    Congrats to Nova for finally reaching a level that both Temple and my Hawks have achieved previously. #1 in the AP Poll.
    Thanks! Hopefully Nova's season ends better than it did for the Hawks those many years ago
    both the Hawks and Temple lost in the Elite 8 their years they were #1. and of course Temple and the Hawks didn't get to play the regionals on their home court like Nova might :smirk:

    Nova at Temple on the 17th will be a wild one if Nova still #1.
    No offense, but expectations are higher on the Main Line. Be a nice season to get to the Elite 8 again, but this team, in a wide open season, has a good shot to do more.

    after flaming out before the sweet 16 the last few years i imagine a final 8 would be quite welcome on the main line especially if the loss comes against one of the powers. let's hope it's long before that again though :smiley:

    Like I said, Elite 8 would be nice and they've been there a couple times since St Joes made that one and done run 12 or 13 years ago. Goal is to get back to final four. All about March.....which cannot get here soon enough. I hate February.

    Yes it was. I was at the 2004 Elite 8 Game. I thought Carroll was gonna get that lose ball, and then Lucas hit that 3. I also thought Jameer Nelson's shot at the buzzer was going in, but fell just short. I know it wasn't like it could be for 'Nova, if they make it to the Regionals, but ther were a lot of St. Joe's fans at that game. It was a great game but it was a shame that SJ didn't win.

    Would not shock me to see Temple win tomorrow. This is basically their championship game.

    If it wasn't a Wednesday night, I'd be there. Try to get to this game every year or so. Usually lands on a weekend.

    Yeah, Wednesday is though. Temple is convenient enough for me that I would definitely go if I didn't have to be at this thing. I am sure it will be a blast. That place will be wild.

    LaSalle AD is out. 10 losses in a row. Supposed to have a decent class next year. Maybe Doc G's last stand. Need a better X's & O's guy.

    Everyone else seems to be doing well.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    typical Nova fan comment. if i had a nickel for every time a nova fan said something similar i'd be rich. go Temple.

    Hawks have a huge one tomorrow as well at home against Dayton. Win and baring a collapse i think it secures the Hawks a ticket to the dance and moves into a tie for 1st place in the A10. 6:00 pm start so early start but can catch end of Temple-Nova.

    3 transfers for LaSalle next year. Can't believe how little resistance they put up on the Hawks Saturday night. they had no fight in them. Take solace in LaSalle is still the last Big 5 team to make a Sweet 16.

    Ha. You know it's the truth. Hence a court rush if they do end up winning. Guaranteed.

    they will storm the court because they are #1 not because it's Nova.
