All I am saying is last year, when they lost in the NIT first round, would've been a better time to celebrate their fall back to Earth. They loaded up in the transfer portal with guys more Villanova-y players and should be much improved and a sweet 16ish team again this year...despite these early Big 5 set backs.
I think the jury is still out on Neptune, but willing to give him a few years to build his program.
Also--I feel that the hatred so many people feel towards Nova as opposed to the rest of the Big 5 kinda perpetually levitates them above Earth. So please, don't stop. lolwww.myspace.com0 -
Has anyone else noticed college basketball seems to have done a reverse baseball this year and doing anything they can to make games last forever? I know it's triple overtime but it shouldn't take 3 1/2 hours. One of the timeouts in 3OT "became a media" and I'm like "they played the extended version of Kris Kross" and my buddy says "dude that's House of Pain".Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

Congrats to St Joes. They played well and hit a lot of clutch shots.The Lasalle game was awesome.

I forgot that was yesterday until a notification came up on my phone saying that Drexel beat Nova which I was pretty shocked about. Yep though congrats to St. Joe's.

great Saturday of Big 5 hoops. Hawks are coming together nicely. 3 really good guards and Fleming is becoming a beast. and our supposed stud freshman center has barely played and when he has it's with a bad foot. Great to win the tournament. I was skeptical but it really worked well with the Wednesday games being de-facto semi-finals. Pretty electric Penn LaSalle finish too. Great crowd for the Hawks Temple game. Have to give Temple and SJU students full credit. they packed the student sections. was a rreally fun atmosphere.
and nova in 6th place is pretty god damn funny.0 -
Not Big 5, but I thought I'd Post this here.

nova loses 5th in a row (Vs down
) . Wonder if Neptune can survive if he doesn't make the Tourney again this year. I know their fans want him out but will they fire him if Jay still backs him? They paid a lot in NIL for their transfers this year so those money guys can't be happy. They probably need to go about 7-3 the rest of the way before the Big East tourney to have a chance.
My Hawks have really been up and down in the A10. Just can't stop teams and it's killing them. Big guy Christ is now healthy and starting to play real well so I still think they will have a pretty decent chance of winning the A10 Tourney. Been a fun season though with a few bad losses but overall good to have a good team to care about again on Hawk Hill.

I don't think any philly basketball team is gonna make march madness.St. Joe's probably has the best shot though.

I think Penn is not going to even make the top 4 of the Ivy to get into their Tourney but there is a 5 way tie for that spot right now. Slajchert getting hurt killed them. And Brett Brown's son is pretty good for them as a Freshman.0 -
It would be humorous of the last place Big 5 team ended up being the only one to make the tourney.
Been playing Villanova Basketball lately, that's for sure...www.myspace.com0 -

They need a good run in the Big East tourny to make it I think.
