39 seconds to go, and down to Butler 75-68. I hear coffin nails being pounded into a casket

I have not seen Butler play this year but would have assumed a healthy Nova squad would get the W. Obviously too early to draw conclusions but I wonder how long Nova will tolerate losing if the current coach struggles? I might be misremembering, but didn't think his resume was all that great. His connection to the prior coach is significant but that doesn't mean he can be the guy. The loss and struggles so far this season also do not mean he can't be a top level coach.
I wouldn't mind if Nova struggled for several years assuming another big east team was ready to carry the conference - Xavier perhaps?
