George Mason giving Villanova some trouble...

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

35-27, though it's still early (0:27 left in 1st Half).  My question is who I'm supposed to be rooting for at this point in the season.  Am I supposed to be upset because we need the Big East to look as strong as possible, or thrilled because it looks like there's parity in the Big East and Marquette might have a chance against 'Nova at the BC?

We want all of our opponents to win all of their games except for when they play MU.  That will make us look far better when we whup them.

37-28 at half. Wow, Nova's shooting 30%.

[Lighthouse 84]

George Mason 49 - Villanova 44 with just under 12 minutes to play

[downtown85]

GMU still up by 2 with about 1 minute to go.  A complete foul fest. 3 Nova  and 2 Mason players have fouled out. 

[MU B2002]

Down 3,

Cheek just clanked 2 freebies.

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

Nova hits the 3 -- GMU by 1 with 42 seconds left.

[Freeport Warrior]

Thanks for the update.  Just went in the conference room to check out the last 50 seconds. Nova just hit a 3 to cut it to one.

[Freeport Warrior]

Nova up 1.   That 3 took balls. And a freshman.

[Lighthouse 84]

and nova wins...

[Freeport Warrior]

Nova wins by a 3 taken by a freshmen -- his first collegiate points because all of the other bigs fouled out.  George Mason didn't even get a shot off and they had 11 seconds left. Tough D, good save. Is the BE still undefeated?

[Warrior97]

Is the BE still undefeated?

Yes.  combined record of 30-0

[nyg]

Nova's Cory Fisher shoots 1 for 14 from the field, yet is 14 for 18 at the line.  Good grief....

[spartan3186]

Yes.  combined record of 30-0

Tough one coming tonight with "cuse and Cal at the garden

Don't know how it will end, but after 8 minutes the Cuse is looking good.  They have some talented bigmen and of course Deshonte Riley is riding the bench.  He would have helped us.  Even without Johnnie Flynn, they got some players.

Wesley Johnson is going to be a force this year.

Edit: I really enjoy listening to Bobby Knight. Not only does he know the game very well, he is not boisterous at all and just gets his point across, and of course he is hilarious. Just listening to him describe the refs with the replay was great.

[OhioGoldenEagle]

Have to agree about Bob Knight......his honesty is very refreshing.  I completely forgot about Riley.  Syracuse is deep enough with bigs so it's no surprise he's not starting.  Yes, he could be getting a lot of min's at MU, but he sounds like he may have some baggage so I don't get upset over losing him.

Syracuse up 20, 72-52 with 8:42 to play. 

Yes, Wes Johnson looks good and is going to give us trouble.  Triche, the frosh PG, looks solid too.
