Villanova-Michigan NCAA Championship Game Watch

Anyone know a local sports bar or restaurant for watching the game tonight?  Ideally for a Villanova fan, thanks!


Probably Bunny's in S.O. or O'Reilly's on Millburn Ave. in Maplewood


If you know an Elk, they have an amazing 110" projection TV plus 5 other HDTVs and are hosting members and their guests

Sorry I didn't see this earlier but for future reference the Villanova University Club of North and Central New Jersey typically hosts game watches in Morristown.  Last night I watched with about 150 or so mostly Villanova alumni at South Street Social (F/K/A Sona 13).  Fun time was had by all.  Now just waiting to hear from my son who was most likely out celebrating until the wee hours of the morning.

No doubt your son had more fun than mine, who bristled every time Jim Nantz & Company referred to ’Nova as a Philadelphia school.

ETA: Me, I was cheering for the Sallies kid.

Here is a pretty good article by Philly's (and 'Nova's) own Kyle Lowery on that very topic:

Funny as a freshman 30 plus years ago we did everything we could to disassociate ourselves with Philadelphia and there is still a bit of that with the student body, most of whom are from other major metropolitan areas.

Is your son at one of the Philly schools?

You and Rollie both.

My son is in the currently beleaguered Pac-12, but he’s Philly born and mostly bred (and has a literalist bent).

Thanks for the Lowry link. I’ll read it tonight.
