Good for the them. I hope Corey Fisher brings his A game against Iona in the NIT.

Nova stinks.  They displayed the exact same perimeter only game that got them waxed by us.

agree--I think their bubble should have burst!  I think both Harvard and Princeton deserve it before them.

Jay Wright is a very overrated coach.

Are you kidding me gonzalo?  This is the exact kind of ridiculous what have you done lately for me (aka in the last year) attitude that got lavin fired from ucla for a much worse season than wright just had.

What about the last decade of success? What about when they throttled duke in the sweet 16? What about when they earned the sweet 16 win against the eventual national champs unc but were robbed by the refs?

Wright is a very good to great coach.  Get real. 

Nova will make the dance but should be put in the outbracket to prove they belong in the 64. That said, with the horrible finish, I have no issues with them being left out.

What Wright is dealing with is not so uncommon. He has several All Americans on this team, and what we're learning is that some of these players either aren't the great players they were expected to be, or they'll just take more time to develop.

Additionally, seniors, Fisher and Pena have under-performed. Since they are two city kids who left us hanging, I truly hope they finish their careers with a first round exit in the NIT at the hands of Iona or better yet, Hofstra.

They'll be in the NCAAs. Take a look at what's on the bubble. Villanova's better than many others.

Gonzalo has been saying this for a while, and I see his point, but I think Wright's overrated in the way that Calipari, Self, and Barnes are. I've seen some underwhelming X's and O's out of all of them, but the talent they bring in gets 30 wins a year, and will win you the occasional national championship if you are matched up against a fellow X's and O's non-genius.

Wright has been to the Final Four. He's made the dance how many years in a row?

Is Lou C overrated too, because that's his resume as well.

Every coach has a bad year. I'd for 21-11 to be a "bad" year for us.
Before Wright, Nova would sweat out a bid every year.

Another choke job by Nova and Wright.

I would be surprised if Iona gets into NIT
