Gavitt Games Thread

[MarquetteDano]

Well if this continues the away team has won each game of the Gavitt Games so.....

[Class71]

The 'Nova game makes our game with Indiana all that more important for the BE. May be a very painful night.

[forgetful]

This is not what I expected from these two teams.  Is Nova not as good as we thought without brunson spellman and divincenzo?

WTF.  Didn't expect this when I turned on the game.  44-17?  Insane.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Maybe we are the best team in the conference

I just saw the score and thought it was a typo. I know it's just one game in November, but yikes!

New pieces at Nova not like the old pieces.......at least not yet.

60% and 1 turnover for Michigan........don't think Wright forgot how to coach in a few months so it must be the players.

Nova 24% and 10 turnovers

Basketball is a funny game .....you recruit a bunch of highly rated guys who can shoot and then they get completely dominated at home by a Michigan team that lost 3 starters.

Just never know until you know.

Serves me right for listening to Gus Johnson......

No matta......point still stands.....one team is getting whatever they want......one team ain't getting nothing.

Yikes.  Big East is WAY down this year, as we all thought.  Yet it appears its going to be even worse than anticipated. Wonder if by season's end we'll be better than Pac 12 or AAC?

On the plus side, this was all part of the Golden Power Point and 5-year plan!

This game is so bad that Raff isn't even calling the game anymore.  He's interviewing a big Nova donor instead.

I guess it isn't scoop unless someone way overreacts to any event.

Do not blaspheme oh slapper of floors. The most holy of power points predicting a new Golden Age for the Big East which has been realized with the conquest by the Villanovans. Year 5 is for competing for the league title, not winning it. That most glorious of miracles isn't prophesied until year 6. So it was presented so it shall be!

Maybe we should consider waiting until we play our own first real game of the season before deciding we might be way better off than Nova, Xavier, etc.

Early season, November basketball means very little.  Let's keep in mind that in December 2015 Oklahoma ran Nova out of the gym to the tune of a 23 point win.  What happened 4 months later in the Final Four?  Oh yeah, Nova beat Oklahoma by 44.  Teams that are replacing their 3-4 best players (Xavier, Nova) might look ugly in a November game.  Respect the process, they'll look much better come Big East play.

[MuMark]

Who said we were way better?

You are right.....we could get rolled tonight.....we have had many good teams suffer blow out losses.

Including 1 in the final 4 iirc.......

All I was saying is it's going to take some time for this Nova team.......not just going to reload after all they lost.

Even with Jay Wright......

[forgetful]

Nova with way too much dribbling.  They are not moving the ball around like usual Nova teams.  Seems to lack an obvious leader at this point. 

I'm sure someone will step up.

Pretty sure they will be doing a lot of running tomorrow.

[MuMark]

Pretty amazing streak about to end

I swear there were 8 minutes left in this game 25 minutes ago

[MUEng92]

I will give the Villanova crowd credit. Down this much and I see 3 open seats

[rocket surgeon]

  gotta be a lot of 2 fisted sloppers there ein'a?

[wadesworld]

Are we still better than Nova?

[MarquetteDano]

Well Big Ten is 4-1 at this point.  With 3 left,  I would be shocked if Big Ten does not win at least one.  So the floor is probably 5-3 for the Big Ten. 

[Mr. Nielsen]

Creighton once down 12 making a run on Ohio State. Tied at 48.

[MarquetteDano]

Assuming OSU wins this, Big Ten now 5-1.  Yeesh.  Have to save some face now at least win the last two.

[Mr. Nielsen]

13-0 run to end the game for Ohio State.
