Well there goes Villanova's chance at a #1 seed, IMO.

2 seed is nothing to sneeze at.

they better be doing nothing but foul shots all week. knew that would come back to bite them at some point.

i know, but a #1 seed would have been pretty cool

Looks like St. Joe's should def. be in with their win today

oh boy.....lunardi has nova as a 2 and st joes as a 10......with a potential 2nd round match up again........

with Kansas losing still a small shot at a #1 seed. St. Joe's probably will be a lower seed especially of they win today. That would kinda suck for philly fans if Nova and St. Joe's were to face off in the 2nd round.

Congrats to the Hawks. A10 Champs baby. that was a fun ride this past weekend.

10 seed basically shows that yesterday's game didn't mean anything for seeding purposes.

UConn tough matchup. 50/50 game there. I always wonder when teams go on runs to win their conference tourney like the Hawks did if they have anything left for next week. should be interesting to see how the Hawks react.

like the 6:55 and 9:30 start times for Hawks and Nova games. Will be well liquored up by those game times.

Saturday - well not ideal for either squad if it comes to pass. I think Nova would probably rather avoid us there and as mentioned losing to that fan base in the NCAAs might be unbearable. but the worst part for me...my niece is getting married Saturday and might have to miss the game depending on the game time. are you fucking kidding me? either way lots of boozing coming up.

Congrats guys and good luck. Would you rather them not meet in the second?

St Joes is a LOCK with Nova looming in round 2. Talk about motivation.

If this game comes to fruition...wow. I don't know what to say. But it will be fucking nuts. All of the pressure will be on Nova though. If they can get by that game ....I love this bracket. I think they have a chance to make a deep run.

Gonna be fun boys!

I think the East is stacked. yes Virginia is not the best 1 but they will defend the heck out of you. Michigan State as the 4 is brutal, love this Iowa State team as the 3, and North Carolina as a 6 can be really tough. Iowa State-UNC possible 2nd round game would be a heck of a game.

definitely gonna be fun. my favorite week of the year.

yeah but compared to the midwest, for example, it seems a lot easier to me. i think providence beats unc. i like nova to get to elite 8.....but either st joes or uconn will be a fucking battle on saturday.

Nova is one of my absolute lock covers against the spread in the 1st round (yea I know it's considered the 2nd round but to me Thursday-Friday will always be the 1st round). I think they dominate from minute one on Thursday night.

I think Iowa State in the Sweet 16 would be a very tough matchup for Nova.

and I think UNC is a lock against Providence. I am always wary of teams who won their conference tournaments who weren't high seeds in them. they are usually good but not great teams who asking to play really well two weekends in a row which is difficult. My Hawks are kind of in this same boat as well.

The Juggler

I hear you...all I know is from watching Providence oer the last few weeks, they are one o those tough minded teams that can give you a tough time. Took Nova 3 OT's to beat them last time

The Juggler

well i was hoping for a holy war in march, even though it would have scared the hell out of me....i'll settle for a battle with a former big east foe. nova has to play a lot better to beat uconn....nice to have them coming off an overtime game though.

Should have known better than to pick Nova going to the final four ~X(

The Juggler

well that was hugely disappointing.

Those were tough endings to a good year for you guys. Shabazz was ridiculous.
