    I agree
    but hey its all we got

    ugh, that makes me gag.

    boeheim's taking shit again for saying the team really isn't that good. who can blame him when we barely beat william and mary? we really have no 3 point shooter this season. i'm kinda scared of the start of the big east season.

    not to get off topic, but i'm pumped for saturdays football game against boston college. i'll be there with my uncle. we both went to the last su vs bc game in boston, back in '03. what an amazing game that was.

    :lol: He's amazing. I knew he was nasty and he would show it a little bit his first two years. Now he's been let loose. They have scary talent this season with freshmen like Shabazz Nappier, Roscoe Smith, and Niles Giffy.

    It pains me as a St. John fan, especially since he's from New York. Actually that's right on par with my pain level with all the NY area players Villanova has recruited recently.

    I think we can all agree on that the Big East IS the best conference in the nation.

    and nova is one of the worst top 10 teams i've seen in years. not just saying that because i don't like them. temple gives them a beat down on thursday and their demise begins.

    Tough loss for UConn. The freshman will have to grow during Big East play.

    tough spot for them. 1st big east game going into Pitt against a veteran team. Would have been a great win. Add in Walker being ok but not lights out and can totally understand the loss.

    dude. you're the biggest nova hater i've seen in a while. you've followed me over to this thread too? your squad is st joes. if nova wins 18 games, it will still be about 6 more than that squad. beat it!

    ...oh, and it does not take a genius to figure out nova's overrated right now. everyone is saying it.

    st joes....:roll: :lol:

    sorry Jaegs not following you around just love college hoops and love to talk about it. and yes i have an unhealthy hatred for nova but that doesn't mean i am wrong. and at least i am not a bandwagon fan like some (how many times last year did you say you were done with the Eagles like a fraud fan?). i like and follow my teams whether they suck bad like the hawks or are great like the Phillies. anyways since this is a Big East thread i am assuming i can talk about Nova here. Prediction for thursday, Temple 81 Nova 68. take the points Temple will be getting (i am assuming around 5) and jump on that money and use it to celebrate new years.

    didn't see final stats but a good portion of those came from the foul line. at one point he was something like 6-20 from the field.

    edit: Kemba Walker was 10-27 from the field. not very good despite the number of points.

    from Joe Lunardi

    17. I'll get killed for this, but Villanova may be the nation's most overrated team at this point. The 'Cats best win came against mediocre UCLA, and they were defeated handily by their only Top 50 opponent (Tennessee). We'll know more when 'Nova meets Temple later this week for the Philly Big 5 title.

    i challenge you to point out one time i said i was done with the eagles. you're just making shit up and you know it. all last year i was saying its a rebuilding year and at many points was the only one keeping that thread alive. season ticket holder for life. give me a break. :lol:

    either way, i'm happy you're not a bandwagon fan. i like st joes. no reason to hate on my fellow philly schools. never understood that. but it doesn't mean i'm wrong to say they suck though.

    also-where did i say you were wrong about nova? you just think you are ahead of the curve saying they are overrated when i have been saying the same thing since the beginning of the season (check my first post in the big 5 thread). everyone is saying it. lunardi is saying they're the most overrated team in the country right now. again, nothing new what so ever by you.

    and you'd be stupid not to take the points in thursdays game. i would if i wasn't a nova fan. again--nothing groundbreaking from you. nova is under .500 ats with a margin of -1.75 as of last week. gonna be a tight one. i'd give a slight edge to nova just because they're at the dupont and never lose there. like i told johnny a, wouldn't be surprised to see temple take it though as nova will be a work in progress all the way to march. as a st joes fan, you do remember what happens in march, right? :mrgreen: ...oh, no, you think it's the nit, don't you? :lol::lol::lol:
