St. Bonaventure is into the final. One more win and they are in the NCAA tournament! Nicholson ended up playing only 25 minutes because of foul trouble but still ended up with 19 points.

definitely gonna take quite the upset for st bonnies to win that game. new mexico state got a huge favour from lousiana tech, theyve got a solid solid chance to make the tourney yet again. all without bhullar.

and id put texas on the bubble. theyve had some bad losses, and not a lot of big wins. that win against fellow canadians iowa state helped, but itll still take help. luckily alot of other bubble teams didnt even get 1 conference tourney win.

St. Bonaventure also has a winnable game against UMASS in the semis of their conference tournament. Problem is they would have to face Xavier or Saint Louis in the final.



The only problem is if St. Bonaventure wins they could bumb Texas cause Saint Louis is already in.

Thanks for all the work this year. I did it last year so I know how much effort it takes.

New Mexico State qualified for the NCAA Tournament!

St. Bonaventure and Xavier game will be on CBS at 1:00.

Nicholson was the player of the year in his league.

If we use Davis to get a second 1st round pick in the draft for PG would like to draft Nicholso with our 2nd round.He is a senior and NBA ready anf has all the tools offense defense a rebounding.

No problem. I was able to follow the Canadian kids a little more closely by doing this.

Everyone should be watching this a10 game. St bonnies is looking great and nicholson has been on fire in every facet of the game. And believe it or not, no Canada jokes yet.

I would rather keep Ed Davis and have the better player. Why create more holes in a thin roster?
Nicholson's immediate success or even contribution, is debatable.

And chuck just complemented nicholson and said that Canada has been producing some very good big men recently. Though I didn't have a translator with me, but I think thats what he mumbled.

I'm not sure if Ed Davis is more skilled than Nicholson, but that's another discussion. 6 blocks for Nicholson so far.

1) cook is playing more selfishly, worse and out of control than hump on his worst day
2) I don't think nicholson is "big in Mississauga", but if he plays like this more often he will be

10 point lead with 1:23 left. Please hold on.

Lyons is one of the players who acted like an idiot after the brawl. Not a surprise he would foul out like that.

I don't see how Nicholson is any worse of a prospect than a guy like Udoh

Height and age. Personally I'd look at what they actually accomplished, but scouts think differently.
