Is this the first time a defending National Champion lost its first game to the team they defeated in the National Championship Game? I'd be somewhat surprised if it happened before.

They listen when I said kick some ‘nova ass, hells yeah, baby!!!

Go Blue!!!

Dont count out this team before the tip off! THJ said it best when he said never bet against Beilein when he has time to prepare for a team. Same goes for Yaklich! Damn what a great win!!

Hopefully that 27 point win is a Quad 1 and what we saw isn't just Nova remnants. 

Also, choking Simpson so hard from behind with an arm around the neck that he gets picked up off his feet does not equal traveling. I think it's something else. Other than that I can live with the outcome. :)

Holy shit.  Am floored.  They looked seasoned ..  athletic .  Iggy is a beast, he will be all big ten this year.  

I said last year here (look it up) that there is something about these incoming recruits..and it'll be Iggy and co that will win a title with beilein, and I believe it more after that bloodletting .Iggy has a mans body and shut Pascall down .

This is such a not-Beilein team. Shaky from 3, lockdown D, and unstoppable in the paint? It just goes to show that the man adjusts incredibly well to his personnel and can win with any team.

If you told me that we'd go to Villanova, shoot 29% from 3, and win by 27, I'd have told you you're crazy. We officially have the Don Brown of basketball.

It's like we time-warped into the 90s when football and basketball were both good simultaneously. Just need the hockey team to cooperate and we'll be a fully operational Death Star.
