I agree Lawman. Line 11.5, if they keep this game under 10 that's a good night all things considered. I think there's an outside chance that we might be able to keep it close and steal it at the end because we do match up well with them but to do that we are going to have to shoot well from three. We need Earlington to have one of his good Earlington games, Cole to shoot well from 3 and we need to get something from GWill. I think Posh and Dunn will bounce back.

If nothing else, I'm thankful it's an 8 o'clock rather than 9 o'clock start and I'm sure BJR shares that sentiment. 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Absolutely right on NC, I am very happy but would be even happier with a 7PM, or 7:30 PM start time (on second thought DeP was 7:30, scratch that idea).

Here's my hope (not a prediction). DeP was a bit of an aberration for some of our better players. Confidence is there against Wildcats. Johnnies didn't eke out a victory last time we beat them handily.

So, we play almost as good as we played the last time, Nova plays much better and it is a tight contest, with us winning by an eyelash.

The Land of Hope and Dreams as Bruce sang.

we can go from winning 7 of last 9 to losing 3 of the last 4. changes the narrative pretty quickly. Just from history, i wouldn't be surprised if we won or lost our remaining games. Fortunately we match up well with Nova. Gotta bring our A game. 
 
Unfortunately, I have a feeling Swider comes up big tonight. Hope I'm wrong. OTOH, I think Cole has a good game for us tonight.
 
Going on record and saying we come out victorious tonight.  The season and tourney chances get a huge boost tonight.  Will be a completely different narrative after this game from the last. 
 
Look no way does nova plays as bad as the first game,we have to play as good as the first to have any chance
 
I took the over. 152 points. I think we'll bounce back offensively.

History may not repeat itself but let's not diminish our role in Nova's performance. The kids dominated them.
And, while Nova is a very good team, they are not a great team and certainly not a physically imposing team. More finesse than physical

The assumption is that their PG will play much better, but if Posh gets in his head early it could definitely affect their entire team. There's only one team I don't think we can beat, and it's not Villanova. I'll hope for the best, and if we come out fired up I think we can pull it off.
