It'll get changed, I'm sure, but still hilarious

I don't really expect it to happen, but I hope Providence wins at Nova to better legitimize the regular season title. Winning by 2 games would sit a lot better then by percentage points given the situation.

I'd agree with you. And if Nova goes Nova on them and does to them like what they did to Creighton it would make it even worse.

I think the BET winner will be really the true winner this year

Congrats PC and fans.

Thanks Omaha, huge advantage with Nembhard injured. Big relief to get this. Amazing it took 42 seasons.

Providence has to be emotionally spent at this point.

Lol, I love you guys...

Yes, to satisfy a handful of fans who are obsessed with this, let's continue to play Al Durham with a sports hernia at Villanova... a team which took 1st place *last year* with an 11-4 record and a half-game behind Creighton, haha.

Of course Cooley will rest his players and not have it look like they got swept at full strength... is what a devil's advocate would suggest
Sure, resting up is wise, and Nova will gladly take the seeding boost!

I just want a shot at you guys at the Rock and without half our team in covid protocol

Lol...
After we beat Seton Hall on Dec 29th, the Pirates lost 3 days later to Villanova with *the exact same roster*...

I wasn't happy about that either. In hindsight, Willard should've followed the lead of other coaches and told the league he only had 6 guys to get both of the games cancelled. Our resume would look a lot nicer right now with 2 less losses and we wouldn't be facing a Wednesday night BET game.
