Nova barely made it out of the first round last year against American in a simliar game, was down big early and fought to win close at the end...that team ended up in the Final Four...
That whole bracket IMO is filled with sketchy teams...any of which could lose a game really early in the tournament...Duke, Nova, Baylor and Purdue...are you kidding me with those 4?
I dont disgree with the sketchy teams this year and in my opinion there is only 1 powerhouse. But specifically on the topic of Nova this team is different then last years'. They lack any significant inside presence and Pena barely played today.
With 3 close games I am ready for CBS to switch the coverage away from KSU.
