Villanova was out of this world and just think Mike Rice was among the first be recruit Hart and Jenkins. Early on it looked like we had a good chance to land those guys.

yes thats true...in alternate reality where Eric Murdock was either never hired or payed hush money to go away or generally wasnt a douchebag, Rice very well may have landed those guys

My 11 and 9 year old asked me if it was ok to become Villanova fans tonight and are calling our friend for autographed jerseys.

RU can be like Nova. It's a matter of the administration and alumni stepping up. It seems the administration is starting to do the right thing. Will the alumni?

Do I really have to root for North Carolina to win another basketball championship? Though it would be hilarious for Mark Emmert to hand over his most prized trophy, then give them huge penalties down the road

The under over dropped to 144 and I took the over. Last Nova bucket did it ! Laying the 2.5 turned out to be child's play.

Stunning, dominant performance. Someone text me biggest margin in Final 4 history. Is that true? Cats are peaking but so are Cuse and Carolina. Should be interesting.

I'm only rooting for Nova cause my dad has them winning it all, which will get him some $$ in a tourny pool. Other than that, screw them. While Wright has done an outstanding job, he's still a jerk. Yes, sour grapes!!!!

Surpassed Mich St W margin over Princeton (36 pts) to set new record. Also #2 FF shooting % at 71.4. #2 behind their own % vs Georgetown in the Finals. Talk about peaking.

I am rooting for a black hole to open up at center court at tipoff.

The previous biggest margin in the Final Four, was 36, Princeton over Wichita State in 1965. Princeton had a player named Bill Bradley. Michigan State (with Magic) beat Penn by 34 in 1979 (should have been us in that game)

V for Villanova...V for Victory...bababah bah bah bahbabbabah
They absolutely destroyed Oklahoma and completely shut down Hield. I believed they would win this game, but no one could predict this kind of beat down. Nova played a nearly flawless game. I think they have been the hottest team in the tournament by far and I will not be surprised one bit if they win it all.

Villanova is a bad matchup for most teams because they have so many players that can score.Hart is their best player because he can make the difficult shot and also is a very good defender.

I used to be big fan of Carolina Blue and would always root for them when playing Duke. But given their list of unpunished transgressions how anyone could be rooting for them Monday night is puzzling to me.

Msu won by 34 points, was not sure of margin. Should have been RU instead of Penn.

Thank goodness it's not Villanova vs Syracuse.

Dont think I will ever get over seeing a sea of Nova fans wearing navy blue shirts with the big V on the front at the RAC during our BE days.

I can easily root for the Tarheels on Monday.

Especially true given that Nova lost by 20+ points to OU on a neutral court earlier in the season!

No thanks. I couldn't care less who wins now, to be honest, but I'm sure as hell not congratulating them let alone rooting for them. [sick]

NC amd Nova won't get any congratulations from me for making the Championship game. Syracuse wouldn't have either, but Oklahoma would have me wishing them well if they made it to the final.

As it is, dislike Nova a little less than I do the Book Worms from Chapel Hill
