UPDATE: HE DID IT! JOE LUNARDI ACTUALLY DID IT!

It’s not over yet. But we’re getting closer. 

The Wildcat must have some dirty pictures of Joe Lunardi with the St. Joe’s Hawk, because for some reason he’s scared to leave Nova out of the Big Dance. Here’s his latest Bracketology that still has Nova in his “Last Four In” after losing to Creighton over the weekend and finishing .500 in the Big East:

For the love of god please put us out of our misery. Leave the Villanova basketball team on the Main Line this March. Nobody wants to watch an #11 seed Nova play. Not even their fans. The Wells Fargo Center was 60% filled on Saturday at their Super Bowl.  They’re 17-14. They’re not winning the Big East. They’ll finish with 15 losses and only three teams ever have gotten an at-large bid with 15 losses.

Answer a question for me. Do you want to watch a 28-win darling like Indiana State and Cream Abdul Jabbar or 14-loss Nova with a $3 million roster who underwhelmed all season on a beautiful March Thursday? It’s a no-brainer:

Every Nova fan wants to point to their impressive Battle 4 Atlantis title, but completely ignore their Big 5 Tournament collapse. They’re below .500 in combined Quad 1 & 2 wins. Five of their 17 wins have come against Quad 4 teams, they stink on the road, and their offense is zero fun to watch. Imagine watching five Tobias Harris’ backing their man from the three point line down to the post all game when the first look fails. The only good that can come out of Villanova making the tournament is Kyle Neptune deserving an extension. I can’t wait for Adam Fisher to be battling Neptune for recruits. Now I actually might be conflicted.

Shut up Pagan. Temple fucking blows.
