Too many distractions for the Irish right now, take the points and be careful with the over.  The Irish may run their "stall offense" in this one. BOL. 

NOVA WONT BE RUNNING A STALL OFFENSE.

 OVER LARGE

Sorry blue but you are completely wrong, no one is due a win, you have to earn it. 

Nova has been leaking some serious oil the past couple of weeks.  The problem with this team is that they are only really playing 7 guys each nite and you can't go an entire NCAA season with such a short bench.  The fact is they are TIRED! 

Now going on the road against the Irish, who are a much better team at home is a tall task.  If this one was at the Pavillion or the Fargo center, maybe.......maybe they have a shot to one this one.

The only reason this one is +5 Nova is a little reputational love from the odds makers.

GL to all which ever way you play.

BIG PHIL

One could argue they've been due the last several games      5 may be 1 or 2 to many, so I'll either take Nova plus the chalk or just stick with the total here. 

Last time 'Nova was in South Bend they won by 17. They also won by 18 at home this Jan.

That was last Jan (2010)
