If it’s a [vacated] vs. [vacated] final, I’m cheering for a sinkhole to engulf the Superdome

FIFY

So what you're saying is this is a total disaster?  The answer is you root hard for Nova and have faith that if they don't win, whoever does win, will have their title vacated.

None of these teams would have their title vacated.

None of these teams would have their title vacated.

Will the title be vacated - no.  Should it be - absolutely.  Of the four teams left, Nova is the only truly clean program.

Lol

What do you mean by "the only truly clean program?"  Are you talking about past violations that are no longer under investigation?  If so, how far in the past do we want to go because Nova has been under probation before.

Not everything is a purity test and no program is "truly clean."

Regardless my level of actually caring about this stuff has decreased tremendously over time.  Just give me a couple of good basketball games.

I think without Moore Nova really has their work cut out for them.  They have to find a way to shoot a solid percentage from downtown.

Sucks that they are also missing Jordan Longino, who was shut down for the year just before the tourney for arthroscopic knee surgery. They don't play many, but he got decent minutes during the course of the year and would certainly have been useful now. Really feel for Moore and the whole Nova program. So impressive what they do.

I get angry I don't live in a bubble this well constructed.

Hubert Davis is finally getting some credit -- not only for being an excellent motivator (his pre-game speeches already had garnered quite a bit of attention), but also for his strategic moves.

On a possession where they had to score, in a game they had to win, North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis called a play for Caleb Love that the sophomore guard had never run before.

Forward Armando Bacot said Davis has been so good on calling plays in halfcourt sets that he was confident it would work.

“It’s usually what we want for Kerwin (Walton), but Caleb been so hot,” Bacot said. “I mean, almost kind of forgot that play. For him to call that play at a big time moment like that and Caleb to hit that shot. I mean, it’s huge. And it just speaks on just how good of a coach Coach Davis has been all year.”

Duke the favorite to win the title.  Huh.
