Big game right off the bat.

Agree with KenPom... at home Nova will prevail.

 

[TrueBlue1989]

Nova only bc it is home.

Nova. X hasn't played Nova tight since Joining BE, I believe.

 

[Save Continental]

2 great games tomorrow, PC/Butler also.

I went with the home teams, Butler and The Nova. This game is being played on campus - when is the last time The Nova hosted a top 10 team at the Ski Lodge? I would think most have been at the WF Center.

Im not a believer in nova, i think this is the time X GON GIVE IT YA

 

[SPK145]

I have Villanova, their demise has been greatly exaggerated.

 

[Section112]

They will split home and homes. Nova tomorrow by a hair.

Payback time for Xavier and it's deeper bench pays off. Xavier - 68 Nova - 63

 

[Burnsly]

Nova by at least 10.

 

[49ers10]

Nova 77-75 in a thriller and in OT!

 

[Fzacsattac]

Nova will prevail by 5

Though I am extremely impressed by Xavier, I believe the home court advantage wins out and tips this one in favor of Villanova. Nova is soft when they play tough competition. But this is their home-opener and they have something to prove.

 

[Hall91]

Go with the home team

I hope they kill each other in triple OT. X by 1 with.000001 on the clock in the 3rd OT.
