  • Duke-UNLV tonight. I remember watching the 1990 championship in the basement of my college dorm and being utterly humiliated being the only Duke fan. The revenge the next year was sweet, though.

    Just being an asshole is one thing but that reaction on the bench is disturbing. He got issued a tech and acted like it was a life sentence. This is a Big 5 thread though so go LaSalle & F Dook. Beat Dunk City last week and BJ won A10 POW!
    Alright, alright, alright!

  • I don't know what the Big 5 is, sorry. Is there a thread for just college basketball?

    pretty good article by Dick Jerardi on Nova's historical success the past couple of years.

    Not sure I knew what the Big 5 was before I moved to this area. Maybe...

    Cliff you're a Syracuse fan and they played Nova twice a year forever. You really don't think you knew what the Big 5 was prior to moving here? They mention it on every telecast...

    Well I do now and it makes sense but no, down here you don't hear much about the Big 5.

    Yeah, I assume you're probably right. Probably just didn't give it too much thought. Don't think I notice how much they talk about it but yeah..

    thought the Nova game was on later and totally missed it. They were bound to lose soon anyway.

    Cool commentary by Scott Van Pelt on ESPN regarding the Palestra. Penn State is playing Michigan State there tomorrow in a home game.

    i am shocked that Nova won that game. I only caught part of it at a bar and they looked bad.

    After that first half, so am I. That was a great test for the tourney.

    going back to the Marquette game Jenkins at one point missed 15 straight shots. that's pretty amazing for a guy with such a good stroke. Virginia's offense just isn't good enough in crunch time, Virginia had to knock Nova out in the first half when they only shot 18%. You have to be up more than 9 points at half when your opponent shoots 18%.
