It depends if Nova closes the deal on another title.

If Nova wins out this year:

* Back to back national titles. Speaks for itself. They are the dominant program in the East.
* No one is better positioned for success. Great city. Great facilities. Sure fire HOF Coach with gas left in the tank.
* Three national titles. Won two of the greatest national title games ever so they get style points too.
* They play in a basketball city. B5.

If they don't close the deal, they have two titles and we have one. We're a more consistent program historically. We play in a better facility, draw fans nationwide in droves, have more tradition and frankly are just more fun to watch on balance, this year not withstanding. If we got a bye in the F4 semis last year like Nova did when their opponent no-show'd, it might be a different story. Nova can also go AWOL for long periods as a program whereas our worst years are superb for so many programs.

I wouldn't trade SU's history for anyone's. I'm SU for life. But this is not a UConn situation where their tourney performance bears zero resemblance to the quality of the program. Nova under Jay Wright is the real deal.
