BC will be eliminated today.ESPN is just doing their part to hype public opinion.BC will play poorly,as they are overdue to do today,Nova will explode on them,as their lackluster performance last weekend indicates a breakout game today.Please note,I am not a fan of either team,this is just an obvious play to an experienced handicapper.Don't give me any sis-boom-bah-baloney from ESPN.Take 'Nova-2-.No gl will be required.
Besides a narrow victory over AZ, Nova beat up #16 seed Monmouth...not an overly impressive win either.
How can everyone be so sure Nova will come out tonight and hit their perimeter shots like they need to in order to win this game. I don't know...just an inclination here, but BC will give them a game, if not win.

I have not listened to espn all wk but I like BC, maybe they are right. If I go by the two consensus sites that I look at, these people are not influenced,the money seem to be on Nova.
Interesting game. 2 different styles. My opinion really doesn't matter as I am lucky I can pick my nose right now. I should be posting to provide a fade for you all.
Anyways, the game that sticks out in my mind is the one Nova played against Pitt. Similar styles for BC and Pitt....both physical. Nova was out-rebounded by 12 boards and also allowed 12 offensive boards. They also shot only 35% from the field. Grant it Ray was knocked out, but in order for Nova to win tonight they better hope they shoot better and have the refs call a finese game. On the flip side, can BC defend and handle the guards? I look for Nova to try and force the tempo with some pressing. I don't feel they want to get into a half court game. BC appears to be a media darling right now.
Tough call either way as one obviously can make valid points for each. Good luck to all with your decision.

I just jumped in on BC....couldn't help it. Don't like the fact that all the ESPN bozo's are on BC also, but I just see too many solid factors in their favor from a handicapping standpoint. GL!!
Right side, talk to me about those solid factors pointing to BC, will you? I'm on Nova tonight, just think they have the greyhounds to outmatch BC, some tough kids over there as well. Love taking the better team vs. a team the public has fallen in love with. Would love to hear the opposing factors
Guys you can beat yourself to death with reasons or excuses at this time of year.........but it boils down to what's in your gut. Yes, I love B. Coll. and think they have the toughness and coach to make it to the final.
