Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

2/24/19
17 Villanova @ Xavier, 1:30, CBS - Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas
Line: Villanova -6

Obviously, history is against us, but what the hell - a national game on CBS and Musketeers pride:

Here kitty, kitty.

Doubt Quinelry sees the floor again after hoisting up that 3 when they could have held for last shot

what an atmosphere, X.

NO ONE wants to see X in March, that is for sure.

Boy, I wish we played like this all year.

That was fun.

Good putty-tat.

Seriously, it is just flat out almost impossible to kill Nova's mojo. That took a huge effort on the parr of Xavier to stay in it in the first half every time Nova responded to retain the lead.

Xavier's clearly not the same terrible team from beginning of the season. Booth and Paschall looks spent. I do want to win vs. Marquette and rest of the season, but I wouldn't mind if Nova got knocked out in the 1st round of the BET.

That’s a good point. The extra rest before the NCAAs could do wonders for them. People talk about how nova is down this year but if Paschall and Booth are both hot you could win a couple of games in March and then you never know

Villanova crapping out. What the heck is going on.

At this point, they are losing enough games to hurt the other teams that previously beat em.
