Congrats Villanova -National Champions. Well done 'Nova...you done good! Congrats to Gumby, Novaball, and the rest of the gang. Excellent team, coach, and university. Congrats to the Beast...I guess we ain't dead?
The media has Tobacco Road bias? Of course they do.
Steverrrr's money was on the Nof Clickians. UNC by the way - will cry for the rest of the year, whine about missed calls, and may threaten people. (It's what they do.)
This is All good!
Luv ya,

how about this ESPN factoid:
ESPN College Basketball
@espncbb
The Big East has won 6-straight National Championship game appearances.
so-
Nova tonight
Louisville 13
UConn 11
UConn 04
Syracuse 03
UConn 99
I guess last loser was Seton Hall back in '89 then?

Nova shot the highest tournament FG percentage by a National Champion in the last 50 years with 58.2%.

I don't know, I recall some pundit insinuating that Nova wouldn't finish top 3 in the Big 12. With that in mind, this whole "National Championship" business must be a mistake.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I heard this was the third hardest route to the national championship since the seeding took place. That takes out most excuses as to why they won.
