Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

St John’s effort is so poor. Looks like Anderson has lost the team.

Lol there's 12 minutes left and we have 3 starters (4 total players) with 4 fouls each...SJU has 11 as a team.

Nova just took the lead at Marquette. Hmmmm

Insanely good games. Xavier got very lucky. They needed this game badly and easily could have lost it.

If you havent noticed the pattern, Nova has repeatedly collapsed down the stretch. It's really tough having to watch Neptune coach this team.

Samuel had 4 fouls, and Holloway played him for 10+ minutes, and sju never went at him.
Hahahaha that's on coaching.
But I'm glad, helps the cause to get rid of this clown of a coach.

How did Xavier get very lucky?

Bynum banked in a 24 footer to send it to overtime. Xavier was 13-23 from the FT line. They were playing without Freemantle. And Xavier got lucky?

The Hall up to 47 on KenPom, 53 on NET, 3rd team out on Bracketville.

Easy, bug guy. I don’t mean “lucky” in the sense that you’re taking it. I’m not disparaging them. They earned that win and deserved it. Maybe “fortunate” would be a better word? My point is that with Freemantle out, they badly need a win like that. It was a game that could have gone either way, and coming away with the win was exactly what they need right now to keep hope alive. With Freemantle in the lineup, that’s a game they figured to win, but without him their prospects were in jeopardy. Congratulations on a well deserved and timely win.

PS - I meant lucky in the sense that you say to your buddy with a deep sigh after a game like that, “Whew! That was a close one. We’re lucky to have come away with the win there because a loss would have been a killer. I’m sure glad it didn’t go the other way.”

Yes, and the 53 on NET Was before the game. Once that win is calculated into the mix, they should bump up a little bit on NET.
