Villanova at Notre Dame
We want Nova to win this one, which would probably knock ND off the bubble and would definitely make our win against Nova look all the better.
Baylor at Texas
We want Baylor to win. Texas looks safe for now, but losing this one at home and then taking a likely loss at Kansas in the B12 finale would put them at 8-8 in the B12 and probably make a first-round exit in their conference tourney a bad situation, despite having won 6 RPI top-50 games.

Back and forth game early. Reynolds and Ayers shooting it well from 3.

Nova v ND tied up at the half.
Dear god, Digger should never dance again. The teaser for the plays of the week kept showing what looked like a sweet block by a Hoya (Sims?) Didn't see it in the montage though.

Wow now 5-6. Although just heard a commentator say "Reynolds - always under control."
HA.

why do all the players that play with a lot of "heart" always seem to be white?

'Nova up 8 with 8 minutes left. This is a much better looking team than the one we saw.

'Nova up 8 with 8 minutes left. This is a much better looking team than the one we saw. Oh course, it's much easier to look good on offense when the other team has no idea how to play defense. The commentators were surprised by how few fouls ND had committed...it's hard to foul when you're not close enough to touch your man when he shoots... |

The free throw discrepancy between the home and away teams looks like us @ Nova.
Agreed that ND is just not playing D...

Also good news - looks like Cahill is one of the refs. Means he probably won't be working our game tomorrow, right?
I don't really want to see GM pick up a T on the bench again.

NOVA just opened a CAN on ND. Stupid Irish (the team, not the people).

Yeah, this one over. 70-57 'Nova with 2:30 left.
Should 'Gody win POY? Great stats -- as good (better?) than last year when he won but his team is awful and NIT-bound. I say no.

I never thought I'd say this but... thanks Villanova. In the last three days you have done exactly what I wanted you to do. I appreciate it.
Now can I go back to hating them?

Great result for us. Now, hopefully Texas can continue their free-fall.
