A team has never made the tournament after losing as much as they have the last 15 games.  If they get in, it's all just an NCAA money maker to get as many Big East teams in as possible. 

No way if you watch that team play basketball, can you say they are good enough to compete for a national title.

Nova beat Cincy, Louisville, Maryland, Cuse, Temple, Marq, SHall, and WVU. They would beat Ark. Little Rock, Wofford, Morehead St. and any other tiny conference qualifier 9 outta 10 times. Nigga Please

5-10 in their last 15 games and 5 losses in a row.  Can't jus throw out the 2nd half of the season

They will get in, but it certainly is not deserved.  Whoever they play, I will have them losing in the first round and likely will fade them as well.  I also don't think Marquette deserves to get in either, but I guess it is what it is.

Not what I was arguing partna...very true and I never said they should get in. Just stating Nova's scholarship players would mop the floor most days with those other teams. Also put Wofford and Ark. LR in the big east and see how their last 15 games pan out. Ill go ahead and tell ya 0-15 and 0-15

CatchNRun-

I see the point you are trying to make, but if we really took the 68 best teams, then it would take away from what March Madness is all about.  Unlike college football, the little guy has a chance (albeit a small one) and it is always fun to see one of these cinderellas get to the sweet 16.

Somebody has got to get left out. Marquette has a pretty strong argument themselves with 4 wins over top 25 team. Also 29th on the strength of schedule chart but like you said, "it is what it is." Its a systematic formula that def has its flaws

I agree completely. Im not even a big east fan. Im from Chattanooga and am a huge UTC fan. I fell in love with March Madness back in 97 when the Mocs made a run to the Sweet 16 as a No. 14 seed. I love and route for the underdog just as much as you do. Being a fan of a smaller conference like the Southern Conference, I just understand the gap in between top D1 school athletes and underdogs like Wofford or Ark. LR. Thats why I said "9 outta 10 times."

When you drop your last 5 you should not be in the dance.

Kind of remind of the Miami Heat and their struggles. Nova has all the pieces, but for some reason they can't put it all together.

They did look really lackluster and clueless out on the court today. If they get in(and they probably will) it really won't matter because they won't win more than their first game. This team seems to lack any kind of heart and is definitely not firing on all cylinders. You can't back into the Big Dance and expect to get to far!
