Perhaps my favorite part of Big East hoops is that fans of 9 other schools were cheering loudly for Nova tonight and we all feel proud for their accomplishment.

Villanova beating the number 1 seed in the tournament and only shooting 4-18 from is probably the most impressive stat of this game. Completely suffocating defense along with near perfect free throw shooting are two constants that will keep Nova in games even if their shot isn't falling.

Nova is such an easy program to root for, definition of class from the players to the coach to the fans. Power conferences put teams in the final four and that is what the Big East is.

Amen. I do love that all the Big East fans are all in for Nova. Great rep!

[MackNova]

Appreciate the support.

Next year, someone join us in the Final Four!

LET'S GO NOVA!!!

Good stuff from Mike DeCourcy:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — This is a triumph for Villanova basketball, obviously. The Wildcats bore the majority of the load in this circumstance, the majority of the pressure and the expectation and the criticism. This Final Four belongs to them. Just not exclusively.

It belongs in some small way to Philadelphia, a city that has remained devoted to its basketball community, the Big Five, for longer than many similar towns would have bothered.

It belongs to those who understand the appeal of football but don’t believe it is the only collegiate athletic endeavor worthy of interest and attention.

And it belongs to all of Villanova’s brothers and sisters in the Big East. The new Big East. The commissioner of that conference, Val Ackerman, was courtside Saturday night at KFC Yum! Center, a couple rows behind the Wildcats’ bench and one behind Danny Gavitt, whose father founded the league that now is populated exclusively by private schools — that do not field BCS football team — from Providence to Omaha. The Big East people wanted this badly, believing it to be an essential affirmation of their new brand.
