    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.

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

    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?

    It was pretty remarkable, wasn't it? I saw somewhere that they had something like the third toughest road to the championship ever...and then to finish like that was pretty crazy.

    Actually--the first thought that popped into my mind when Paige hit his three was the Scottie Reynolds play in '09 vs Pitt. Roughly the same amount of time on the clock so I wasn't overly upset. It was weird.

    And props to you, Hawks-- it's always been clear that you get the Big Five and respect its history and tradition. Nova has their fare share of detractors but any Big Five team winning the whole thing is a big deal to the city and all of the city six teams, for the exposure alone.

    That was one hell of an ending. I went from so fuckin pissed to pure elation in 4.7 seconds! I thought for sure when Paige hit that 3, it would go into OT and UNC would win by 8 or some shit. Can't stand Carolina and one of my buddies at work is a huge fan. I really didn't want to hear it all day today - thank you, basketball gods!

    YOUR National Champs just got a 22 million dollar gift from an alumni to go towards the expansion of the Dupont (finally). A top five junior recruit, who did not want to meet with them prior to the final four run, has granted an in home visit. And they just got a commitment from a local power forward for 2017.

    Not a bad month for The National Champs.

    Names? Do you know who donated the $22 MIL? (that Pavillion needs a upgrade)

    And, who's the top 5 JR.? & who's the local 2017 power forward who gave a verbal? We need names>LOL

    the power forward was the dude from Neumann Roundtree.

    the only problem with Nova getting the funds for Pavillion upgrade is that Radnor will fight them tooth and nail on everything. they fought Nova on putting a pedestrian bridge over Lancaster ave. they are pricks to nova at every turn. it's a shame because nova really needs to replace the Pavillion but Radnor will never let them build something new and bigger.

    Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree is the power forward. He was looking at Syracuse, Miami, USC, etc......but decided he wanted real chance to win a national championship (HEY OH!)

    Think the junior is Brian Bowen? Could be wrong...
