I guess the guy above you is the exception, not the rule, lol. Don’t want to come across as a troll, but was looking for some previews and couldn’t resist interjecting. Looking forward to a good game tomorrow night, I appreciate your response.
Nobody is saying that NC State can’t beat Villanova. Heck, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t very nervous. It was simply to point out that the overwhelming majority of people do not seem to treat Villanova as a serious contender. That is folly.
I understand that most on here are NC State fans, but, like most others out there, you are taking Villanova lightly at your own peril. Villanova (13-1, #4 RPI) had more Top 50 RPI games than NC State (4-8, #40 RPI), and played in the #2 ranked conference in the country (behind the Big 12). Finally, you ignore advanced and more predictive ratings such as offensive and defensive efficiency, where Villanova (7 Off., 13 Def.) clearly dominates NC State (55 Off., 134 Def. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FOURTH IN DEFENSIVE EFFICIENCY). If it is just your opinion as a fan that NC State is going to win, that’s what fans do, but opinion should have some basis in reality, and the reality is that Villanova is clearly the favorite tomorrow night.
