A 2-1 day clinches the challenge for the Big East, a 1-2 day means at least we can't lose. I'd prefer we rub it in with 3-0 though.

what will be interesting will be 3 non big east games today...
Clemson/Davidson- winner plays Xavier tomorrow
Wake Forest/UTEP- winner plays Nova tomorrow
Pitt/SMU- winner/loser plays Marquette tomorrow

these bracketed tournaments always see a ton of upsets(remember last year George Mason made the Charleston final).

I think the one thing we're going to find is a lot more tournaments going to the 2K sports model with taking only 4 teams to a site instead of 8. Avoid the possible upsets in rd 1.

Western Michigan is hanging with Villanova in the 2nd half. 47-42

Good job closing out, Nova. Now, let's go X!

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2016 1:32 pm**

A win is a win, but that was a poor, flat, lethargic performance from Nova.

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2016 2:12 pm**

So many fouls in the first half. That last 3 was way too early in the clock.

Xavier is not a great team this year...
