btw I am sure Spellman's coming back next season, but he's looking more and more like an NBA prospect. We could've done real damage last year if he wasn't suspended.

3 straight years with a team in the E8. Mid-major league at best. :shock:

Well done Nova.

WVU would drive me nuts with that defense.

Good composure and resilience by nova. WV was a tough team, but foul trouble caught up with them and nova's shooting heated up in the latter part of the second half. Keep it going nova.

It'll be interesting to see if he tests the NBA draft process this year. The run that turned the game around in the 2nd half- that sure looked like an NBA prospect. He wouldn't be the first guy to parlay an NCAA run into NBA draft position. Looked a bit like a Draymond Green IMO. And we know what he's done in the pros.

This is the game that I thought if Nova was going to lose, this would be it.

Nova now with a chance if they win it all to make a claim at being the team of the decade. They would definitely be in contention after this year if they win it all. Would have 2 titles, 2 final 4's in the decade. It's a shame that the years were up 1 where the decade wasn't 2009-18, as Nova would have that other final 4 appearance added.

It's crazy that in this decade- 2009-18- there would have been 10 champs. Kentucky, Louisville, and then 4 teams with 2 each. UNC, Duke, UConn, and Villanova.

Also what is really crazy now is the last 21 years, since 1997 tournament when Arizona won- only 1 team outside the eastern time zone has won the championship(Kansas in 2008). In fact, since Marquette won in 1977, there's only been 6 champions outside the eastern time zone. Kansas twice, UNLV, Arkansas, UCLA, and Arizona.
