[General_Tso]

Anudder bubble burst.

 

[radecicco]

Was kind of rooting for Posh.

 

[Section112]

Georgetown can’t hit a FT. Awful to watch.

 

[LBP43]

For some strange reason , I am interested in Nova Game --
And not cause I believe DePaul has a chance

 

[Piratz]

Also awful is Brando carrying the water for Cooley, my God.

 

[dehere23]

I just caught the end of this, and there was an audible "#$%& Ed Cooley" you could hear on TV from the Providence fans in attendance.

 

[Seton75]

Brando and raf not a good listen. Its like we have two 8-9 games tonight.

 

[SHUSource]

Brando is just about unlistenable.

 

[shu09]

DePaul up 8 on Villanova with 12:48 to play. Nuts. I've thought Neptune would get another year but if they lose this one they might fire him LOL.

 

[HALL85]

?????…DePaul up by 8.

 

[SHUSource]

DePaul up 40-32, second half on Villanova, which is tightening up more with every minute. It seems to happen every year, where a team comes in with absolutely nothing to lose. Now, they aren’t usually as bad as this DePaul team, but they are leaving it all out there and frustrating Villanova to no end.

Very compelling stuff.

For some strange reason , I am interested in Nova Game --
And not cause I believe DePaul has a chance

12 minutes left and it looks like Nova is going to lose to DePaul. I get the feeling DePaul is going to win. Nova is feeling the pressure of total embarrassment.

 

[SHUSource]

Not just embarrassment, but their season would be over (the NIT notwithstanding).

 

[Hall84]

That 8 point lead disappeared quick

 

[shu09]

Jalen Terry and Justin Moore have to be pushing age 30 by now, lol. Guys have been there forever.

 

[dehere23]

They should just go into the post to Dixon every time until Depaul starts doubling again, and tell him not to turn down point blank shots from 5 feet out. He's had multiple looks only to kick it out to a three point shooter. I get that's a Nova staple, but they've shot 29 of them so far at 31% (including 9 from him).

 

[Seton75]

Brando and raf not a good listen. Its like we have two 8-9 games tonight.

Well. I guess calling out nova depaul was a little hasty.

For me brado is "desi goes babaloo"!!!!

 

[HALL85]

Tie game with 3 to go. DePaul came to play.

 

[Hall84]

Getting tight on the mainline

 

[NYC Pirate]

DePaul leads by 2 with 37 seconds to go.

 

[dehere23]

This is a disaster. You let a team with Division I basketball players hang around, even a historically bad one like Depaul, and this is what happens.

 

[shu09]

I believe I saw Villanova was favored by 24.5 points. Simply stunning.

 

[shu09]

Can DePaul play smart with a lead?

 

[sussexcopirate]

Finish them DePaul.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Slight bit of pressure right now down there.

 

[dehere23]

Justin Moore saves the day.

 

[shu09]

Terrible defense. Why are you backing up on Moore?

 

[SHallguy2]

Winning by one is like losing, glad it’s Nova and not us, can you imagine their board tomorrow.

 

[NYC Pirate]

That stinks for Depaul.

 

[shu09]

Even with the loss, DePaul has still won 3 of its last 5 opening round BET games. Something to be said for having nothing to lose.

 

[SHUsez]

I thought they were going to do it.

 

[PirateFan94]

Horrible break for us. We could have been comfortably in with a nova loss

 

[Hall84]

DePaul outta control last 8 seconds
Plenty of time to get a decent shot

 

[NYC Pirate]

Horrible break for us. We could have been comfortably in with a nova loss

I don't believe Nova is our strongest competitor for a bid.

 

[hbkmyr]

 

[SHUSource]

Heartbreaker for DePaul. What the hell was Nelson doing against Moore on that last shot? Jeez…

Anyway, Clemson is getting curb-stomped by BC. They’re a bubble team, right? That’s no way to make your case…

EDIT: I see that Clemson is considered safely in, seeded as a 6 by Lunardi, somehow. I’d love a piece of them as an 11.

 

[SHUSA]

if nova loses tomorrow and their last chip was a 1 pt win to depaul, thats a really bad showing for them. most likely it hurts them (and losing to them keeps our win vs Nova better)

 

[LBP43]

Nova just lost a chance to dance unless they run the table

 

[Piratz]

Even with the loss, DePaul has still won 3 of its last 5 opening round BET games. Something to be said for having nothing to lose.

That clean slate mentality too makes a difference for them. They are much tougher at the BET.
