The Holy Land of Hoops

Pretty good commerical.

I like that tag line for us. It's right up there with "Basketball is our religion".

I like the commercial but there was virtually no Villanova presence that I saw other than a brief glimpse of Arch at the end.

Does it really matter how much of each team is shown in a 30 second spot?
I thought the ad was pretty chilling. Props to FOX. Also, I just saw it during the New Orleans-San Francisco game, so it is getting national airtime, which is always great.

Fox always does a nice job.

what? watch it again. I counted 6 clips with Villanova, which may be the most of any team.

It's a 30 second clip, and it really doesn't matter, but St. John's far and away is featured in that clip. Unless you pay close attention or watch it over and over again in slo-mo, I could see how anyone in the conference "could" perceive they got slighted(except St. John's) if that's what they looking for.

Gotta love the subway train, the kids playing at the fire hydrant, and the barking German shepherd... lol...

I love the tag line as I'm going to use it to others.

Obviously, schools are not depicted equally in each shot. If you're recognizable in the shot getting dunked on, that counts just as much as hitting a buzzer beater.
