Nova Report
Hi Boys! The Cats are back to defend their 2018 Basketball Championship. Of course, it?s a daunting task! Especially....if you lost four players, basically, in the first round to the NBA. I?m pleased to report that they are ALL doing quite well.
This year, Nova will be dominated by Sophomores and Freshmen. They DO have Seniors Phil Booth and Eric Paschall to lead the charge AND they grabbed fifth year Senior Joe Cremo (a consummate scorer) from Albany. Jahvon Quinnerly is the best freshman guard in college so, don?t cry for the Cats. They are ranked from 6-9th with many pundits having them making it to the Final Four. Nonetheless, it won?t be easy for their Kiddie Corps to adjust to the physicality of College as well as the defensive demands of Jay Wright. So, expect them to struggle early on.
Tonight they play Morgan State in their newly refurbished Cat House. They should beat these guys by 50 and I do not believe there will be a line on the game. So, I will be just watching to see how the youngsters play against experienced guards of Morgan St. As an FYI, Morgan State would hit less threes than Old Man River.
