Yeah I thought their 1st weekend was really easy as I mentioned probably 90-100 pages ago in this thread, Iowa or Temple didn't really have a chance against them. Didn't expect them to crush Iowa like they did but it really wasn't surprising. I thought Miami would have given them trouble but they shot the lights out most of that game.

Right, if enough shots are falling Nova can beat anyone, and so far that's been the case. The question is can they advance if they aren't red hot? Say shooting 50-52 percent instead of 60 percent. Much below 50 is probably the end.

Also would help if some of the KU non-stars came back to earth (Lucas, Mason, Mikhaliuk). Those guys can disappear but they've had some big contributions this month.

Nova runs an intricated, complex offense. It's hard to game plan and prepare for, which is why they struggled against well coached teams and conference foes.

Thankfully for nova, I wouldn't say they're matched against a greatly coached squad today. With that said, there isn't a team left in the tourney that they will likely face that isn't capable of beating them even if they shoot 50-60%. Real good teams remaining, especially on left side of the bracket.

Oregon should double Buddy all night. Force Woodard to beat them. Boucher is so vital today.

118-1 since they lost to Notre dame in 2013 and none of those wins have been by single digits.

They are pretty good. It really isn't even fair to normal college girls basketball players.

Coach K admits to lying. Doesn't admit that he should've focused on his own scumbag player who spent the season trying to hurt fellow players.

The way he answered you could tell he was lying and he basically admitted he did even at the PC. I think it just caught him off guard at the way the line of questioning went into basically being a thanks to him for the advice.

It probably should have stayed between them and he probably shouldn't be trying to teach Altman's team.
