Villanova in trouble

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

The Wildcats had a 20-6 lead early, but Bucknell came back to tie it up at 39 and have been sticking with 'Nova ever since. Great grit by the Bison on the road, but 'Nova just can't pull away. Could be the biggest upset of this young season, not exactly what you want to see happen to the Big East's (current) premier team. After hitting three free throws, Bucknell is leading 62-61 with 3:30 to play.

Bucknell hits a 3 to go ahead 65-63 with 1:40 to play.

Not good...not good at all. And I dont think its an overreaction. Need nova to win

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

Huge call, 'Nova forces a turnover while up one, probably could have been called a reach-in. Wildcats lead 66-65 with the ball and 34.3 to play.

Solid defense by nova. Crucial replay call coming up here

[MU/Panther]

Wasn't it Bucknell that gave MU a fight a couple years ago in game 2 of the season.

I didn't watch any of the game. Has nova being playing without effort or are they just overrated? Or both?

Yes

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

Villanova is going to escape this one. Up three, 'Nova made a steal and breakaway on what Bucknell hoped would be a tying possession. Now 72-65 and that will be the final.

[MU/Panther]

It's a win for Villanova!

Now, Martin's Cal Bears lead Syracuse at MSG by 11. Everyday is a good day when the Orange can lose.
