]

Fire Wright!

 

[Moose]

Big East again letting down.

The confernce beats each other up all season and come tournament time they fizzle

LOL at the Nova girl playing the flute while crying.
