Villanova (3/21/21)

[CMJ]

Biggest game in the History of Western Civilization.

[Coach Andy Mac]

Exciting matchup against former national championship team no?

[CMJ]

Nova has won 3 titles, two in the last several years.  I'd say they are a blue blood at this point.

[BillySee58]

Opportunity to play for a Sweet 16 birth against the team that has won 2 of the last 4 national titles. Bring it.

[greenminer]

I'm not ready to say 'nova is a blue blood, but they are very close.  The next tier below BBs.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Winnable game. Let's take care of business boys!

[UNTLifer]

JJ better win his next game because it would suck to fly to Houston, fly back to Indy and then have to walk home.

[greenminer]

Has anyone seen a tip-off time? I get home @ 3PM.

I am done doubting this team.  We basically beat Purdue at home and Hamlet is a beast.

If we don’t win JJ will be counting on his stimulus check for income

It's iffy, but since they won their first title in the mid 80's I'm gonna say they are.  I know they haven't had sustained success until Wright showed up, but they did have some good teams back in the day under Rollie Massimino.

If we lose Johnny Jones will have to eat every green burrito at Buccee's

Jim Nantz calling a UNT game.  Greatness.

We need to make sure Avery Johnson gets on the call too!

Hell yes Avery is the best!!

This is a very winnable game.  Nova looked flat last night and they’ve  been lackluster all year.  Plus Gillespie is out.  More importantly, as UNT showed the country last night, they’re the real deal.  Jay Wright is concerned this morning.

Going to be interesting in my house tomorrow.  My wife is a Nova alumn and huge fan.  Hope my marriage survives this. 🙂

I actually thought Nova looked really good considering Gillespie was out.  Still, I agree this is winnable.  Nova should be favored, but this is a much more even much up on paper than Purdue was (to me).  I give us a 40-45% chance to win this, practically a tossup.

I think it all depends on Grant’s ability to bring the team back down from the clouds and focus.

Thanks @BillySee58, i will be able to watch.

i know he’s very endearing to a lot of Dallas, but I think AJ is awful on our broadcast teams. Am I alone on this hill? I’m not shedding a tear that he’s sitting out the ‘nova game.

Fumbles for words, often throwing out garbage cliches that don’t feel well-placed at all.

no mention of Hamlet.

I only want Johnson to call the game because he's proven to be good luck.  He's a pretty mediocre color analyst - and I feel like I'm pretty easy on announcers compared to most.
