Brutally cold from 3.

The best offense nova has run all yr.
lots of interior work and looks. Not the lazy settle for a jump shot offense we have seen the rest of the year.

A bit of that having to do with the softest defense in league.

nova has no problem running half court offense. on the other side, creighton is struggling to run their offense. they need to up the tempo but nova is a tough team to beat down court.

two things:

(1) why is it 10:51PM and after watching this marathon I don't feel like any B.E is F4 material? I'm so puzzled
(2) That Creighton crowd is exciting. They have carried the Big East since Day I. I hope to see more of that from the other original league members...

Providence, Xavier and nova are all capable of making the final four. Butler too. Heck, even seton hall could make a run.

It's a single elimination tourney. Just have to get invited and see what happens. Nova recently went to the final four with perhaps jay wright's fifth best team, but it's second and fourth best teams went out in round two, yet his ninth best team went to the sweet 16. Goofy sport.

I think you are insane if you think PC couldn't make the final 4. PG worse than Dunn have put their team on their shoulders in the tourney and just didn't let them lose.

Nova and X can make runs as well. Not quite as sure about Butler or Seton Hall- but you never know.

Do some channel jumping and watch other conferences, you BE is on par with the others. Its just teams are rarely going to look as good as this did in the non-con because the competition is higher now. We have 4 legit FF contenders.

I never understand those who make that type of comment. It only comes from fans who have never seen their schools make a surprise run. Uconn lost its last game prior to the 2014 tourney by 4o pts. In 2011 they finished Ted for 9th in the conference. Those teams won the whole thing.

Nova made the final four in 2009 after being pounded twice in January and February. They didn't look like a final four team as they were losing by a couple dozen in those games.

And providence has looked awesome, Xavier showed they have a lot of balls today, and nova looks good so far on the road. What about the games today is worthy of criticism?

[ecasadoSBU]

I hope so. this is the year we need to break through!!!!!
