Well... I'm told the hockey team is kind of good again.

How can you not pull for Nova? They're going up a bunch of crooks either way.

NOVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Flyers! (and Nova). Yeah flyers are in contention for a playoff spot. It was kinda funny to see people post on facebook about Nova when i know they don't watch sports at all.

Wobbie

you got my support juggler.

I'm sure all the Nova boys go to class and get good grades.

no weed smokers, either.

Beat it. Go post in the ACC thread. Tough one tonight, Cliff. I was hoping for an old school Big East title game. Oh well.

The Juggler

I'm still in shock. To me, the most impressive thing is not the margin of victory or shooting over 70% yada yada---it was the swarming defense and holding the player of the year to 9 points. Their defense is just so good.

and yet he didn't win Big 5 coach of the year. the writers around here must feel pretty stupid now.

this has been a crazy run for nova when you think about how well they have shot the ball. no team in the modern era (shot clock and 3-pointers) has entered a final game having shot a higher % than this nova team. it's crazy how a month or so ago the talk was about how they weren't a great 3-point shooting team and here they are shooting 49% from three and 56% overall for the tournament (and even greater numbers if you don't include Kansas game). crazy numbers way past the mean of what they did all season long.

The Juggler

Hey, it's National Championship Monday.

Make it a great one, guys.

JK_Livin

Good luck Juggler. I can't say I'm with you because my mom is a UNC grad. Hope it's a final possession game.

eeriepadave

Wow, what a game!

Cliffy6745

That was insane. Had no interest in staying up but that was too good of a game.

JK_Livin

Congrats again. My mom rolled over in her grave but she'd appreciate the game. I'll wait until tomorrow to say Nova sucks.

saw nova was down by 10+ late in the game. had to check my calendar...thought it was march already.

love it...

Sorry dude but yours is now, pretty much, my favorite post in these here threads.

love it...

It's one thing to win a national championship...it's another thing, entirely, to win it in such historic fashion.

One of the greatest runs to a Final Four ever...

The most dominating Final Four game ever...

One of the most exciting title games ever...

And, of course, possibly the greatest finish EVER.




Can't believe this is real.

I can't believe he was uncovered. I didn't want this to come down to coaching.

Well isn't this just friggen fitting. The parade on Friday literally starts directly outside my building. Good thing its Masters Friday and I'll be working from home.

pjhawks

this is even more incredible than 1985. i mean they had to beat 3 of the 5 best teams in the country back-to-back-to-back, shoot the highest % in the history of the modern tourney over 6 games, get 2 great games from 2 different backups in the last 3 games, overcome an incredible no reason to make it shot to tie and hit a deep (although unguarded) 3 to win it. just fucking incredible (and a little sickening to me to be honest). as much as i hate nova and especially the fans it's hard not to be amazed at what they just did. and especially jay and arch, hard to dislike those 2. #respect to those 2. pretty classy individuals.

it was pretty outstanding. Still mind blown by it. I thought the game was gonna go into OT for sure which would have sucked cause i had to be at work today at 6 AM.

Parade is on Friday? Where in philly? Are they gonna do the same parade route as the Phills did in '08?
