GO NOVA! I really like our seeding and I feel like we got a good shot to go far. I really want to see a Duke/Nova match-up.

Well FSU played Pitt tough earlier this season, maybe they can take them down in the Sweet 16.

Re: East Regional Discussion

If 'Nova misses the Sweet 16 after playing in their backyard, I'll laugh my arse off.

How is Villanova even eligible to play in Philly?

Pretty sure it's their home court they're not allowed to play on.

The Palestra isn't their homecourt. Nevertheless, it is pretty cheap.

I'm looking forward to the second round Duke choke this year. I think Minny or Texas can do it fairly easy.

It's certainly tough for UCLA, but as a UCLA fan, I should be the last to complain.

UCLA played in Anaheim last year and played in Oakland in the '06 and '07 regional finals.

Don't they play games there though? Sort of like how UConn plays in Storrs and then in Hartford?

Okay Anaheim is more or less a home game for UCLA, but Villanova in Philly would be like Miami playing a tournament game in Miami.

Re: East Regional Discussion

Pitt-FSU rematch could be real interesting. Douglas is carrying the Noles right now.

As an alumn, I'm rooting for them to make the Final Four. So nice to see the Noles competitive on the hardwood; they were mediocre at best the years I was in school.
