Dislike of ‘Nova

I never disliked Villanova. Yes, 2016 was painful, but still Nova was one of those programs who boot strapped to a championship. However, this year, the freaking media is fawning over Nova calling them the best most stable program out there. Hello 14 straight league titles, Naismith, and if for a few plays Nova does make it to the 2016 FF. Why is the media full of such morons?

East Coast v Flyover Country?

Agree WSG, and btw Puke is my number 1 most hated, despised, wish they would be banned from ever competing again in the NCAA for this exact reason. Coach Alpahbet is a jerk and his whole program is full of entitled punks. I root for UNC and Roy over Puke, yes I know not popular, no matter what. Puke and Coach Alaphabet are Puke in my books are the worst thing since Moo, and actually I would root for moo over puke. I have a visceral dislike for puke and wish them no success ever. Nova is starting down this path.

Not unlike others dislike of us when we are successful.

Very true good Jayhawks Hoshi. Still, something about Coach K and Duke that gives me pause. I would like to rephrase and say I “DIsLIke PUke” in the strongest possible terms.

Its really not much more difficult than that. If your school is located east of Ohio you are just better, plain and simple. Much like the “best 16 seed ever”. Penn was a good team. Nova is a good team. But all galaxy? These are the same people who thought VA was the 1-1. VA beat up a relatively “down” ACC this year. Who did they play non con? Wisconsin, Monmoth, Lehigh, Hampton and they lost to West Virginia? Seriuosly, what kind of pub would even Korntucky or MI State get if they played that type of non con? Add to that Nova is located in the armpit of the east coast...Philthadelphia and you get best team ever pub.

Agreed, but the answer is that KU needs the beat Puke and those E. coast bums. The loss in 2016 to Nova was painful, they were not better, they stole the game because of shoddy officiating and lucky bounces. I don’t think KU loses a series against Nova in 2016. This is the deficiency of the NCAAT. Also Philly fans are total punks, no redeeming qualities at all.
