All our teams will be playing in Pburgh onSat. Too bad we can not make it out there. Hopefully the Cats destroy the Pack.

LSU scored 5 points, and still almost won.

We would have trashed them...missed last 12 fg attempts and about last 6 fts....NCS a Much harder match up...won't help me sleep

We deserve any kind of overrated talk that has been talked about for how long now. I don't care who they beat or how they won, Villanova is flat-out better than NC St and has the chance to show it to the world on Saturday.

Did we recruit him? Why does his name sound so familiar? Was he a SteveT special?

EIGHT guys in double figures!!!

Amazing.

A lot of good players with no superstars.

Transferring from Syracuse. Any interest?

Ron Patterson also leaving.

I saw some scuttlebutt about the CAA on another site & a fan posted that Nova would be a Patriot League team if and when Coach Talley retired. Rationale was closer regional play & academics align with Colgate, Lehigh, Lafayette, Bucknell, Fordham, Georgetown, & HC

Do you ever think that is a possibility?

So the day starts with three 3-14s and a 2-15. Ugly. No games that will probably end up close until 2:40 (Butler-Texas)

gets 2 year extension at Happy Valley.................

PSU

...the announcers that next year the offense will be run through Danny O...is this believable...can't imagine him being that forthcoming now....

Grossly overrated!

Iowa St loses as 14 pt.favorite


Baylor as 9 pt.favorite


Kansas seeding was a gift at a 2 seed ands Texas didn't deserver a bid


Let's see how Sooners and Cowboys do

How sweet it is, so far, for the B.E.!!!

One at a time

I hope Jay calls off the troops----Tonite is perfection and grace[to paraphrase STEELY DAN]

Hi folks,

I just got home from NYC (awesome trip), but when I checked out my TV recorder, it did not capture the Villanova-Marquette Big East quarterfinals. Did anyone record the game?

Chat is live... .go 'Cats!!!

Nova VS Lafayette Game Chat

Keeps saying none of these games are upsets, Bilas asks him "so GA State is a better team than Baylor? UAB is a better team than Iowa St?" Seth then brought up Butler beating Texas. I think he's had too much coffee, he just won't shut up.

Wall Street Journal reviewed field going back to first 64 team field and selected the best game for that bracket/seed. Clips from each of the game are available on the website (link below). 3 Villanova games are listed among "the best". 'Cats are 2-1 in those games. They include a first round game (hint, it's not the win at Dayton that kicked off the 1985 run...so skip that one and save your mood), The Wildcats' 1985 game with GTown is another and the third is their Sweet Sixteen win over BC back in 2006.

Trivia on that 2006 game -- if you look closely at the portion of the clip that shows some of the overtime action you can spot a familiar face who now coaches in the Big East. When they showed him from behind he caught my eye. Small world.

WSJ's Bracket of Brackets

got a 2 year extension from Penn State.

Ace, EdMcM and I have two sets of two tickets in Section 234 ('Nova section).

We have one extra. It costs $162 for both sessions.
