Elite 8 : 3-26

[Marat]

What's the rooting interest between Nova and Houston? Big East rival or Carlton's Cougars?
This is one difficult for me. The winner will get a shot at winning it all. Not sure if I want to see Nova grabbing another banner, but will kinda of help validate how we played them the past 2 games. If Houston wins then we will not be the only team from AAC to win it all .

Houston all day. I want to see Carlton with a championship ring. Kid gave everything to this program.

 

[navery12]

Easy one for me, Nova

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Gotta root for Josh

Villanova's fourth title would tie us, so no thanks

i know it wasnt the question but better Nova than KU. gives the BE some shine if nova wins.

houston winning wouldnt annoy me as much since theyve already announced theyre leaving the aac and aresco cant gloat about it w/ a straight face.

Everyone already views Nova as an elite program. I don't think them winning again would really change the way people view the conference.

I honestly don't care who wins but I think it's the game of the tournament so far.

Hopefully we wouldn't be tied for too long, with the huskies pulling ahead again soon enough.

Anyways, a 4th title for Nova would arguably give them the greatest championship run ever, with titles coming in 2016, 2018, and 2022. Better for them to win than Duke, UCLA, UNC, or Kansas.

PC vs Nova what's the choice?

That’s why I’m looking forward to it. I for once would be happy for either team advancing. And that game is going to be a chess match between two incredible coaches and players leaving everything on the floor. It’s a not miss game.

That's a tough one. At that juncture I go PC

I admire Houston's grind and defense but don't love watching it. Nova is too deliberate also, yet I know and respect most of their players. The 4th championship tying UConn sets up not to diminish UConn's accomplishments, but as a motivator and potential epic rivalry going forward. First one to get a 5th wins - let's go.

That is what makes Nova a very tough matchup for Houston. Arizona liked to play very fast, and it's easier for a slow team to dictate tempo. Nova will be just fine playing at that pace.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Nova only bc I have money on them making the Final Four.

But I mainly just want Duke to lose. So…Woo Pig Sooie!!!

Also gives UConn more incentive to get #5 asap.

Edit: should've read @Dogdeacon reply first. Exactly my thoughts.

Nova is Big East, We want the BE to be the best conference. it validates us and increases the public perception of the quality of the BE. Every win in the NCAA brings in more shares for the conference.

 

[gtcam]

Houston all the way for Josh and Kelvin. Would love to have him coach UConn. If They reach final four I think Josh may be the 1st player with UConn ties to reach consecutive appearances

Then let it be PC (biting my tongue) I don’t want Jay tying JC and Nova tying UConn

 

[Scoe]

The team that wins.

Shaheen flexing on everything with 5 subs

 

[gtcam]

Officiating this tournament has been so uneven and quite frankly borderline horrible. The last charge call on St Pete’s was ridiculous

Hope to see Nova monkey stomped
