Villanova-Seton Hall

[Norm]

Tied at the half, 32-32. Pirates already have 8 3-pointers!

[Norm]

Nova 49-48...8 minutes left...good game...don't we need Nova to pull this out to help with RPI, or does it not matter?

[Tugg Speedman]

Nova 49-48...8 minutes left...good game...don't we need Nova to pull this out to help with RPI, or does it not matter?

Since we played both I don't think it matters.

[MUMountin]

Since we played both I don't think it matters.

Seton Hall counts almost double for our RPI, since we played them twice, and Nova only once.

That said, from a longer term perspective, I want Nova to win to help solidify their NCAA tourney resume--want as many of the C7 doing well before we break off and negotiate TV contracts as possible.  While Seton Hall is also C7, they are obviously done for the season--so don't pop Nova's bubble. 

Nova up 60-55, 4:00 left.

Game on , 9 sec left steal and a 3 for SH

[Norm]

Holy cow! SH up 1 with 8.9 to play.

[Tugg Speedman]

OMG ... Nova absolutely threw this game away.

Nova is up by two with 10 seconds, could not get the ball inbounded clean, lost it and SH hits a 3 pointer with 8.9 seconds to win.

[MUMountin]

Holy cow! SH up 1 with 8.9 to play.

Crazy ending.  Might have burst 'novas bubble.

[Norm]

Nova better win out now...

[westcoastwarrior]

I thought a Syracuse victory... Nova loss guarantees us a top 4 finish....so this is good!

[muguru]

You saw this coming. Your classic letdown game.

[nyg]

That steal by Mayaan was just sick. Then he passed it while on the floor.  Great play. 

[Norm]

Mayaan also flopped and fooled the refs to get Pinkston fouled out of the game in a scrum for the ball with about 5 minutes left.

[RJax55]

That steal by Mayaan was just sick. Then he passed it while on the floor.  Great play. 

A great, great play. His d on the final play was terrific as well.

[chapman]

Terrible depleted team, that arena with all three fans in attendance, and only an hour and a half bus ride to get there.  Now that is a crappy road loss. 

[77ncaachamps]

The Pirates can make it rain!

[muwarrior97]

Glad we got out of Hall's quiet gym w/a W, these 3-shooting teams can easily get one by getting hot....60%+ spells squeaker win vs Nova, aka Bad Loss

[muwarrior69]

The difference between us and NOVA is that we win the games we should. Hope Nova does well as it bodes well for the BE7.

[chapman]

Lunardi dropped them a couple spots but still has them in the last four in (second to last).  They can do us, them, and the C7 a big favor by winning a week from Wednesday vs. Georgetown.
