Would love to see Villanova jump out early. I don't know much about Lafayette. Lehigh was a pain to VU, but that was 4 months ago.

Lafayette played Nova 1st game last year(was first game on FS2 if memory serves me right.). Nova won 75-59. 46-43 for the first 3/4 of the game though.

Just win and don't make it difficult.

Yikes, Nova. Don't eat their souls. It's just a basketball game.

Nice stress free game. What we needed

I thought there would be more Villanova fans at the game with it being in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is 5 hours from Nova. Playing at the Dunk would be a similar distance.

Not very far for an NCAA tourney game...
