Hopefully they will get an unexpected / fortunate bounce or two their way in the home stretch. They are deserving of at least better fate than they’ve experienced in conference so far.

I think their game plan from last night is going to be duplicated repeatedly the rest of the year. At least the hard hedge, blitzing, icing, or whatever the coaching jargon is for the aggressive double team of the ball handler in the ball screen situations(especially when it's Booth or Paschall). It's a high risk/high reward play, but it was very effective last night. Nova didn't move the ball well, neither was off the ball movement and floor spacing wasn't ideal either. Then when everything did work out effectively, Nova fail to knock down the ensuing open look.

Sounds like (on all the boards) that it was a hard fought game. Joseph hits those FTs and folks would be singing a different tune.
Congrats to Pillsbury and the Radnorites...good win. Sign of a good team when you can pull out the W on a bad playing night. Congrats Nova.
i?m still here, but have shut my trap after losing numbers 7 & 8. Looks bleak as hell from my seat, hoping for a little end of season run to squeak out a bid.
We need a better coach...too many bad breaks, coincidental injuries, bad end of ggame breaks, and no sense of urgency. I'd break open my bank and the CU endowment
for (in Order) Rick Pitino, Rick Barnes, Ben Howland, Tubby Smith, Thad Matta, and even Steve Lavin. Jays need so new blood and new coaching.
Good to see Gumby, Nova, Chesty, and Westy keeping the faith and posting. Only sport i continue to do is college hoops and when the Jays suck...my Spring ain't
so hot - regardless of what Paxentaney Phil says ( and its mid 70s down here, partly sunny most days.)
