Nova2 thread

Have a fun and safe trip down to all those who are going.  Hope you get the win you deserve.

SJ - 77
Nove - 75


Hilliard misses 3 pt. shot at buzzer to win it

Wish I was going . I planned to. Think we have a good chance.

Think we are going to lose.  Worst matchup in the conference for us (really for anyone, but us in particular IMO).  My concern is everyone staying healthy and getting better for the BE tournament.

We shoot the ball from 3 well, like last game, and it will be a barn burner.

No injuries, no fights.

Nova 70
SJU 64

When we step out on the court, we will know where we stand for the BE tournament as Prov/But and Hoyas/Hall are noon games.  If we cannot improve our BE standings/seeding, the game is meaningless.  I say play the bench and rest/heal the starters because the Thursday game against Butler will be more important.  I want us to beat Nova next Friday night. 

Nova is a lox!

Dead on, Baldi (except I hope the score is the opposite, though as I stated earlier think we lose).

I hope that means Nova gets smoked by us 

this game means more to nova than it does for us. a loss to us and they lose #1 in ncaa.  rest our guys, and win the BE Tourney.

if branch is healthy and we get a little help from the bench we can compete.  Team, in particular Dom, Greene and Jordan, are playing at a high level lately.  Out guards must out play theirs to win, our front line will have a tough time though Im sure Dom will do his thing 

Article says Hilliard guarding Dom?  Not with Pinkston and Ochefu in the game at the same time (and I think Hart would get the assignment if on the floor with Pinkston or Ochefu)

Weve made it the the 18th hole, and its the hardest one on the course. Lucky for us we are playing with house money. I say reach for the driver and aim for the green.

77-73 sju

Played gonzaga and Duke tough. Played them even for 30 plus . They are better overall. Think we beat them once in the next week.

I don't get that board. They were going along talking good hoop stuff and the broke down completely and started talking nasty and dumb about DLo. Maybe they have the fans with brains go first and then finish up with the dopes.

Meanwhile you ever hear Jay Wright talk about D-Lo - would take him in a nanosecond.  Most Nova fans I know are actually pretty good as compared to the Providence's and Seton Hall's of the world.

Good post. My brother in law played for Jay Wright. He is a hard ass, takes no sht, but fair guy and great coach. Great judge of character. No surprise he appreciates Harrison for his growth

For anybody saying to rest the starters or concede the game, I think you are absolutely crazy.

Let's continue our strong play and make a run at a very good #1 seed at home. A close game or a win would mean the world to this group going into the tournaments.

Pinkston just one example of that Baldi.
