Nova has all the tools but they never showed up against DePaul. Nova is about an 8 seed in this conference. DePaul will be a 15 at best. ND pulled one out last night with a great performance by McAlarney. Harangody had an atrocious shooting night but 7 of his misses were actually blocks by Thabeet who probably had his best game yet as a Husky. Still Harangody had 14 and 10. Not bad. Stanley Robinson should stay home on the nights when he doesn't feel like getting involved in a game. Tremendous talent, lazy attitude. And where is Calhoun's head when he insists on starting his offense in a tight game with Jeff Adrien. What team wouldn't salivate at having a three point game and the ability to send Adrien to the foul line? As much heart as Adrien shows he probably should be sitting in the last two minutes of a close game so that Gavin Edwards (85% FT) can get fouled. Edwards actually has a chance to make 2 instead of hoping Adrien might make 1 of 2. SU is in trouble although I have to say that I do enjoy watching Donte Green and Dejuan Blair of Pitt play the game. They both bring fun and energy to their teams.
