St Joes up 14 at Nova
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
They really did play well tonight.
This is what makes college basketball fun. St Joes has just flat out hustled Nova all night.
I love seeing a Nova crowd sitting on their hands.

Wonder how Drexel feels about that?
hmm...the vusports article I read talked about Nova returning to City 6 action, I guess Drexel isnt suppose to know yet
wrong BAC
“We were kind of at an inflection point with Big 5 basketball, with the national landscape of NCAA sports, what can we do to perhaps infuse some energy, some life and protect our brand of basketball,” Drexel athletic director Maisha Kelly said.
And no, Kelly said, Drexel didn’t want a series name change like some had suggested to the City Six.
“That’s the brand. It’s Philadelphia. It’s the Big 5,” she said. “It’s part of our story and history. So 100 years from now, when people say, why is it Big 5 when there are six institutions, we get to tell the first 68 years of the story of what it was and in 2023 it was Drexel arriving.”
Princeton came back to win by double digits on the road.
St. Joes coach is a NJ native and Rowan grad.
Billy is a good guy and great coach. Had some run ins with him on the court back in the day. Thought he would get the tap to take over Nova after Jay left.
You guys suck, lol - nobody could mention the final score and who won in the entire rest of this thread, making me look it up? SJ 78 - Novadbags 65. Nice. Where's NCAAball hiding right now?
Lmao at any Philly Big 5 school acknowledging Drexel. They're the nerdy outcast of the Philly schools.
Princeton still hasn't played a home game and they are undefeated.
Nova basically destroyed the Big 5 as we knew it. When the BE took off in the 80s, the Big 5 games were no longer competitive and the double headers at the Palestra were mostly empty for the games that didn't involve Nova. So then, the teams began to play Big 5 games at their home gyms. Only later in the 80s, when John Chaney took Temple to the top of the rankings was anyone else in the Big 5 and in the east generally, permitted to have televised games beyond the local Philly station(s?).
Well clearly Villanova isnt making out as great in the Big 5 this year, already 2 losses. Jay Williams isnt walking back into the Palestra
today. LOL
