What a block

Nova definitely isn't making shots like they were against Kansas.  Great D by Michigan so far.

If officials still called offensive fouls, Brunson would have at least 2. He lowers his shoulder and drives through people almost every time he touches it.

Di Vincenzo really got Nova going during that little stretch.  Michigan needs to stay close during this last segment before the half.

Called one right after I posted. Should have said something earlier.

Fun game

That should have been goaltending...hit the backboard first

Nova seems unbeatable

Well it was interesting for 15 minutes.

 Game is over.   Nova has it in the bag now.

Another big ten choke job.

I’ll call all 3 of these

23-7 run after Michigan looked like they were in control.  

Better make a run early in the 2nd half or it's lights out.

It was below the rim.

At what point do you make someone else score?

Nova is just too good. Not sure who would’ve been able to beat them. Virginia? That’s about all I can think of. And maybe X because of familiarity.

I don’t know. Nova just keeps getting better and better. X won the league didn’t they?

Nova doesn't have any seniors that actually play.  Bridges, Spellman, or Brunson gonna leave, or are they gonna bring back their entire team?

Nova waxed Xavier both meetings

Nova deserved to win. THey were the best team this year. Won every tourney game by double digits. One of the better Title teams that I can remember. The Kentucky team with AD and '09 UNC were up there, too.

X actually did, but only cause Nova had injuries. And yeah, the 2 games weren’t close, but 3rd time could be different. Conference games are always toss ups. That’s the only thing I can think of for Nova not winning it all this year. 

order has been restored...now, on to football...

Anyone see Jay Wright jumping ship to the NBA? I can see him wanting that challenge.

Please come to the Cavs if so.  Also, I pissed off my MSU grad buddy by stating that Wright is officially better than Izzo.

I’m not even sure Izzo is the best coach in the B1G anymore. 

Also, Wright is due for a raise.

In one of those Nova was unconscience from 3 in the first half hitting over 10 and go in up 20 plus.  Then they went just as cold in the second and X got within a score a couple times.   

Anyone catch the NIT?   What you think of the different rules?  I sort of like the 4 qtrs and the extended 3 pt
