Been looking forward to this Nova/Baylor game!

That would be a great win for Nova and the league. Hope the cats can win that game and then go into sleepy hibernation for a week or two!

Lol, after seeing you guys yesterday, that could be a heck of a game next week!

to me if Nova wants any chance of getting Wells Fargo for the NCAA tourney, today is an absolute must win. For them to get Wells Fargo they have to be a 1 seed AND be ahead of Duke. I think like what was it 5 years ago, the committee wouldn't put Nova in Wells Fargo as a 2 seed.

Let's have some pre-game fun here before the Baylor slugfest.

17%? I think they beat you Chap.....at the very least make you feel very uncomfortable.

Xup, yeah. Not feeling super confident in their house. I think the 4 point spread might be low. Need to snap out of that syracuse shooting slump. Defense has been better though. Go Cats!

I'd stop short of saying "must win" but it would certainly help. The Big East is setting up nicely to give them plenty of opportunities, but they'd have to dominate to get a 1 if they don't win today.

Yeap. Only 3 Wells Fargo games this season for this reason. This crazy road-heavy schedule may blow up in our face.

I must apologize in advance, because I may end up using profanities if Nova doesn't win....

The problem is not just Nova taking losses, but we've had donated trophy wins to 3 other 1 seed candidates.
