Oklahoma has a senior led team that has 4 guys that started over 100 games together.

Oklahoma's Shooters: The announcers stated they spent a lot days in the gym shooting at 6 am. They said that a few of the guys were even sleeping in the locker room and were told they could not do that.

Make your open shots and you have great chance of winning.

Jay Wright trying to get back to the final 4.

Amazing fact - Villanova has only had 3 head basketball coaches since 1973.

Nice win by Villanova. Did not shoot particularly well but still came out on top against a quality opponent. They shoot foul shots very well down the stretch of a game.

You guys ought to start showing The Nova a little love. The run of success they have had in basketball is something we can only dream about. While I am sure they also recruit hard and push to the limit, they seem to keep their noses pretty clean as well. They play an excellent brand of team basketball that I would think most would appreciate. Three guys lead the team in scoring last nigh with 13 points. Last night they win a game against the top team with defense which I did not think they were capable of doing and a team like Kansas. Sure Oklahoma looks really strong but after last night I would not sell Nova short. They deservedly took heat for underachieving the last few years in the NCAA's but after last night that criticism is gone for awhile.

There is very little reason to change coaches when the program keeps winning.The hiring of Wright was a great decision for Villanova and very bad for Rutgers.

Yes...of course not changing a good thing is the right thing to do. So not sure if you're disagreeing or agreeing with me.

The impressive part of the stat is the exact opposite of our hiring at RU basketball to date...they have made good hires to begin with. That's the key.

I believe Pikiell is the beginning of reversing that trend

And btw - you know we tried to hire Wright and he opted for The Nova...so not really our 'decision'

Having the most wins of any D-1 Program in the country over the past 3 years is impressive

LMAO every time Raftery calls Jay Wright George Clooney.

I am going to give credit to Nova. I was critical of them all year. They peaked at the right time while others had peaked long ago. They were awesome against Miami and they didnt play well at all vs Kansas but gutted it out. Kansas was simply uninspiring last night and once again it seems like Bill Self does less with the most talent once we get into the tournament. He is great at keeping his program ranked in the top 5 every year but his tourney record does not match the Kansas success in regular season. Yes he won a national championship..only one and made I think another appearance in the finals but somehow I think the Kansas fans must be disappointed to given how they do in regular season

I don't think this is that talented a Kansas team-----certainly solid but none of the upperclassmen are high end draft choice types. Ellis is a late 1----no better than Ochefu IMO------Hart the best prospect on the floor.

Zero points from the bench----Nova got great play from Bridges and Reynolds.

17 TO's------you'll never win that way.

Kudos to Nova----best of luck to them----they'll need it against the Sooners.

As to Self-----what makes a great coach-----12 consecutive titles in a Power 5 conference.

That's a record you'll never see duplicated-----he's one of the best.

no doubt his regular season dominance makes him great BUT the disappearing act by Kansas in the NCAA tournament is another issue
