While we all feed bad for Ed Sumner and Xavier, Seton Hall can't. This is a golden opportunity for them against a weakened opponent, and the Pirates need to live up to their nickname and be ruthless. Heavily pressure the freshman point guard from the opening tip, try to rattle him and punch Xavier in the mouth early. Things will obviously get easier for X as they get more experienced and comfortable playing without Sumner, so the Hall really needs a strong start tonight.

You see, I think that's pretty ignorant. What is better for the Big East is not for Providence to beat Nova, possibly costing Nova a #1 seed. Nova's job isn't to help any of the bubble schools. We need them to be a #1 seed, not the moronic "sharing their RPI" Marxist crap. It's not Nova's fault that PC lost to BC OOC and put themselves in this position.

I think your statement is ignorant if you don't think a Creighton fan should root for Nova to get beat.

That's fine, then say Providence needs to win to help Creighton. Don't say it's got bubble implications so take PC. Or Jet's favorite saying of sharing their RPI. Getting an extra team in the tourney, at the cost of Nova losing their #1 seed, isn't worth it in any fashion.
