Chasing Nova

[STJ11Redmen]

I hope you guys are right, but I think 20 wins only gets us a live look-in at sad faces on the selection show. We have some ugly losses, and no wins that would really grab the committee's attention.

Cincy falling apart has killed us, that had a chance to be a signature road win.

But UCONN improving has helped us at the same time

Dagger and one from Nova. They lead by five, 5 minutes to go.

 

[Jack Williams]

2:47 to go. Nova by 3. Pinkston just fouled out on a technichal foul which was a FLOP, one of thee worst i have ever seen. They migght change call, but regardless, game is going down to the wire.

damn I thought Fuquan was going to get that bucket to get them the lead

Dagger from Hilliard

Bad foul by Hilliard and he is out. FTs for SHU

 

[Jack Williams]

That hurts. Nova by 4. 19 seconds to go. SHU needs a quick bucket

 

[mjmaherjr]

holy shite !!!

 

[Jack Williams]

OOOOOOO! SHU steals it and knocks in a three, SHU leads by one!!!!

 

[STJ11Redmen]

Wow! What a turn of events!

 

[Jack Williams]

That could of just been the beginning of the end for Nova, and huge for us.

Wow. Maybe I'll drive up to providence after all

If we lost a game like that, this board would be radioactive.

Nova next two games:

@ PITT
VS GTOWN

VERY big chance Nova is looking at 9-9 in conference play and 18-13 on season. If we beat the Friars we are in very good shape

Great comeback by Seton Hall! I wonder what the Nova board will look like after this loss. I am guessing something like the St.Johns-Pitt thread from yesterday. I believe a certain Nova lover posted they were a lock to make the tournament and I warned him that it was certainly not a lock. They very well may lose out as I posted yesterday.

I still think 'Nova is getting in, regardless what we do. We're not fighting 'Nova for a spot. West Virginia and UConn recently got in with similar records.

Your probably right MJ but now there is a chance NOVA could lose out and make it harder for them to get in, which makes it easier for us to get in.

I don't think so. If we had the quality wins that Nova had against Syracuse etc. I think our fans would be more forgiving. Against the better teams in the conference , to date, we have not really been very competitive.

 

[mjmaherjr]

they said on the game that 95% of Big East teams with 10 wins makes the tourney.Not sure if that included BET wins

 

[rcatalano]

Lets hope that both SJU and Nova get into the tourney!!!
