Always watch. Really good show. I pretty much consider it a part of the game.

NOVA looking like they are ready for another deep run.

Well that sucked, but I think it said a lot more about Villanova than it did about Seton Hall. The Pirates didn't play an awful game (though it was a clear step down from how they played against Creighton), they just got pretty close to Nova's best. Reality is there's maybe a handful of teams in the country that can hang with the Wildcats when they shoot the ball the way they did last night. For the most part, Seton Hall played a pretty decent first half, with the only negative being an inability to buy a 3-pointer. Then of course, with about 2 minutes left in the half in a 1 point game, Villanova started the run that changed the game. For a roughly 6 minute period spanning both side of halftime, the Wildcats didn't miss a shot, going 9-9 from the field, including 5-5 from 3, and 3-3 from the line to very quickly balloon a 1 point lead into a 20+ point lead. The run clearly demoralized the hosts, who never threatened to get back in the game.

I couldn't watch the game but after looking at the box score I'm going to guess Markus Howard was a little problem. Xavier probably played zone and Marquette torched it. Marquette is a damn good team and there was no way Xavier would win there 3 years in a row. Congrats to Marquette
