Arizona playing for a 1 seed

Delivering an absolute beatdown of Cal - I know I know - Cal stinks

But High octane O and stingy stingy D.

Walton is using the entire game to completely campaign for them - how great they are playing - how great they are on the road - how the committee knows how great Az is at this point of the year -

The one saving grace is that when they put up their tourney resume their bad losses are really pretty poor - and their quality wins are 2 nice ones - Zags and Utah.

Nova needs to absolutely take care of business on Sat - It's a huge implication game.

RYAN ARCH..".....ONE OF THE BEST

LAST YEAR I THOUGHT RYAN GOT A BIT TOO MUCH CREDIT FOR THOSE TWENTY NINE WINS BY SOME ON THIS BOARD...AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER PLAYERS"..............THIS YEAR.....I DONT THINK HE GETS ENOUGH CREDIT......THIS KID IS ON HIS WAY TO BEING ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT POINT GUARDS IN THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM......THATS RIGHT......ALL TIME HISTORY.....A TRUE POINT GUARD........BETTER THAN GAEY MCLAIN......MALIK WAYNS....CORY FISHER ET ALL......THATS MY OPINION......HE IS ONE OF THE MOST MENTALLY TOUGH BASKETBALL PLAYERS IVE SEEN IN THIRTY YEARS AT NOVA.........MAYBE NOT THE MOST TALENTED.....BUT A FLAT OUT WINNER........HIS SENIOR YEAR WILL DETERMINE HIS LEGACY,,,,,BUT RIGHT NOW HE IS LIKE 58 AND SEVEN ,,,,,,OVER TWO YEARS,,,,,THAT IS SPECIAL......AND A GREAT KID...TO BOOT.

Shots Fired on the Seton Hall Board re: Burrs

Headed over to the Seton Hall board to bask in their misery a little bit and came across this gem:

"This guy is the Piratecrew version of wcburss on the Villanova board. Trying to be so moderate he ends up sounding like a moron." - SHUPirate08

Burrs, how do you feel about this? Not only are you getting jabs over here but now they're even giving it to you on the Seton Hall board. Rough man. Ball would be very pleased with this assessment that's for sure.

Anyone else have any opinions over here? Thinking this could start a lovely discussion. I know TJC should chime in.

Way OT: Singapore Xpat

I apologize for the OT thread, but my wife might have an opportunity to travel internationally for her job and Singapore would be one of her destinations that we could spend a few years at. I believe in the thread with "Jiggie" moving to London that someone said that he lives in Singapore with his wife and kids. If this was the right board (Could have been 4.6) that if you can shoot me an email, or just post about your experience, as from what I remember, it seemed pretty positive.

Anyway, I appreciate your insight and help.

Darrun Hilliard

You guys must watch this week's Inside Villanova Basketball. The piece on Hilliard is outstanding. Actually got me a little misty-eyed. He's a special kid and it shines a light on how special Jay Wright is as well. Really just makes me hope for a good March even more for Darrun and JVP.

why is espn's rpi and sos ratings different compared to other sites ??

Just a quick question for the number guys ?? I have noticed basically throughout the year that out of the 3 RPI sites
I follow Espn reports worse computer numbers compared to Cbssports.com and also Realtimerpi.com...I am sure their
are many more sites out their,,But between these 3 sites Espn reports much worse computer numbers for Villanova...

To keep it simple I just compared our 3 closest teams in RPI and SOS,,Also if available non conference SOS...

Espn has Villanova's RPI at 5 their SOS at 52 And their non conference SOS at 74 compared to:
Wisconsin RPI at 6 their SOS at 20 And their non conference SOS at 13
Duke RPI at 4 their SOS at 16 And their non conference SOS at 41

Cbs has Villanova RPI at 4 their SOS at 33 And their non conference SOS at 59
Wisconsin RPI at 6 their SOS at 17 And their non conference SOS at 12
Duke RPI at 5 their SOS at 13 And their non conference SOS at 32

Realtime Villanova RPI at4 their SOS at 32 They don't have any data on non conference sos
Wisconsin RPI at 6 their SOS at 16
Duke RPI at 5 their SOS at 15


So as you can see Espn has Nova lower in every category,,Compared to Wisconsin and Duke ??
Also i would like to point out that i am certainly not saying their is a Espn conspiracy going on !! As
you can see above none of all the 3 teams are exact,,I am just asking why Espn has Vllanova's computer
numbers lower compared to Cbs and Realtimerpi ??
