Nova Report
Final Four! Cats are -5/154.5 vs the cream of the Big 12, the Kansas Jayhawks. Many analysts say these two clubs are mirror images of each other. For sure, both clubs have players from their game of 2 years ago when Nova beat Kansas in the Elite Eight....and long memories.
My biggest concern is the pace of the game. Kansas played best in OT last out vs Duke at a slower pace. If they elect to go that route, they probably could exploit the Cats with Azubuike down low. If they run, I think Nova blows them out. So, it shall be interesting to see which way Bill Self goes. My fellow Alumni all think because Nova shot so poorly vs Texas Tech that they will bounce back here and shoot lights out. Another reason why I think Self will test running vs Villanova then slow it down.
The Cats won?t care what the pace of play is. They, to a man, believe they will Weather any storm Kansas throws at them. So do I. Obviously, with this game, objectivity is out the window. I am on Villanova-5. Bring on Sister Jean!
