Villanova/Xavier & Marquette/Creighton

[MackNova]

Looks like X about to win now the question is.... Will they be the new #1? That'd be great to see them pass up OU, KU, and UVA.

No way they pass Kansas if Kansas doesn't lose.

If Kansas does lose, good chance Xavier is No. 1.

It would be a crime if Villanova dropped past 3.

And Xavier doesn't even storm the court, acting like they have been there before, I like it.

Great game X. You guys deserve the W. I am just happy Villanova didn't back off and didn't let it turn into a blowout, played hard for the whole 40 minutes.

Hopefully see you guys again at MSG, clearly the 2 best teams in the Big East.

Congrats on the terrific W. If you win against Seton Hall on Sunday I hope you guys end up #1.

That was a great college basketball game! Nova hit about 5 threes in the last couple minutes to make it closer than it really was. Credit Nova, they never gave up.

Edmond was excellent tonight. Hopefully we can see a third game between these two teams in NYC.

Congrats X. Flat out dominated every aspect of the game.

[ChelseaFriar]

Helluva a show, guys! What a game.

X with the deserved win, definitely the better team tonight. Nova was just absolutely poor defensively tonight and didn't match Xavier's intensity, that's not going to get it done in hostile environment against a very good team. Hoping for a rubber match March 12th at MSG.

X brought their A game tonight and really amped up their defense and at times made Nova look like a shell of their typical selves. Nova missed a bunch of easy layins and picked up dumb fouls to start half number 2. That was the game.

it wasn't a buzzer beater overtime game I hoped for but it really was a well played game. win win for both teams as I believe games like this make nova better in the tourney.

Sumner is an NBA guard. I think he'll eventually be a better pro than Dunn (and I think Dunn will be solid).

Can't argue. Love Sumner's game. Finishes around the rim better than Dunn and seems to avoid bad decisions for the most part (unlike Dunn, at times).

Dunn's still a better shut down defender but Sumner has the body to become one. Dunn's a better rebounder, but he has some muscle on him from being older.

I think Xavier gets one more season out of him. Scouts have to be drooling over a PG with that frame.
