Cuse wins it on the offensive glass.  83-71  final

Nova wins outright.... Purdue win tomorrow... but with no Hummell, do they take over number 1? I don't think so, but it'll be fun to see how it plays out

i think its BS that if Purdue wins tomorrow and we arent #1...if we can beat MSU w/o hummel that should say something

Just hope Duke loses.

I tend to agree with you, they should be awarded the top spot until somebody knocks them down (with or without Hummell). But, I just can't see it happening

Vegas- Why does Cuse win the boards this yr when they were -9 last yr. Dante mean that much on the glass? He had the difference of 9bpoards.

Purdue- Not fair, but if you both win, thats what will happen.

And yes, even worst is going to be where Puke is after this

If you watched pitt go into nova and dominate the glass you'd probably feel differently.  Worst match up Nova can have is a team with size.  If they hit 45% from 3 they probably cover though but I like cuse.  GL

Cuse has such great length, which makes their zone tough to shoot over.  Nova struggles in tough road environments and the more I watch Nova the more I realize their game is dependent on three point shooting.  Think they may struggle some on offense and we know Nova will struggle stopping Jackson and Onoaku.  This is the biggest game of the year for The Orange, and I think they go off @ the carrier Dome.

Vegas- I watch every big Nova game.

I take it you mean when they just lost @ Pitt.

Now, they didn't box out and gave up 2nd chance pts, but they didn't get "killed" on the boards. I just checked and lost it 33-30.

Their size is not big down low but when you spread people out your guards gets a lot of rebs.

It just seems its the same old story of why people want to not respect this team.

I feel like it last yr all over again?

I just look at rebounding differently than you.  Pitt had 18 offensive boards and Nova had only 20 defensive boards.  That is awful.

Refs will be huge in this game.  If they let them get physical and keep the whistle in their pocket Nova has no chance

Bracks.....I am all over NOVA in this game...not touching the moneyline but I think it has a good chance..im just playin it safe witht the 5.....I see villanova exploiting the zone tonight...i really like the athleticism of reynolds, stokes, and fisher....they can all slash...attack the gaps of the zone....either get easy buckets for themselves ...or kick out and knock down the open 3....I think this zone will allow them to attack the offensive glass and get lots of second chance points.....scottie reynolds will have a biggg night tonight and nova will be all over and in rautins face tonight....i truly believe if you stop rautins you can beat cuse......wesley will get his and so will the bigs but I think if you can stop rautins tonight and keep him  to 10 - 12 pts nova will win this game...just take out one big piece of the cuse puzzle and it will change this team alot....rautins is a shooter and doesnt usually try and creat for himself off the dribble...he is the one guy I would try and shut down tonight....if they do    they win....BOL BRACKS

GO NOVA

As I said, 2nd chance pts. But still with that, Nova gave that game away.

Btw- I bet Pitt that game. I am just saing, Nova was the reason they lost.

gabs- Drive the lane and kick. I know its a different team, but Wright figured a way to beat it last yr, we'll see. GL

how can the rank team be overtaken the fourth rank team, if both win......in any kind of race, the one in front running finish that way...so in god's green earth can syracuse over pass the boilers then they out in front?   Because the media think so, wow.

Naturally, if the Boilers lay an egg tomorrow, I point is mute.  But, if Purdue wins, they are Number One..............

SYRACUSE IS THE BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY HANDS DOWN...

Larry Bird would have a tough time beating that zone.
