Watching the Nova ST. Johns game and I swear I heard the announcers say that Lavin voted for
Jay Wright for COY???? How many McDonalds all americans does Nova have? Were they not picked to finnish
ahead of us in the preseason ranking? How could anyone vote for Wright? What am I missing? Are they Buds?

But, Nova does have a ton of talent. Have underachieved for last 2 seasons until early February, 2013.

Well, at least we know who Mike Brey voted for to win the championship.
10-8 conference record hardly equals COY?

No doubt, what a effing joke. So moving a team from bad projections to average finish warrants BE COY?!? Dumb. See Buzz Williams 2009 if that's the case, much better job.

Yep. Underachieve with a bunch of talent, finally do better with lowered expectations and it gets COY consideration? Righhht.

Worked very well last season with Stan Heath.
