Good luck to all the Nova fans out there. We at the HolyLand offer our full support to Jay Wright and the Wildcats as they battle for the right to play for a national championship on Monday.

So it turns out a fire alarm went off at Villanova's team hotel last night. Keep it classy Oklahoma.

Good luck to Villanova...!

Just another game... no worries, just come out and play like you can and you'll be tipping off on Monday night. You have the depth and talent and leadership.

GO CATS!!!

from a numbers thing, there's 2 big things....
1- turnovers. Nova protects the ball, and Oklahoma forces fewer turnovers- than the other way.
Nova- 16.3% turnovers- #58, Oklahoma forces 17.7% turnovers #202.
Oklahoma- 18.0% turnovers- #176. Nova forces 20.5% turnovers- #45.
2- getting to the line... both teams are in the 245-262 range in getting to the line, while both teams are in the 28-53 range in allowing teams to get to the line. Especially huge of course for Nova given how good they are at shooting free throws.

It's funny, I think a tight whistle helps Nova tonight. They have 8 guys who play more than 40% of the minutes. Oklahoma has only 5- but then 2 guys at 30% and another at 21%.

All the best, guys. Make it happen!
