Ha....as you can see Nova remains in some people's heads non stop around here even during down times. Beating them is akin to their national championship. It is amusing lol.
Wob---I loved those Tark UNLV squads and, yeah, Rollie stole money out there. JR Rider was fun to watch for a while though.www.myspace.com0 -
I'm a Temple Owls graduate and season ticket holder. I went to the East Regionals during my senior year in 1999. Still waiting for a Final Four appearance. I'd take that and a regular season loss to Villanova, and not winning the Big 5, gladly.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

How about that Juan PEPE Sanchez. That was a fun team.
Find it hard to believe Temple lost to Nova in '99 though. Those latter Lappas years were rough.Post edited by The Juggler onwww.myspace.com0 -

Kudos to LaSalle fans. Played at North Carolina today and they introduced Belichick and LaSalle fans did Eagles chant.

Was kinda surprised to see penn state playing at the palestra today. Apparently they’ve played there before? Pretty good game against Indiana, too bad they lost.

Some old school Nova defense at the end of that game.
Keep it going...

It is funny thinking about all the people who root for Notre Dame who didn't go to school there (never would've gotten in and never would've been able to pay that absurd tuition) and maybe even haven't been to Indiana (not Ireland - that's not where the school is).
Well the Nova fans at least that school is nearby I guess.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

Basketball is different as there are obviously a lot more D1 schools.
With Nova...I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that if you didn't go there and didn't grow up around the school, there are more people who dislike them than like them. I've never considered Nova a bandwagon basketball school like ND is for football...www.myspace.com0 -
Owls took down #18 Memphis last night and we stormed the court. A little embarrassing but I'll allow it given all the recent bad times.
Also a ridiculous showing by the refs, who must've needed new whistles after the game.
