UConn v Nova
- Thread starter BenEClone

Man I hope we beat UNC, because we matchup favorably with UConn.
Their defense relies on guard pressure/turnovers, which we handle very well. Their offense also runs through one(admittedly absolute stud) guy, which is why their offense has been wishy washy all season. No doubt if we get to the sweet 16 Napier likely goes off on us, but I guarantee they get way less points off TOs than they did against Nova tonight. I also read at some point midway through the 2nd half that Nova was 3/14 in the paint, and it was still a game. Yikes.
Only concern is that we have to play UConn in the garden. Although their fans didn't show too well to Buffalo which is very close to them as well.

Goddamnit. The path has lined itself with gold bricks, and in typical cyclone fashion we were delivered a swift kick the hangers right as we caught a glimpse of paradise.
It's like that one Meatloaf song, except instead of drawing first blood, a cop pulled up and blinded us with a flashlight with our pants around our ankles then calls our parents for being out after curfew. High school mang. not even once.

I was hoping for Villanova to pull it out. I honestly think with Georges we would have blown them out, and without Georges it still wouldn't have been close. We deserved as 2 seed over them for sure.
Yes. The selection committee ****ed us. Guess who doesn't get hurt if we do get that 2 seed.
I picked UConn over Villanova in all my brackets and never even thought twice about it. Nova was overrated all year.
Well by that sense, if we were seeded 2 instead of three, Kane would have broken his arm, right? Or maybe Ejim tore his ACL? Or maybe Niang still stepped on someone's foot going for a rebound and broke a bone in his foot.
Creighton twice made mince meat out of them, so, yes, they were overrated, and not top ten.
Since you're taking my post so seriously, let me answer your questions:
No, Maybe, Maybe.
No because it was a freak accident. You don't know it wouldn't have happened in another game. That only works if their guy intentionally hurt Niang
This is a weird conversation, but if we're going to have it. Game A: It happened or Game B: We don't know if it would happen. Give me game B.
Your post was the opposite of common sense. Don't play off poor critical thinking as common sense.
Jesus. No. Game B anything could happen. We won in Game A.

Oh I think I get it, you are worried about playing a 15 seed. Keep worrying about that. I'm worried bout winning a NC.
