I just saw this, sorry if it's old news.

...didn't hear the term much during the regular season...anyone know the origin/author?....

A panel of ESPN college basketball analysts has predicted that Nova will lose every game that they play next year. Not surprised.

I ordered a 4T and they accidentaaly sent me a 3T with it. Fanatics told me to keep it Anyone have 3T little cutie that would like this? It is Navy blue with National Champs on front with a "V"

This doesn't include any of the private schools in the Baltimore area

Kids I like from a Nova perspective:

Dre Perry-JR Poly. Worth looking at. Probably not a starter at our level but is a tough rugged combo. Love him!!! Probably goes A10 and does work when they play the big boys

Demetrius Mims-soph Poly. Big (6-4ish) very athletic guard. HM potential player

Rasheed Brown-soph Lake Clifton. Tough typical rugged Baltimore combo guard. Straps on Defense. really good scorer. Could end up a tougher, better Reggie Bryant. Really good student. High hoops IQ for a young player

Antwan Walker-SR HD Woodson. Totally slept on recruit..I guess because DC Publics have been down for a few years. Some bigger schools are now interested but they want him to prep so they can track him more. Just an athletic, tough foward. Probably more of a depth guys for us based on the 1 time I saw him, bu he can play at our level. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of a kid like Jamal Olasawere who got some late HM interest but went to LIU and starred for 4 years. Dropped 20 vs KY in the Dance one year. If he preps, would be a nice forward in the mix after Jenkins and Hart leave.

Kiyon Boyd-SO HD Woodson. REALLY good and talented. Reminds me a lot of an Austin Freeman type 2/3 Big solidly built kid already. I would be shocked if he doesn't end up HM.

Chris Lykes-JR Gonzaga. Well my feeling have been known about him for a couple years now. Can be a 4 year starter even at the HM level if he picks the right school and a secure coach. Tough because EVERY bad game he has will be blamed on his height and fanbase panic will set in. Guys like Arch, Dunn, DSR,...and plenty of other bigger guards have had abysmal games in their careers and it gets chalked up as a bad game. Every bad game Lykes has will, to fans, be proof that the team needs a bigger guard. Sad, that he probably won't be allowed to just have a bad game at the HM level. But, I'm sure if he chooses to go the HM level, he realizes this.

Luka Garza-JR Maret. Another kid I really like and have since he was a frosh. I would imagine adding Painter probably shoots down any interest in Garza.

Prentiss Hubb-JR Gonzaga. Funny because he has more solid and deeper HM interest than Lykes does. I don't think he is even 70% of the player Lykes is, but he fits the Johnny Bravo suit

this one is a bit tedious to put together - but it is done now. Enjoy:

...I just received mine today and they are terrific! Made and sold by Tervis (who is the mfg for many "decorated' tumblers and mugs on the market), they are American made and are perfect for cold (or warm if you prefer) beverages. My wife and I used the regular Villanova "V" glasses and mugs all throughout the Tournament, it was part of our superstition thing. Here's a link if you're interested:

kicking myself that I forgot to record the game while in Houston...has anyone found an upcoming replay? I am searching and cannot find one.

Pete

1. Villanova (40-0)
2. Duke (39-1)
3. Kentucky (vacated)
4. Kansas (34-1, first round loss)
5-10. Who cares

...move over Indiana...one posters Top Teams for next year on National Board thread...looked at his profile and doesn't look like he's a Nova guy/Ball alt...might be playing with the Board but I don't mind...

NC game is on CBS Sports. Mandatory watch, right? Looks like I picked the wrong week to try to get to bed early. It's 7-7. Hope this goes our way.

That on my 1st drive to work Wednsday after I got back from Houston there was barely any sports talk radio talking about Nova. And since then I have literally heard 1 caller, today driving home, mention the team. I get the Flyers talk given the playoffs and now Mr. Snider but for weeks I have heard the same ole Eagles talk. QB or not QB, Which QB, Stanley, Elliott etc...could you imagine if the Eagles won the Super Bowl, we would talk about it for months. We would rehash the game, the team, the team next year etc... Much like us die hards are doing with Nova. My point is do this many people not care about the fact that Nova/Philly won a national championship in a big time sport. I mean what am I missing on this. Take being a grad out of it, I would just think that the Homer sports fan in general would be a little more PSYCHED about what just took place, especially in this blue collar, effort and heart matters of a city. Did no one see the grit, heart and shear hard work that our team displayed. Again, I'm just confused. I must be missing something here.

Someone make me feel better about this please.

Saw it on a hoops site Before I post it, anyone want to guess what spot we came in. 5 big east teams were on it; feel free to guess where they came in as well.

Some pretty amazing stuff especially when you see it all in one place.

called it a black eye on Philadelphia per Jensen

Lot of speculation/discussion on here a few weeks back about the majority of the games being played at WF next year and the Pavilion being renovated.

Any update - anyone hear anything else? Are we road warriors next year?

If anybody finds high-quality printable images from Monday night online somewhere, please post here. Would like to frame an image or two (or 50).

named Suns player development coach

It's a shame our team had to be associated with this shit show yesterday.

Stay classy, Philly

Great, Bill Self got another top 10 guy....

BUT MY GOD......

Can they get the kids to at least say the name of the schools correctly.....????

"Next year I will attend the Kansas University."

Jeez oh man.... I done gone to play hoops at North Carolina University...

I gonna play at the University of Duke.


So freaking embarrassing. Its a media frenzy - these guys have AAU scumbags hanging all over em - at least proof read their declaration tweets!


And believe me I know - 15 years ago a very high profile Nova recruit called us - The University of Villanova.
However he ended up with a graduate degree and it prob one of the smartest players to wear the uni in the modern era.
