Glad Butler won. Would rather have Nova go 14-4 or 13-5 than 18-0, 17-1 or 16-2. Villanova won the title as a #2 seed. More teams getting a few wins against Nova will help come Selection Sunday (# of bids and seeding).

I agree. I don't need the national view of the Big East as Memphis was viewed with Coach Cal in Conference USA. Granted that was a two bid league and the Big East sends half the league to March Madness.

No way...have to look at the short term...this pretty much guarantees no way MU wins Saturday now. Nova hasn't lost two in a row in 3 years. A Nova win, and I would have really liked MU's chances...just another reason that Hall loss is REALLY going to haunt them come selcetion Sunday...Had MU started 2-0, losing to Nova...eh..no big deal..but starting 1-2?? That's a hill to climb.

Our opening stretch is brutal. I think most would've penciled in a 2-6 or 3-5 start. There's no harm in losing either of these.

I totally don't buy that logic. Same people said that after Milwaukee beat Wisconsin last season, that MU had no chance after that.

A start like that and there is NO chance of making the NCAA's...that's just the reality. I still say, the EASIEST path to the NCAA's is for MU to NOT lose at home...that's 9 wins right there, win @ DuhPaul, @ Providence and @ SJU, that's 12 wins right there. Win all your home games, and it doesn't matter what you do @Creighton, @ Xavier, @ Nova.
