SBU better than UNC???

[b4life]

With the always hyped UNC v Duke match up upon us, here is a bit of my favorite sports (il)logic.

St. Bonaventure defeated Princeton

Princeton defeated Harvard

Harvard defeated Boston College

Boston College defeated UNC

Therefore St. Bonaventure is clearly better than UNC. Obviously we are one of the top teams in the country, right??? Sports can be so weird sometimes…Go Bonas!

Haha, I have to admit I always run through these 6 degrees of victory all the time. An interesting concept, but I would bet my life we wouldn't be within 10 points of UNC.

You'd bet your life on that? I wouldn't. We probably would lose this season, but stranger things have happened in the world of college basketball.

Yeah I would actually love to seeus play one of the big time teams like UNC or Duke. Give them a taste of Nicholson.
