Amen. Who would have thought a couple of years ago that all these people in Omaha, Cinn., and Indy would be so wired to watching Nova playing tonight. It was a great game and an amazing comeback for Nova. Their performance and the others so successful thus far will help to get more conference teams in the NCAA tourney and more national media coverage. That will continue to bring top national talent to the Power 6 (Football 5 and us) ! The video on Coach Wright was great on the advantage of having a basketball primary league vs football team .


Do you have a link to that video?

It was a post game interview after the VCU game. I just saw it on twitter. It was only a minute, but he said that he and Shaka just happened to be on the elevator and walking down the hall together prior to the game and were talking about the advantages of being at a school where bball is #1. The AD, the assoc. ads, the President to the janitor all care about bball.

Hell, I was more nervous at the end of that game than I was in the last few minutes of the CU - Oklahoma game. I never cared as much if another Valley team was in a game like that. Sure, I pulled for them for the conference and from a little guy vs. the big guy perspective, but I didn't necessarily care that much. Maybe we just haven't been in this league long enough for me to develop a healthy hatred for all of you, yet. 8-)

Nice wins by Creighton and Nova last night! Let's keep it rolling!
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
