- @NovaMBB there is no culture in college basketball like Villanova. No one plays the same exact way with the same effort game in and game out than Villanova. Maybe Houston 2nd but they are DEFINITELY first!!!
- Duke is obviously terrific and could win it all but one thing Coach K has learned about coaching all freshman is they don’t understand guarding other good players!!! Never had to before. Also when they need to score in the halfcourt all bets are off.
- Tomorrow on @CBSSportsCBB at 1 pm @NovaMBB and @GeorgetownHoops playing for the 1985 National Championship. 1 of greatest games ever! I will be live tweeting starting around 12:30 pm with Coach Mass scouting report on Georgetown! My first year as college assistant! What a memory.
- To think I’m going to call @FDU_MBB @ZagMBB with my son @PeteLappas on the sideline as assistant to @CoachHerenda is unbelievable! Brings memories back of the driveway when he was 5 playing buzzer beater. I would count down and he would make shot at buzzer and celebrate!
- Happy Mother’s Day Mom!! Broken hip at 90 beat Covid at 92!! Tougher than nails!
- Now we need Coach Massimino to be inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame! Won over 800 games and a National title with I believe 4 other Elite Eights?? It’s not even close!! #novachamps85
- If transfers are eligible immediately it will be one of the worst things to happen to College Basketball. Players are being recruited off other teams now. Imagine then! Can you transfer up until classes start? Kids will be leaving in September! Ridiculous
- Tubby Smith a great coach and person told me something I will never forget! “ the best pillow is a clear conscience “ That’s Tubby!!! Big respect!
- Here is what’s so good about @NovaMBB Jalen Brunson had 22 at half tonight and I don’t think he cares if he scores a deuce the whole next game as long as they win. The culture is incredible.
- I don’t get it! Kerry Kittles was suspended for 3 games at the end of his sr season for using a phone card illegally. We were hottest team in nation when it happened. Never quite got mojo back. How are all these guys not even missing a game? Btw he paid the bill and still sat.
- Congrats to @VUCoachJWright and @NovaMBB an unbelievable accomplishment. Some years we say the best team didn’t win but that statement would not be even close this year!! Nova clearly the best team in the nation. The word “team” really fits!!!
- RIP Coach Mass! The man who taught me so much and gave me the opp to be a D1 coach. I owe all 2 him for giving it to me. Chance of lifetime
