Congrats Villanova

[Jays26]

Echo those same thoughts. Contrats to the BIGEAST champs Villanova! It's been an amazing year and couldn't be happier to be in this great conf.

I'd like to echo the 'Congrats Wildcats' and Marsh's sentiments. Very. Funny.

Congrats to Nova but they in no way "ran through" the conference. Tons and tons of OT and 2OT wins as well as nail biter wins by single digits. They just made the big plays in crunch time whenever they had to. I knew Nova would be very good this year. Their fans have it so easy…the team always comes ready to play, they never lose at home, and they get top 10 wins like it's nothing. Hope you guys are relishing in it and not getting used to it. Next season will be very interesting with no Cotton, no entire Creighton team, key Seton Hall players, etc.

I'm with you, Lavinwood. St. John's was clearly the far superior team to Villanova. It took a conspiracy beyond anything in the JFK murder to bring Villanova the championship and to deprive St. John's of what was rightfully theirs.

1. It all begins with the refs who clearly were paid off by Nova people handing wins to Nova and depriving SJU of victory after victory.

2. Then there were the basketball gods themselves. call it Luck. Call it Fortune. Call it Bad Breaks. But it all comes down to the same thing. Someone up there just doesn't like St. John's and is out to torture their fans. How else can anyone explain SJU losing so many games they SHOULD have won?

3. Lavin himself was clearly working o behalf of Villanova by undermining a gifted and talented SJU squad from accomplishing what they would have even if they had no coach. In fact they would have been better off if they had no coach.

4. We had to go deep to find this little known fact, but stick with me on this one. SJU was dealt a devastating blow with the unexplained deaths of Rysheed Jordan's uncle and aunt, 2 very important figures in his life who had convinced him to go to SJU and turn down an offer from Nova. Well, connect the dots. Where were they murdered? Where is Nova located? Look at the timing. This was clearly a revenge killing, executed at a time when it would disrupt Rysheed's game and do the utmost damage to the SJU program. No doubt that Villanova people were behind it.

5. Obama Care. Clearly a program designed to wreak havoc on the St. John's program as it has on so much of the country. Do you think it's any accident that the program was timed to be implemented right at the beginning of the basketball season? Open your eyes, folks!

It is simply miraculous that St. John's has won as many games as it has with the deck stacked completely against them. I don't understand how people can't see just how good this team is . In my humble, humble opinion, this is clearly and easily the best team in the country. Only a combination of corruption, sinister forces, shadowy figures, and the gods themselves could have turned this season into the disaster it has become. You all know it's true. Watch the games. Follow the money.

Post of the day! Well done sir. Very well done.

Congrats on the title from a Butler fan. From my interactions with them this year, Wright and his players were class acts all the way around. Lot to be proud of for Wildcat fans.

The Illuminati symbol is actually just a disguised upside-down Villanova V. Dudes run everything going back centuries. True story.

As a Jays fan, I am hoping we see Nova again in the title game, and that a narrow Jays win gets a Nova a one seed and the Jays a two.

[adoraz11]

Yep congrats to Nova. I'm a sju fan and wish we beat you but Nova much needed for the conference especially beginning of the season beating Kansas and keeping the conference strong and in the rankings.

[Jays 4 3]

Nova was really tough this year. Not a lot of single digit games. Just throttled a lot of really good teams all year long. Congrats.

SJHooper, kinda sick of your posts. I go to 5 St. John's games a year and think you guys are a joke. Your student section is embarrassing. I've seen a better student section at a CYO game. It's just really, really sad and if I were a SJU guy I'd be disgusted. Carnesecca is a glorified high school gym. We have beaten you the last 10 times we have played. Your history of JUCOs and Prop 48s is F'ing disgusting. Going to MSG when you guys play us or G'Town and seeing that your fans are outnumbered should be a kick in the ass but being to so many games at Carnesecca it doesn't surprise me. You haven't won a tournament game since 2000 and the last time you were in the tournament Gonzaga blew your doors off in the first round. You guys were supposed to be great this year and despite being decent you have completely underachieved and now sit on the bubble. After next year you will return to being a .500 team overall and the fact you don't have any guys committed for 2014 or 2015 is not encouraging, but again, since you guys love JUCOs so much you probably go for one of them like the 37 year old Sanchez.

Anyway bud, your team hasn't been relevant in very long, remember that. We were really hoping St. John's would step it up and help the new Big East be relevant, and you haven't. Really take a look at what Villanova has done in the last decade compared to what St. John's has done and realize there is no comparison, because there isn't.

PS - Hooper is the most OVERRATED shooter in the league. Every time they call him in and sit him in the corner St. John's fans make it seem like Jimmy Chitwood just stepped on the floor. Have seen him miss a lot more than I have seen him hit.
