#Nova is not built for Big 12. Tried to tell people last year..really good team,just not elite- last night showed that

Right now did some looking. Last 2 years and this year so far. Nova has played 8 KP top 50 teams OOC/tourney. Their record in those 8 games? 4-4. With first 3 wins being early 2014 season(Kansas, Iowa, and St Joe's). That's right- last 5 OOC games against top 50 teams, Nova is 1-4. Losses by 16 to Syracuse, 12 to UConn, 3 to NC State, and now 23 to Oklahoma. Only win in that period- VCU.
Just for comparison did same look at Xavier. They're 8-3 now. With the first 3 games in 2014 (win over Tennessee, loss to Iowa, loss to Tennessee)- means X is 7-1 in their last 8 games OOC/tourney vs top 50 teams(only loss to Arizona last year in the tourney).
If Nova did OOC/tourney what X has done- no one could say anything about them at all.

I couldn't care less about what he says or thinks about Nova or it's game against OK. My point is about the decline of journalism/media with all these talking point inflammatory pundits. Tomorrow or the next day, he's going to saying something outlandish /over the top about some other team or situation, maybe even about your beloved AAC. Bet you'd sing a different tune then. It's his MO, he's a one trick no talent hack.

Sorry, but right now, I don't think it's all that inflammatory to say that Villanova isn't an elite team, but just really good. Last year the only team Nova beat OOC that made the tourney was VCU. Last 4 losses to good teams OOC/tourney- all were ugly losses for Nova. And in the 4 games took 122 3's and 103 2's. Last night just reinforced what everyone thought about nova. Look at the drop in the CBS top 25 and 1.
