The NCAAA tourney is a different beast. We had that game won and were handling the pressure while hitting our free throws. In no way a collapse. Nova took and hit 3 very tough 3’s at the very end of that game. This is the tourney though, None of these guys want to go home and Nova is filled with some great offensive weapons.

If Nova doesn’t hit those last few 3 pointers we may win that game going away. There was also a sequence at the end of the NOVA game where we get called for that ridiculous foul behind the 3 point line, Turner… Read more »
LupusBeowulf They had two unlikely 3 points falling in at the end of game. you can’t make every one of them. It’s not luck. it’s hard work paying off.

Great game, but let’s not act like we finished well.
They had a wide open 3 at the end on blown defensive coverage where both players (Trevor and Lennard?) backed off the shooter…
