For the love of god NovaNation, put an end to this ACC/ESPN circle jerk.

Help us Villanova...

Great opportunity for the Wildcats but I'm not too excited about playing Kansas should we get there.

Kansas is really tough, but if Nova is having a good night they can play with anybody. Hell, PC hung with UNC for about 30 minutes and we all know the warts PC had. Miami is a really tough team too so no easy nights but Nova is dangerous.

1 game at a time. Never know what might happen

As a Villanova fan, I'm not scared of anyone. Miami could beat us. Kansas could beat us. Anyone remaining in the dance can beat us. But we can beat any of them, too.

Who cares who you have to play in the Elite 8? They are all good (except for the lower part of the South Region and maybe a little bit of a break in Cuse's subregion).

Miami is going to be real tough, but Nova will be favored by about the same amount that Xavier was against Wisconsin. And anything can happen in the Kansas game. Jay Wright has beat Bill Self a couple of times, I'm not afraid of them.

Miami is a great team when Rodriguez is shooting it well and an good team when he isn't. He lit us up in the first half down in Puerto Rico and then we came back a bit on them when he cooled off. Keep him and Jekiri in check and they are beatable. I think Nova has the personnel to do it and doesn't need to play like the Iowa game, but not have an off night to win it. I'm rooting for Nova, but not because they are the only team left, but that they are a damn good team and want them to the the next step while they have all the right tools!

Only 3 conferences did better than the BE so far and they all sent more teams to the tourney, so they can suck it if they call us overrated! (UVA boards couldn't decide if we would finish mid pack or 4-5 in their conference after we played them, so I don't think real fans will lose much respect for the BE no matter what happens to Nova.) With that said, kick Miami's a** like you did Iowa's!

Amen, go Nova.
