Are We All Nova Fans Tonight?

[Tugg Speedman]

If Nova can pull it off tonight (hosting Georgetown) it would be epic!

[Oldgym]

Learning the 'cats fight song.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Yes we are. 

[SonofPianoMan]

AMEN...

[chapman]

Of course.  For our place in the standings, and for the C7's sake we need a win tonight and one in the BET to feel good about their tournament chances.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Hopefully this is somewhat of a trap game for GT with the excitement of one final regular season game against Syracuse on the horizon.

If the Hoya don't paranoia tonight it will assuredly be down to an amazing performance by Nova. Like, 1985 amazing.

No shot a JTIII program, with a star like Otto on the epic run to the title they are on, will overlook tonight in favor of Saturday.

[DCWarriors04]

It is possible though...BEast Championship is there and they could be looking down the road to Saturday. Nova is desperate right now and is playing their last game of the season, 3 game losing streak to end the season doesn't look good on their tourney resume. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nova give Georgetown everything it has.

[dwaderoy2004]

I've seen Georgetown a lot this year (live in DC).  Frankly, they are not a top 5 team.  They're really good, but losing to a good team on the road would not be a huge surprise.  Vegas agrees, as they have Nova as a one point favorite right now.

[Golden Avalanche]

I'm not doubting the 'Cats can win. They've already beaten the other three good teams in the league.

I'm doubting the intimation that the Hoyas will be preoccupied with Saturday. JTIII and Otto won't allow a sloppy, unfocused, undisciplined performance.

[NotAnAlum]

As far as I'm concerned MU is playing Georgetown tonight.  Come on Nova!

They're so reliant on Porter. Lately, he's had to score a ton for them to win. One off night for him, and I think they drop one.

[Windyplayer]

This game will come down to the wire similar to the UCONN game last week. Hopefully, there's a different result. I'm little disappointed that the game isn't at the Pavilion, but then again, they beat UL and Cuse at Wells Fargo.  

[dwaderoy2004]

Agreed.  I honestly think they will drop their last two games and end up third.

[Windyplayer]

Agreed.  I honestly think they will drop their last two games and end up third.

God, that would be sweet.

[chapman]

Agreed.  I honestly think they will drop their last two games and end up third.

Can you have the same belief that UL will lose to ND as well?

[LAZER]

'Nova is a 1pt favorite

[dwaderoy2004]

Can you have the same belief that UL will lose to ND as well?

I could, but I'd be lying.  Think Louisville takes the 1 seed, but MU still shares the regular season title with them.  Probably just wishful thinking on Georgetown, but they play with a thin margin, and are facing two desperate teams.  And I've been to Georgetown-Cuse games in DC...the crowd is usually 60-40 in favor of Cuse.

I believe that is correct, but it delays MU meeting Louisville until Big East tournament final. I would like another crack at Georgetown.

[wardle2wade]

Obviously gotta root for Nova tonight.

We may as well Boiler Up as well tonight... Michigan is playing on the road at Purdue.  Although Mich is ranked far ahead of us in the polls, the gap over MU is much less when looking at sagarin/warrennolan/rpi.  Mich also has a tough game vs IU over the weekend... it would be nice to leapfrog them by Selection Sunday for pod and seeding considerations.

[TallTitan34]

I'm a big Villanova and Syracuse fan the rest of the regular season.

[mubb34]

In Jay Wright we trust!

Hell no! MU's seeding/placement will take care of itself...want Michigan to win tonight, and beat IU Saturday, and Ohio State to win @ home vs. Illinois Saturday. Obviously UW is going to lose in East lansing tomm night, so if those other things happen..UW will be the 5th seed in the B10 tourney and have to play Thursday. Sorry, I just hate them and their fans with a passion and any misery that can be put upon them, even if small, i root for.

Well that is kind of pathetic.
