64-62 under four to go.
Wow, two awful turnovers at crunch time for S Florida.
Whatever happens, NO OT!!
i'll take OT...(stuck in class till 9)
Nova pulling a Marquette down the stretch.
Wow.
Feels kind of familiar... Not... sure... why...
Yikes!
Unbelievable.
Jay Wright should be fired...
This game is awesome.
EDIT: Weak foul call to bail nova out. Wow.
In other news, Bilas et al. have had great things to say about MU.
Have to love every game in the BE tournament. Every one is awesome.
Hope that got the major upset bugaboo out of the way!

Nova pulling a Marquette down the stretch.
Up 16 at half, the two missed front ends (after making 20 in a row), the lazy lob inbound pass and no defense on that last drive. Terrible.......
Wow, tip your hat to usf, they showed up. Shows what you can do when you have a real solid frontcourt.
USF wins by 1!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!
WHAT. A. GAME.
Wow, great game! Hats off to USF for hanging around and taking advantage of Nova lapses.
Well done Bulls!
And they held Villanova to 20 points in the second half.
Does a MU win send villanova to the nit?
Five losses in a row for Nova!

A week ago, I alluded to NOVA problems, and gave a rundown of their February woes, in the superbar, ....see:
http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=24927.0
I wonder if NOVA practices free throws? They were 18 of 18 at one point, but them missed critical front ends of 1-1's. Additionally, I wonder if the guy who made the bone headed inbounds pass that resulted in the basket that put USF for the first time was a JUCO? Clearly not a traditional with a great basketball IQ. Furthermore, what kind of defense was that NOVA played on their last defensive possesion..a clear path to the basket for a layup??
Jay Wright apparently has forgotten how to coach. Though once a Final Four and Elite Eight caliber coach, he clearly is suffering from Alzheimer's as he's unable to cocah his players on how to make free throws and inbounds passes properly.
Rumor has it Jay Wright will be the next coach of Texas Tech.

We can only hope our game tips off soon, or I see this thread spiraling out of control.

Yup, like bait on the end of a hook.

Hey, don't you know that Villanova played the toughest schedule in their school history?
Back off, because Jay Wright has done a tremendous job this year with ZERO holdovers left him by Steve Lappas.

That's right 84 - I forgot Jay Wright is in his 10th year at Nova and Buzz in Year 3. Apples to Apples comparison for sure. My bad.
Ners, I think you missed one 84's few attempts at humor. Maybe I'm wrong on that though.

Good point, 84's humor attempts are so few and far between...that I'm not even sure if he was kidding. As I think about it, I don't think he was...
