Dang Doyel. You're talking straight and making sense again. Is a comet hitting the Earth tomorrow or what? I appreciate your insight into the Kansas-Villanova game. Nova doesn't have the horses or the guns as they ride into this late game showdown with the Kansas Jayhawks in Detroit Friday night. Villanova is a good team and no disrespect meant to them. Its just looking like this Kansas may fill a 20 year itch and win it all. Rock Chalk Jayhawks!

While I agree that Kansas will likely win, at this point in the Sweet 16 it's anyone's game. This article looks like a jinx waiting to happen.

GO BADGERS!!!

Just hope I get a chance for a big "F-U" for Doy(toy)lette Friday night.  How 'bout some lobbying to get ESPN to cover the NCAA's.  Look, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNClassic, ESPNnews.  Why, we could be watching five different games at once, instead of this flippity-flop garbage CBS-ucks shows.  Plus, what could be better than some Dickey V?  Go back to the sewer.

Nova has no chance in this game unless KU shoots like 28% and i don't see that happening. I would love to see ESPN cover the tourney so we could at least watch 2 different games if nothing else, however i couldn't stand listening to Dicki V suck up to all the ACC schools the whole tourney(even though this year that wouldn't have lasted too long). Anyway Hawks cruise to the elite 8 for the 5th time in 7 years, Go Hawks!!!!!!!!!!

Is it game time already!!  I can't take this waiting anymore!!  The only bad thing is that Michigan State is going to get priority over the KU game most likely here in Chicago.  Looks like a bar for me.  Man this sucks, having beers at a bar after work on Friday watching KU win?!?  I can't think of a better Friday.....

And, they should rule in this one, Mark Staff. 

I am a huge Nova fan and it will be very difficult for Villanova to beat Kansas.  Although I will be pulling for them, Kansas needs to lay an egg to lose.   

That being said, there is absolutely no pressure on Nova, all the pressure is squarely on the Jayhawks.  They should win by at least 10. 

Regardless of the outcome, Nova will be a clear preseason top 10 team next year, no doubt. 

Good Luck and remember it is March, crazy things happen this time of year, like back in 1985!!

Go cats

I am not sure if Nova is a top top team next year. Reynolds might be getting paid to play basketball next year. He is playing so well in the tournament that his draft stock is rising while guys like Eric Gordon are falling off. Regardless, I would like to see the Wildcats pull off a win. It would be a great story since they were one of, if not THE last team in. Should Kansas win this game, and by all accounts they should, the potential match-up with the red hot Tarheels has me giddy as a school girl.

Good assessment here Doyal...I suppose you have never watched this tournament before in your life. Why do writers continue to dribble out articles about how teams can't win. Nova is tested night in and night out in the Big East all year, this Kansas team will not intimidate them. Is Kansas more talented? Yes, that's obvious...but what is so shocking about a Big East team beating Kansas. Don't get so obsessed like everyone else Doyal with the seedings. Somebody decides to put a number 12 next to Villanova and now they're Cinderalla. Don't get so obsessed about the seeds people! Kansas is in for a battle.

Don't get so obsessed like everyone else Doyal with the seedings.

Not once did Doyel say that KU will win because they are a #1 seed. KU is going to win because they are strong in every area that Villanova has a weakness. KU is bigger, faster, stronger, deeper, more experienced, ... get the point?

Did you read this article or just start griping when you read the first line? Give me two good reasons that Villanova can beat KU, besides KU forgetting to go to the arena and KU forgetting to take the game seriously.

I mentioned that Kansas is obviously more talented than Villanova...my point was that if Villanova were to find a way to win, it wouldn't be as shocking as Doyal has suggested.

As a Nova fan I think our chances are very slim this game. Kansas is very experienced and more talented. Nova has no seniors (not much experience) and has battled injuries with their big men all year. Most blogs Ive read I like the Jayhawks fans responses b/c they haven't been cocky at all and not got ahead of the game for Sunday; and after tonights game, probably Kansas will be the winner, I will root for them to win it all. That is Nova's thing, Nova lost in the sweet 16 to UNC (shitty ass call in 2005) and in 2006 lost in the Elite 8 to Florida, all those teams won it all after they beat Nova.

Hey twocoach, I think you are getting too cocky and ahead of yourself with this  "Give me two good reasons that Villanova can beat KU, besides KU forgetting to go to the arena and KU forgetting to take the game seriously." Nova has great outside shooting and great defense. I think Kansas will win by 15 points, but dont say that Nova doesn't have a shot. I lost tons of money on UConn two years ago b/c I said the same thing about George Mason. These are one game eliminations not multiple game series. Thats why they play the game.

Good luck to Kansas, even tho we need a miracle and most of the luck. And if you guys play Wisconsin, please kick their butts, I cant stand their obnoxious fans that still cry about not getting the 3 seed. So I guess the Badgers fans would have rathered play Xavier in the West then Davidson in the sweet 16??

I meant about them not getting the 2 seed. In which Duke got the 2 and didn't deserve.*

I'll give you two good reasons twocoach.  One, the Kansas players are just as arrogant as the fans.  It's annoying.  Two, when they find themselves in a battle, they wilt faster than Eastwood without Viagra.

catfan32,

I just want people to base their arguments on facts. when they find themselves in a battle, they wilt faster than Eastwood without Viagra. Maybe I got a little carried away with my comments, but as it turned out, this game was over at the 10:00 mark of the first half. My point has always been, that if KU executes as they have shown they are capable, they shouldn't find themselves in a battle against most teams. Villanova put together a decent run in the tourney, and they should have a pretty good team next year with so many returning players. But KU doesn't lose that game unless they come out and lay an egg. Same with Sunday's game.

Like any KU fan, I consider myself to be knowledgeable about the game of basketball. I read an interview today with Bill Self basically saying that KU fans unreasonably expect a championship every year. That could not be further from the truth. We hope for the title every year and expect our team to play as hard as they can and live up to their abilities. This year, they just happen to have the ability to win it all. So do a few other teams out there.

KU will have their hands full with Curry on Sunday, but they should be able to pull out a win. Every year I hope for the best and brace for the worst. They are already past that so it's been a great year. Go, Jayhawks!

Markstaff,

That article makes too much sense, which is why Villanova might win.  I'd be sending hate mail to Doyel if I were you.  Thanks for jinxing us.  What a jerk.  That does it, I'm calling my bookie right now to take Villanova.  Who rights stuff like that?  Man, I hope I can change my bet.  I oughta...
