Casual hate for DeJuan Blair

Always good. That dude was a douche and also fat.

he was bad

and killed us, but i hated their fat PG more…Fields?

Could easily join Team Meatball

HoyaJoker07 - January 28, 2012 reply

Blairs actuallly a good kid

I have a ton of friends that went to high school w/ him. I almost did, myself

sorry

but I hate blair.

kid acted like a douche, maybe he’s nice to his friends, but in his interactions with the Hoyas he was a douche.

One that pissed me off was him saying he was insulted by Georgetown guarding him with a Freshman(Monroe) in his sophomore year. HDC!

you almost did him yourself?

wow.

JahidiLikesPie - January 28, 2012 reply

So let me get this straight

1) Hollis is coming off of a groin injury
2) according to a tweet Jabril was spotted near the health center in a golf cart with a trainer
3) Hoyatalk poster says Jason has been sick all week and not to expect a 100% from him

awesome.

time to test the China spirit

does the team feel sorry for itself and retreat into a shell? Or say “eff it, we like it when the odds are against us, let’s bury Pitt early”?

not a very positive prognosis

1) Ouch
2) Heard (here) that was false
3) Maybe?

WarmupEwing - January 28, 2012 reply

jabril thing is false

Hire Esherick - January 28, 2012 reply

well

good

clark thing appears accurate

based on some twitter diligence.
hope hollis is feeling good.
need good minutes from Sims/Lube/whittington

Parrish guaranteeing us to be upset.

Guaranteed to be an upset: I don’t know if Pittsburgh is back. But Travonn Woodall is back — and he had 17 points against Providence the other night. Simply put, the junior point guard is a difference-maker. So give me the Panthers over No. 9 Georgetown on Saturday at the Peterson Events Center. Which means I’m taking the team that’s tied for last in the Big East over the team that’s tied for second in the Big East. And I actually feel pretty good about it.

Interesting, but not comforting fact from AP article:

“Top scorers Jason Clark and Hollis Thompson haven’t been factors in the past against Pitt. Clark has scored 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting in three meetings and Thompson has scored two points on 1-of-9 shooting in two games. "

Having watched the first 3 minutes here

St Johns is going to get slaughtered by Duke

Jerimiah

at the Duke game. Apparently playing in Serbia.

Maybe the half-court spin move is more effective there

But I doubt it

Marquette v. Nova on ESPN2

Nova up 9 early would definitely help us for Nova to beat them.

Agree

Would much rather have the advantage in the BE standings than the minor RPI boost from a MU win.

going to be a very fun day in the big east

lot of huge games

Hire Esherick - January 28, 2012 reply

indeed

Cinci @ Rutgers go Rutgers
Marquette @ Nova go Nova
WVU @ Cuse go WVU
Louisville @ SH meh doesn’t matter both are 4-4. guess Louisville to keep them in the top 25.

Alabama also has a big game vs. Arkansas and Memphis ha a big game vs. Marshall

St. John’s taking down duke would be nice too

Wow

7-21

Shocking lack of pocket square from Jay Wright

But the man does make a track suit look supremely casual in a way Huggins could only dream of.

AnotherGtownJack - January 28, 2012 reply

Oh, I'm definitely on board with the sentiment

But lately have not been a fan of slathering pink on anything that moves and calling it awareness. Prob’ly just me, tho.

Super Nervous about this game

Luckily we play really well when I’m super nervous.
Which makes me more confident.
which means we’ll play worse.
which makes me more nervous.

Vicious cycle.

having a casual captain lawrence ipa

At a bar by the train station. Helps me relax on the train.

Also, why do the coaches never lean? First half of the elite8 against UNC, the silver debacle against ND, AND NOW THIS SHIT?!!?!

DOOMED!

9 point loss. DOCUMENTED.

I am fully in favor of us ditching the pink shoes

if we are down at half time.

PINK SHOES

TAKE HEED HOYAS. ’QUETTE WEARING DAMN PINK SHOES!!!!!!!

Buzz Williams just flopped

No excuse with the new kicks

For some odd reason I really like Buzz...

Shrugs..

StPetersburgHoya - January 28, 2012 reply

I respect him too

Despite being blind, he dresses himself for every game. That is the only thing that can explain all that pink.

Can we get a gif of this?

Funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Either Buzz Williams is the most entertaining sideline coach since Lou Carnesecca’s sweaters or he is the most entertaining sideline coach of all time.

WarmupEwing - January 28, 2012 reply

I do believe that's my area

Can make it happen later if the game ever ends (and ESPN3 puts up a replay)

I tried. Resolution sucks b/c it was in the very corner of the camera angle...

Pitts Dangerous but..

So are we..
Pitt is going to be fired up but..
So will we..
This will be a war, but hopefully we learned something from the WV game about what it takes to win on the road in the BE..Time to take that step forward…Is it 4 yet?? Hoyas!

we need to take it to Pitt early

get up big early and they’ll fold. They’ll flash back to their losing streak and realize they’re not good enough.

This^

poll: will jamie dixon incorporate pink into his outfit today and, if so, how?

would personally like to see some pink weave worked into his shellacked coiffure

ESPN already cheating for Cuse

gave WVs 2 points to Cuse. just fixed it now.

Jesus

call a foul on Cuse BS!

On another note...

What kind of “academic issues” could have Melo out for 3-straight games?

Still working on "If you give a mouse a cookie"

preseumably

he either fell below the 2.0 GPA or fell below the required number of Credits athletes are required to take.

either way Cuse appealed to the NCAA tuesday were rejected, appealed yesterday and were rejected, but seem confident that option C which presumably requires Fab making up work in the classroom will allow him to become eligible before the end of the season.

Which is crap if that ends up working. He should have to make up enough work that he has to at least sit out the entire semester. He shouldn’t be allowed to take some 2 week online course that some how replaces an entire semester long course.

Aren’t all cuse classes online?

Stupid technical difficulties

from the shit hole that is Syracuse.

Marquette and Nova Tied.

St. John’s giving Duke a fight only down 10 with 4 minutes to go.

Harkless drops 33 on Duke

Johnies only down 4 with 20 seconds left.

Jeeeeezuz.. That boy good!

guess it was only 30, but still

St. John’s only loses by 7 @ Duke.

ACC sucks!

If Cheek face guards DJO and denies his touches..

Nova should win..

nova

with no time outs left with 6 minutes left in the game.

Yeah waiting for the Chris Webber moment..

Wow a tech for that???

yeah

definitely worried about that happening. and yeah weak tech. Come one Nova hold on.

Dam DJO is cookin right now..smh

And James Bell You are not Kobe!! Stop shooting so freakin much get it to Wayans!

seriously

just face guard DJO and force someone else to beat you. Especially with that flopping dandy crowder on the bench with 4 fouls.

HSB I think Jay Wright heard us..

Of course they decide to not guard Crowder at all.. smh

yeah ugh

Nova just isn’t very good. funny how highly regarded guys like bell, cheek, and yarou were and how they’ve done nothing.

stop jacking 3s!

they have multiple guys in foul trouble go to the rim!

woah, that was a dunk!

Lol @ Nova… are you guys really this bad???

Really? I mean cmon.. Really

Take the 2 you idiots..

Ridiculous end to this game

Prognosis?

Horse shit

Joseph used his arm to shield off defender and they call a foul on his defender.

Woooooh Hinds showed something there..

huge 3 by Jone!

This is a good ass game

Did Poop Jardine kick Boehslime in the nuts at halftime??

Do you go for the 3 and the win?

or do you go for the 2 and the tie.

I go inside and try to get the and 1.

You go wherever KJ happens to be standing

You play for the win on the road

A concept lost on John Harbaugh

Keep attacking the rim.. unless its a wide open look

THAT WAS SUCH GOALTENDING

is it reviewable?

Nope

ugh

Kalichila how do you miss that.

not goal tending?!

wtf

not a goaltend???

oh, it was.

no question. the referees swallowed whistles AND contact lenses.

What was that?? Refs just jobbed WVU

that's goal tending!

holy hell goaltending

Disgraceful call.. Ref you are fired!

not a banner...

day for BE Refs.

Will surely culminate with

another shitshow in a Georgetown game

wow

how the hell do you not call that.

and of course you cannot review that.

Jesus, so angry right now

Even Sucks fans think that’s a bad call

muthafrackers

how did WV

get the ball back?

wondering this aswell

Sucks fumbled it out of bounds

Horseshit and a half

SMH.. WVU got Jobbed

wow that was horrbile.
should’ve been a foul on that last possesion too.

They're gonna file a protest. Not sure what the BE will do

I remember in the NBA a few years ago there was something like this where they replayed the last 56 seconds of the game.

Hoya Vey - January 28, 2012 reply

yup, Hawks scoring table fouled Shaq out by mistake

in the last minute of OT…pretty sure the replay didn’t change anything.

In about five-ten years, WVU will get every 50-50 goaltending call.

feel bad for wvu

even though p.e.jr didnt goaltend and this was obviously a goaltend, still sucks to be beaten like that twice in recent memory

Damn Damn Damn..

The way today is going, I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to this Pitt game

begin drinking

IMMEDIATELY. Assuming it is not already underway.

it takes a very bad call

to make my sympathize with WVU…but they got screwed

is it short-term memory bias...

or has officiating across the board been worse this year than the couple previous years?

Not quite there tiger. They beat ironically, West Virginia after that Toledo game. And Toledo did have the ball after the missed XP with a chance to win.

To be fair, it's not like the call ended the game. They DID get another opportunity to tie with 6 seconds left.

No, that would be a "to be fair" if it was a bad out of bounds call

who was calling that game?

If it helps you decide, my theory on Guinness is as follows:

It seems to be the kind of beer that is meant to be appreciated. I know many people that do. But seeing as my tastebuds just…don’t…I’ll leave the enjoyment of it to others, while I partake of something else. Which is why I’m happy to share!

Yep, that decides it.

I’m on the opposite end, where I can’t stand any of the stuff they come out with that is popular with people who don’t like the basic (black lager, 250)

Good things. Need to tighten up on D.

I thought they painted that little thing on the floor for a reason

like markels aggression

not upset he got called on that

Starks two fouls already

Fuck

our defense

certainly thought the game started at 4:30

offensive charge on starks...sigh!

Damnit Starks

foul trouble again

Starks with two...already?!

Gaffes. 2 Gaffes.

he’s going to be a congressman after all.

Wow shocked Starks already has 2 fouls..

So much for a quick start.

This smells familiar

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

Otto!

Yes, we all like the way Georgetown passes the basketball

But we also like when we make more than a baker’s dozen worth of baskets

Hollis

Needs to finish that

To be honest, gotta give props to the high-top fade

Lubick..............SON!!!!

nice way to draw the charge!

stream isnt working

f this

Who would ever buy chicken parm at Denny's?

I'm italian.

That would be culinary treason.

Same here

a second is a very long time

get back to this game, hate commercials

I’ve never seen a point guard who gets so many reckless fouls early in the game..

Cmon Markel..

ah a long picture

of the pittsburgh skyline

nice brown river

Our river is pretty brown too

true

but our skyline is lots better

What skyline?

This one. We win.

How did I find myself defending all things Pittsburgh?

I’ve never even been to that city.

that’s awesome.

thanks saxual

told ya

anytime!

Went there

last summer, it was surprisingly pretty. Of course I did not look at any Panther Cheerleaders, so my mileage probably varied.

fail

are you serious with that lube?

Alley-oop woulda been sick

What the hell was the holding call though? No one was anywhere near Sims. Aaaand there’s the make-up.

We seem to be on pace for yet another 40 point game

Refs got a quick whistle this game..

I have a feeling this is going to be anothe one of those games with 75 fouls

Hope we continued practiing free throws all week then...

We can’t hit anything from the floor

75 in the first half, you mean?

"offensive prowess"...

Where? when?

hes referring to rutgers game

We are the worst at layups.

Good take by Hollis

HectorLuna - January 28, 2012 reply

Did they practice this week?

Lubick makin' a difference

Big East refs...

Sweet jesus.

"YOU GET A FOUL! YOU GET A FOUL! EVERY. BODY. GETS. A FOUL!"

Dixon needs to start thinking about a combover

I'm

so thrilled to watch all of these stunning displays of referee masteriness.

fml

Patience

young jedi.

Patience.

Is Gibbs really guarding Otto?? Exploit that please

SLOPPY

Come on, boys

a week of practice

and we come out like this…

Has it been any different in 7 out of the last 8 seasons?

NO EXCUSE FOR A LOSS TODAY!!!

we're less than 10 minutes in, cheer up!

the only l-word that needs to be used right now is liquor.

Well said

I gonna drive!

Psych! Catch it whit!

Can we get fined or something if we take off those shoes at halftime?

Rutgers Game

Part II: Montezuma’s Revenge

Jabril!

4 frosh on the court

finally got my feed to work

can start the binge drinking

A shot every whistle!

#way to win Darwin award

Four frosh plus Clark

Its very odd

But if it works…

haha Jabril REALLY didn’t want to take that

Truth

Hopefully the make boosts that confidence a little

Trawick....good jump shot!

I love our defensive unit

wow

no one went for loose ball. just stood there looking at it. come on now

Freshmen the only ones who want to win

that's the first time i've seen

a team actually benefit from that shot clock rule. Lucky

What would it be like

If we started a Big East game playing well?

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

Seriously.. We’re way better than Pitt..

Focus in guys.. you got this!

Seriously though, are there any repercussions if we change shoes at halftime?

Those shoes are Oooooey Poooey

Never gets old, does it?

It does not

get tight on d

offense is shaking the rust off

Otto is killing it early on

Love the aggression and will to score

love me some otto porter

things that should embarrass some guys:

our frosh play better defense then every veteran. HAVE SOME FUCKING PRIDE.

thejerseytornado - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

I see you, Otto! Way to crash the boards

That's where Otto belongs

In the weeds

aaaand Whit

fouls a 3-point shooter

good foul though!

In what way?

b/c the 3 point shooter only made 1 point from the stripe!

Nate, eventually youre gonna have to stop doing that

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

LUBICK!!! STOP SHOOTING 3's!!!!!!!!

I was thinking "It'd be nice if Lubick could actually hit that shot"

And then he shoots the damn ball anyway.

I have no idea what's going on in this game

I have no idea why anything is happening.

enough zaniness for 3 games already!

This

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8nV_bOv18w

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING!

Lubick takes a three.

Ugh.

That crippled guy I sometimes see at games...

can shoot the three better than Lubick.

wow

huh

Practice layups

Please?

i hate this game very much right now

i need a case of natty light

Already ahead of you, buddy!

But my devil is Bourbon.

We worship the same dark deity.

Mmmmm, Bourbon

This game is how serial killers are born

If this continues

I will be joining Esteban on his 6 state killing spree

Esteban would know

He’s probably mid-way through his six-state spree right now

Esteban just left Esherick's house.

Thank you, Esteban!

Jeebus

screw it

cracking open the sam adams

I'm going to keep

switching alcoholic beverages until I find one that makes this team shoot the damn ball well

perhaps one laced with DMT?

i believe there are some now-sophomores with a well-tested recipe for hallucinogens

I'll try anything

myfiancewenttodukepleasedon'thateme - January 28, 2012 reply

Lubick…. Wtf its not soccer dude

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

Jump on the grenade Lubick!

A tear wells on my eye as I write this

But is it possible that we are just plain bad as a team?

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

Talk about cynical

I know...

Short memory. I just don’t remember the last time we looked good.

In fairness, I think it was last month?

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

Good point

But we’ve managed enough that “sneaky bad under the surface” might be more accurate.

I feel like Sims gets away with that half the time

Georgetown has now explored

every possible way of not scoring a basket

for science!

i lol'd

What'd they call on Sims?

Traveling after getting pushed?

pushing the back of sims

I thi it was traveling

For walking half way across the court

Rewound at break, still think it was only 2 steps after picked up dribble

Yea you might be right

His stride is huge, probably what the refs saw

I hate Pitt..

Amazing new Comedy Central show looks amazing

Why do we always start sooooo sloooooooooow.. 11 points in 12 minutes ugh

it's the offensive scheme and this is why other school speak bad against the Hoyas

b/c of offensive flow!

Except we’re missing layups

After a full week of practice.

Did anyone expect anything different?

Nice Boatright back in time for us 2..

This is...

TROUBLING.

Step it up Hoyas!

currently on pace for 20+ turnovers

casually

Need some old man boobs...

to get this game turned around! look asleep out there

HuskerHoya - January 28, 2012 via Android app reply

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

I guess we decided not to play defense anymore

Eeyup

This is terrifying

why cant we make layups?

no tits yet, too early

Ugh

Hollis Thomas?

I am in fucking bizarro-land, where up is left, and left is right.

Oh shit!

the drugs I’m taking show us down by 12 points right now, but that can’t be right.

how can all these shots bounce all over the rim

And out????

I don’t want to be 1 of the only 2 teams they’ve beaten in the BE

Clearly I am not drinking enough

Because we really needed...

Another Marquette game. Jeez. Their defense isn’t even that good!

What a play coming out of the TO.

Get real. This guy can’t coach.

go away

time to change the channel

fuck fuck fuck

fuck? …. fuck.

-fuck

fuck. fuck? fuck!

fuckety. fuckfuckfuck.

i have to keep drinking

until I think I’m watching a comedy

I think that kid's high-top fade

has tricked the Hoyas into believe it’s 1992. The temporal confusion is really hurting us.

WHY ARE WE TAKING ALL THESE LONG ASS TWOS?

Can someone kindly explain the fucking logic behind that?

lack of composure

I don't know

But I think Coach wants us to keep doing just that

I'm taking a shower

to wash all this filth off

ditto - leaving until 2nd half

I'm beginning to think that +3 line was really off

Just in the wrong direction

It's

GOTTA be the Shoes!

These guys had Primanti's for lunch, didn't they?

They could have at least done us the courtesy of documenting

Pitt's not a bad offensive team, really

They just stink on D, so apparently we offended the gods of basketball and they’ve decided to curse us with horrific shooting.

myfiancewenttodukepleasedon'thateme - January 28, 2012 reply

somebody please explain to them

that the point of this game is getting the ball in the basket

Stop letting them make all these points

when we are not making any ourselves

Clearly something evil inhabits that arena.

Down by 17

That’s our cue for the comeback

fuck this

wake up guys

I think I'd rather watch Kourtney and Kim take New York

there was nobody within 8 feet of the guy under the basket

they’re so tired of being dunked on that they’ve abandoned all defense in the paint?

Needed that one.

BADLY.

Was about to scream at Jason for taking another long ass 2

But I will take any basket at this point

CUT IT TO TEN BY THE HALF

clark about to put on his superhero tights

when they made their first shot

they celebrated like they won the game….and have played that way since

You have to wonder....

How we would have done if Markel had played at all this half.

Hoping he gives us a lift in the second

MUCH more patient offense

less turnovers, better shots. The defense is still inexcusable

Well, Pitt went 0-7 w/o a PG...

It’s only “fair” that we have to play without one.

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

14 points...

ugly. Almost as ugly as those pink shoes with your uniform.

Trawick!!

This is essentially the Rutgers game

For our offense. But the refs are not doing us the favor of keeping us in the game. Oh, and we forgot to play D too.

vivanloshoyas - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Pitt

smart enough to adapt to refs (unlike Rutgers)

We're not driving - that's why no fouls

I think this is an excellent synopsis

Doesn’t make me any happier

let's go!

Enough of this horseshit.

beatcuse - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Oh Yeah!!

Cut the lead to ten!!

TO after the make?

let's get over 20 for the half

Whoooohoooo!!!

it’s ottomatic when you know it

Just get the lead cut down to under ten if possible.

I think they are listening to you

Continue with the sound advice, please

I agree

That would be nice.

And with Starks back in, we could address the deficit methodically after the half.

Ottomatic at the line, please.

The sleepin' GIANT is wakin' up....

NICE. This is excellent mental toughness from this team. I love it. Let's cut it to 9

Outside Shots Ain't Gonna Cut It

Everyone in the weight room now, maybe that way we can drive and get some good shots from in close.

In between sets, maybe a little pep talk about help defense.

UpstateHoya - January 28, 2012 reply

agreed

Was there an altercations or something at Cuse??

cuse given game by refs by a missed goaltending call

Goaltending that wasnt called

It would have sent the game into overtime…

Missed clear goaltending call that would have had WVU tie it up with 8.6 seconds left

Instead, no call and the Mountaineers lost by 2

They're going to talk about the BS call in the Cuse game at half

Better that than talking about our play in the first half here

Cant'

Blame them

we SUCK at free throws

beatcuse - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

What ARE we practicing?

Otto only hits them

You mean

the Syracuse Orange premium elites?

I’d rather we lose.

Someone (non SFS) help me with the math

20 minute halftime / 2 blocks to the liquor store x (12 beers in the pack + 11 point deficit)

Will I make it, and dear god will it EVEN HELP

You won't make it

But the way this game’s been so far, that seems like it’ll help

need at least 3 cases

how fast is your 40?

Back from the liquor store? Sure - if you hustle.

But will it help you, speed up your death, or kill you? Those predictions are more like actuarial type math.

I'll check my mortality tables

HoyaJoker07 - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I knew I could count on all you geniuses

Count on my liver after this game, maybe not so much

Great get to listen to Gotdweeeb tell us we suck..

What did Huggins...

say about the call?

He said it was BS.

without actually calling it BS.

I'm surprised...

he didn’t actually call it BS.

His kind of diplomatic answer

was the kind that starts wars.

Expect fines in the near future.

I never understood that...

why can’t coaches call out the Refs? Why are Refs protected? They should have to sit up in front of reporters and answer questions like the players and coaches. You’d see much better calls.

What kind of fines do you mean?

See it more often in football

but Conferences can fine coaches for being…voluble.

Yea I du non I thought his answer was pretty measured. Plus he had the quasi tears going on so tha t helps

Said it was clearly a goal tend

How's the six state killing spree going?

bloody...

paused to catch my breath…will resume shortly.

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

"i'm not sure if it was a goaltend, I KNOW it was a goaltend"

Well, even though that was a horrendous half for the Hoyas!

I somehow feel uncharacteristically upbeat about out chances in the second half.

amen

Go time Hoyas. No mercy in second half.

beatcuse - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

why do we have such awful stretches?

we’ve got a great team — we are we terrible for devastating periods?

upshot, at least, is that we generally only have 10-15 mins of sucking per game, so hopefully this is over now.

Wake up starters!!

Hollis Thompson, F 1-5
Jason Clark, G 1-3
Henry Sims, C 0-3
Nate Lubick, F 0-2
Markel Starks, G 0-0

at least

we only have 6 turn-overs for the team

perhaps we should start all freshman out of the half.

those 6 came in the first 10 min too

Then we decided to miss layups and free throws..

Fuck Gottlieb

No

I would rather be a castrato.

when will your new sig be announced?

Need the muse to move me.

But the above exchange is close.

Anyone know what JTIII's locker room personality is like?

Is he burning something now or calmly telling everyone to keep doing the same shit?

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

If he even has to say a word after that abomination we just saw..

I would be surprised

Oh wow Calhoun broke the rules?

Surprise surprise

im actually starting to get confident again

sims always wakes up in 2nd half, and he has been pushing these pit bitches around all game, layups will drop, pitt will double, free up hollis and clark. RAINING BUCKETS.

DELUSION DONT QUIT

Our first half defense

Obviously designed to give Pitt a feeling of what ACC defense is like

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

Was that all because Starks was on the bench? What happens if he gets a 3's foul in the first mintute?

What if he hits a three in the first minute?

Starks is pissing me off..

PG’s have to be smarter than that.. He’s killing us with these fouls..

does this every game

has matured so much running the o, too much focus on the O. His D will come, probably next year,

Can’t run the O from the bench.. and like you said..

It happens every single game..smh

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

What happened to Sims? Oh wait, he had some big games against some very small players

Pretty sure

Pitt’s short.

We need Clark, Sims, and Thompson to get in the game..

And Lubick and Starks

So…basically our starting 5

Starks needs to petition the Ncaa for a 10 foul rule..

Not counting on him at all to be honest..

Is it...

awkward for G’Town fans to see the Jordan jumpman on the uniforms?

Not nearly as awkward

As it is for Syracuse fans to see gray uniforms on their guys.

yeah that was

weird.

At least we aren't wearing those Platinum numbers.

Nike shoved that shit pile right on top of Cuse.

And we’re getting out rebounded by these Munchkins.. smh

here we go

Go Time!! That half is over time to Win this!

HOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

All right fellas and the six women that actually follow this blog....

Time to get it cranked up for the second half!!

If Clark hits his average

I like our chances

This announcer does not know what senioritis is.

Because he just described the basketball application of the exact opposite of its effects…

Reverse-senioritis

haha yeah i was about to say

i like how “senioritis” in bball means starting to work hard

I feel sick.

Perhaps it’s the eight ball I just did…or the Hoyas defensive pressure. Not exactly sure.

uh also we're down 10, uncool

Dante Taylor is the new Jerelle Benimon

More fouls than points.

hahaha

this foul stuff is getting funny

Drinking so much faster.

but are you doing so with the sloppiness and breakneck speed of the last possession?

but isnt zone MUCH better given the size/speed difference between our lineups? i’ve never regretted having us play zone

funny story about gibbs

was in my bro’s (the dick from above comments) class in 2nd grade, used to go behind people using the urinal, and poke them in the kidney as they peed.

can't tell from my phone

I assume Tyler’s tits have been deployed – right?

SirHoya - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

That and worse

Of course.

Early in the first half

Do we have another bullet to fire to get us through the second?

need ll cool j

Mmmm

Will this do?

gahh

They have indeed!

And that’s why I’m still cleaning up my vomit from my wooden floors.

I'm concerned

If the boob shoes are the cause of our problems, are more tits really the solution?

muauaha

love sims casually draining it post foul

So now we're in the bonus

Good thing we’re so good at FTs

Needed Bucket!

Now RATCHET up the defense Hoyas!!

Henry. Motherfucking. Sims.

LET’S GOOO

"sims drank 5 hr energy at halftime break"

thanks jackass

Sims if fucking on fire right now.

feed his ass!!

scrappy game.

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

Automatic ejection for throwing elbow?

No idea what Starks is doing out there

ummm...

starks is starting to get me concerned

Elbow to the head

Flagrant by rule?

ok that ish on trawick looked bad

This is going to be interesting.

that is a walk

if at least no call

he shouldn't be ejected for that.

why are we not pressing?

Jabril should get two shots and two punches.

If they gave him two punches

Pitt would need two ambulances

what defense

best defensive stance

ive seen thjis year

Good defense finally!!

Keep it up!

THERE'S the defense I know and love

Keep it up!

I expected Greg Monroe to get T'ed up on that review somehow

crazy defensive scramble

effective?

NO ONE HURTS JABRIL

I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND FEED YA TO THE JUNGLE, GIBBS …. That wasn’t a threat at all

whittington 3

going under the kitchen sink to see if i can find something to drink

Did hit one earlier, late in the first half

But back-to-back long shots by Greg is not optimal offensive functioning

ah

i decided to turn off the tv for those 5 min to see if the game changed momentum

he made one earlier

i can deal with a couple attempts

must score here

or not

let's try here

fuck

wtf is up with us shooting random jumpers the split second we're within remote range of the basket???

a couple shaky possessions there

OK, need a buckt on this trip

Give it to Henry

Or Otto, apparently.

He got it done!

Great poise by Otto

Stop please

Within six!

Keep the faith everyone. Catholic karma should swing in another minute or two.

ugh

"porter showing unusual strength for a freshman"

win!

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

Hello Otto Porter! You should be taking every shot for the last 8 minutes

CLOSE. THE FUCKING. GAP.

Now.

Cracking open another beer...

Will be drunk by dinner. Thanks Hoyas!

uh demoralizing

THAT

is why you play zone

Otto just got owned on that one.

I’m now shifting to heroin for the stretch run.

greatness - lateral quickness = Otto Porter

that hurts

wow

Feels about right

Great pic!

And exactly how this blog collectively feels right about now.

Is Hollis' injury bothering him?

The Dulcet Tones of Rich Chvotkin - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

At some point he will stop calling TO's after baskets

They always come out of it with a bonehead play.

Fudge.

i hate basketball

that is all.

can't get on any kind of groove

vivanloshoyas - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

What's the bigger mess -

our play out of any/all play stoppages, or the idea that Snoop & Paris Hilton will record a duet?

Valiant attempt to distract from this shitshow

i am unhappy

we are not winning

i also had to pay $26 today for return shipping on a gdamn duvet

these things are unquestionably related

that's obscene

is USPS going to be hand-delivering the feathers back to the geese they’d been taken from?

UPS... and they better fricken be

my selection of carriers, btw, was based on online shipping calculators. which LIED.

HOW DOES HOLLIS MISS THAT?!?

not a lot of movement on offense for G'Town..

way too much standing and watching.

WTFBBQ

GET IT TOGETHER

back to halftime deficit

I hate life

And the only think I have to drink right now is water.

do you have bleach or drain cleaner?

This looks a lot like...

how Nova plays offense…standing around and bad shots early in the shot clock.

I gotta a bad feeling about this.

dont want to be compared to nova o

unless it involves coke

Hollis still struggling

No lift

I wish I could quit you

Porter for three?

I hope to hear that so many more times.

I looked down to answer a text

And when I looked up Lubick was back in the game. Whaaaa?

must make

i miss sims already

…as i wrote it

Refs kinda want us

Back in the game…

vivanloshoyas - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

GET YO FREETHROWZ

Ok. We need stops. We need stops right now.

Right god damn now.

If we can CAN a three on this next trip...

there is life.

no, there is only pain

and disappointment

Are you describing my sex life?

For your sake, I sincerely hope not.

You’ll need something to cheer you up after this game ends.

I think there's some of my Grandpa's pain meds in a bottle.

Underneath the bathroom sink.

Those work too!

bad shot.

hate life

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

Is Lubick going to cover anybody or watch the cheerleaders????

i think he's just going to run in circles

looking for the point of life or some fries or something

The Lorry Michel Backrub - January 28, 2012 reply

I'm tired of lubick

I want Mikael in

For a couple of possessions.

vivanloshoyas - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Lubick blows the D again

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

This has been a shitty day

So, i think the lesson today is:

Don’t fall behind by 17 in the first ten minutes of the game.

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

Lubic can't score, can't rebound, and can't play D...why is he on the court?

Cause he "hustles"

It’s a joke

The Lorry Michel Backrub - January 28, 2012 reply

get lubick the fuck out of the game

normally his d is redeeming, today it is crippling

Previous basket was all on Henry

no way. he needed to step up to the guy driving

lubick needed to cover the other man

That was the most recent one.

Talk about the previous one, with the guy wide open under the hoop when Henry just let his man get away from him.

Fuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccck.

As Goose said to Maverick....

“This is not good, this is not good, Mav!”

At least...

if you guys lose it’s because Pitt out played you and not because one guy one your team decides to shoot 8 3’s a game even though he shoots a robust 27% from downtown.

when hollis makes 1 shot today

its no excuse. we need to grow balls

Not helping

Don’t want to be outplayed by a shit team any more than I want our players to make shitty decisions on the court

sometimes the other team...

is just better on that day.

Anyone get the feeling

That no matter how shitty their season, some teams LOVE to see us on their schedule. This is fucking sickening. What a bag of shit today has been.

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

def

pitt fans all wearing enormous shit eating grins today

This is true

Major shit eating grins

Out of the TO again with garbage

JTIII is a joke of a coach. I’m out.

So "30yrHoyafan" shows up today

And does nothing but trash the coach all game. Great contribution.

There's one in every family

Er, lunch blog.

I'm soooooooooooooooo happy to not be back home today.

Fuck

I rarely ever say this but this ones on 3… We were not ready to defend there offense

How many layups and dunks have we given up today.. My god

We lost to an inferior team point blank period.. this one hurts..

I think at this point, we're PITT's bitch

According to my bitch-theory of sports. Nova’s our bitch

except in 1985.

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

These Pitt kids sure are excited

About their soon-to-be 2-7 Big East record.

Uninformed Person - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

1-7 team, we're ranked 10th, and we were expected to lose

What’s wrong with this picture? Awful.

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

Hollis

I was preparing to miss his scoring next year, not this year.

monroesrighthand - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

The good thing is he is playing his was out of the draft, so he might be back

Can't watch.

i like how we work the shot clock down

and then leave them 100% open for a backdoor cut

Ugly, ugly, ugly

Tivo auto switched to Law and Order

I’m letting it stay there

good decision

L number 4 on the season people.

Not pretty. But we need to digest it quickly and move on. UCONN coming to town in three days.

that u conn game has definitely gone to "oh crap" status

please tell me we're not fouling today

group seppuku?

http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2008/03/the_lead_is_safe.single.html

I wish more coaches would read this

Whatever

No big deal

I never wanted to be happy again anyway

We've given up more easy backdoor action today than

Nah…too easy

Your Mom?

We score a basket and JTIII calls a timeout.

Given our general execution coming out of those, why bother? We’re down 11. Just let them fight it out till the game ends.

Vee Sanford's Next-door Neighbor - January 28, 2012 reply

Time for an investigative report!

Is Hollis not playing because of his groin, or because there’s something up between him/the coach/the team? He’s just been on the bench way too much at critical moments over the last few games.

Let's hear it for our Hoyas

The “Get Healthy” opponent of the downtrodden. Sad. Predictable. Familiar.

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

re trawick

“he and ashton gibbs have been exchanging pleasantries all afternoon”

hehe

Very much OK with that foul in this situation

Probably shouldn’t make a habit of it, but I appreciate that he seems to feel the same way I do about this Pitt team.

Agree - tt was intentional, but it wasn't dangerous

I appreciate the fiery aggression

+1

mm fiery aggression

Is Trawick about the have a casual encounter

with the Hoya Cougar Squad?

i think we'll probably be busy for a while

no doubt casual plans to dispatch us for that hollis thompson groin investigation

HoyaJoker07 - January 28, 2012 via iPhone app reply

If so, do I vomit?

Yes. Yes I do.

Well... if they do

They’re celebrating a win that everyone thought they would get anyway

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

No, they won't.

The time has come to scroll back up

and stare at LL Cool J until this game ends

I was just wondering the same.

If it's time to stare at LL Cool J?

The answer is always yes, especially if you went and found those pain meds.

JT3 just messing with them now

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - January 28, 2012 reply

WHY? Let the bleeding stop and just let the clock run out

I'm kind of pissed that Hollis is racking up points in garbage time

Where the fuck were you all game, dude?

+1

Yeah, garbage time masked a terrible performance

Is he still hurt? He is such an important cog to the offense, he needs to perform every game.

The Dulcet Tones of Rich Chvotkin - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

HEI

NOUS

Ugh

Falling back into the shitshow that is the middle of the Big East standings.

Indeed

Needed that win. Ugh.

As long as the rollercoaster is only emotional

an the tracks don’t ultimately lead anywhere near 10th place. The next few games are important & tough, but not as dangerous as this group of Panthers with bruised egos.

myfiancewenttodukepleasedon'thateme - January 28, 2012 reply

Positive Prognosis...

We have chowed less ass thus far this year than we did last year?

TouomouIsMyHomie - January 28, 2012 via mobile reply

this team needs to understand

they have to maintain their intensity for two halves of basketball. not 1. don’t they teach them that at georgetown? isn’t that a course objective in the problem of god?

Going to make myself feel better by watching NHL Skills competition.

…and cheering for my favorite players from…um…Pittsburgh (sigh)…(confused)

this is a PSA to wade tandy

time for me to drink the beer you bought

depression —> alcohol

assuming he watched the game

that decision should be understood & supported

cue drinking rampage tonight

redemption coming feb 1st and 8th.

Keep

telling yourself that

'CuseRugby - January 28, 2012 reply

Lets not get too cynical...

After all, lots of their offense was based on nifty backdoor cuts that we couldn’t have possibly expected. I think its called the “Princeton” offense. We should look into that.

My six state...

killing spree is still ongoing. Still room in the car if some G’Town people want to join.

I want in!

Good god how many layups and dunks did we give up..

Pitt crushed us in points in the paint and they don’t have a post player.. We were way to concerned with guarding the 3 line than protecting the basket.. Every time Gibbs or Woodal came off a brush screen we double teamed and left the basket wide open..

News flash those guys aren’t THAT good.. Gibbs isn’t ray allen he is a 5-11 set shooter.. Woodall need time to shoot his release is as slow ad Renardo Sidney.. That was god awful. Let’s just bomb Pitt’s weak ass stadium Fruk it! lol

Next up Uconn..

At least we figured out..

Steven Tylers tits have no bearing on wins and losses…

SCIENCE!

My first

coherent post loss thought.

This was just pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is the heart in this team, there ain’t no way in hell I would let this bottom feeder of a team put up a 12pt win over my dead ass. It should have been the other way around at a minimum , who in the fuck is running this team, who is up in the grill of their team mates trying to get this shit turned around,WHO I ASK WHO??? A freshman has the team high score, REALLY are you fucking kidding me!!!! A week off and this is what you give, dunk the fucking ball and let them MF’s know just who they are fucking with, attack attack attack.
I hope I don’t get thrown off this site but this game was pure BS and this shit has got to stop. This is why we get no respect in the polls, no respect at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to Fire JTIII

Part 38796

TexaHoya - January 29, 2012 reply

Firing JT3 is not the answer, I put the blame on the starters.

They’ve been there before, they’ve played these teams it’s up to the starters to get this going in the right direction. Sims should be posterizing the defense in the low post, Clark should be breaking ankles going to the rim, and Hollis should be murdering them with 3’s. The only thing that JT3 needs to do is, tell them good job and send in a freshman or two to clean up the mess. We have not played to our potential!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melvin M. Tuggle III - January 29, 2012 reply

We're 16-4

Calm down

JGD - January 29, 2012 reply

I know I know!!!!!!!!!

It’s not the numbers it’s the opponents, were beating ourselves at this point. I for one would like to only have one or two games to play for the BE championship and then roll into the NCAA tournement on fresh legs. Remember 2009-2010, by the time we, (JT3’s 7 players) got to the championship game we were spent. I’m just looking at the big picture.

Melvin M. Tuggle III - January 29, 2012 reply

Understood

But it’s still January and we’re 16-4 with a very manageable last 9 games before the Big East Tournament.

JGD - January 29, 2012 reply

I'd be fairly happy if we reached the BET final and were spent

That would be a heck of a lot better than most of our preseason expectations for this team.

HoyaSmacksYa - January 29, 2012 reply

Good Lord!

Melvin, I completely understand postgame anger…and apparently in your case misplaced rage at your HC, but that little diddy you put up was crazy talk man. And that’s coming from a dude who actually got into a physical altercation with a Cuse fan at last year’s home game. Go with God, my son. Seek therapy now!

Cuse Swallows - January 30, 2012 reply

Georgetown’s a young, inconsistent team that’s going to have high highs and low lows. We’re going to love them, we’re going to hate them, and we’re gonna enjoy the hell out of the ride.
