Also, I feel like Yarou has been at Nova for about 9 years.

MCW pisses me off. Enough with the 1-on-1 stuff.

Well, that was a comedy of errors by Syracuse. SMH. Nice win for 'Nova.

As Twitter just said (forget which analyst). Last Sunday Nova was playing in the CBI. Tomorrow they are playing in the NCAA Tourny. Huge week for them.

I haven't seen one Louisville game this year without some statement to the effect of "Siva is a senior, he needs to be smarter" being made.

He's going to end up killing them in the tournament.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo Villanova is 1st unranked team since Ball State (4 Kansas, 3 UCLA) in Nov. 2001 to win back-to-back games vs Top-5 teams (h/t @EliasSports).

BONZI WELLS!!!!!! That was an AWESOME Maui Invitational back in 2001.

EDIT: cause Im retarded. Bonzi was there in like 1998 I think. But that was still an awesome tourney.

3 in a row. They are primed for an early exit upset. Although, if they keep playing like this, maybe they will be the team PULLING the upset lol.

3rd straight loss for Louisville. 5 of the top 9 have lost in the past 4 days.

If Louisville doesn't watch it, there won't be an early upset because they won't be favored. I said it all during the summer though, if they were a preseason top 3 team, CBB is weak. CBB is definitely weak, but they are also not nearly a great team by any means. They do NOT have the talent like some of the upper tier teams and have some serious flaws in capabilities.

NIU is terrible. Their 4 first half points is a shot clock era record low. They broke the previous record of 5...which they set themselves earlier this season. Lol.

Just an FYI...

Northern Illinois sets a shot-clock era record with 4 points in the first half. The previous record holder...Northern Illinois with 5 points earlier this season. At one point in the first half, extending to the 2nd half, I saw the following tweet:

WindhorstESPN
: Update: Northern Illinois now has missed 33 shots in a row, 0-of-19 on 3's.
:o

Epic.

South Carolina crushing Arkansas in Columbia, up 23 with a minute left. Hogs were favored by 4.
Iowa State beats Kansas State in Ames, second tough loss of the week for Bruce Weber.
