Prediction Time - Nova

[Phantom Warrior]

Had Nova beaten Butler and remained at #1, I think MU would have had a decent shot at pulling off the huge upset. But I think the odds of that happening now have plummeted. Nova is going to be like the proverbial angry beat that just got poked.

Someone mentioned that the present senior class at Nova - Hart & Jenkins - has never lost two straight games in their four years there. That is pretty incredible.

Bottom Line: Nova: 86 - 71 over MU

[Nukem2]

Think it will be closer than that.

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

I think we cover. Villanova 82-75 Marquette.

Nova by 9

Just hope that we still have a puncher's chance at the last TV timeout. Glad the game is at Wells Fargo and not their campus bandbox. I'll go Nova 77, MU 70.

Nova by 10 plus

Unfortunately, I think this could get ugly. Villanova too good and motivated. Hope I look like a naysaying fool afterwards.

I now feel it. Wojo gets his first signature win. MU 77 -Nova 73

[Phantom Warrior]

I'll have whatever Halo is smoking. :D

You could drive a truck through that opening! Too easy.

Actually, thought the Mayor or Caribou would get there first.

Listen...if DuhPaul can go into Nova's bandbox and lose by 3(with good chances to win it several times), MU BETTER not get rolled. Had Nova beat Butler I'd pick MU for many different reasons, but because Butler decided to wi n that game, MU's chances became a lot less. Not impossible, if they can slow Hart down somehow, then you take your chances.

Game just got tougher as no Duane Wilson again.

I resemble that remark...

What's the over/under on Len Elmore's use of the word "tough" or "toughness" in the second half?
