CasualHoya - February 1, 2012 reply

A coworker has a nice

Puffy vineyard vines winter coat. What’s up with that?

I’m not getting into the 96 big east final (CRUSHING) but to add insult to injury we then were ousted in the elite 8 by CHEATING John Cal & an ineligible Marcus Camby.

Great, now Im in a foul mood. Thank god I brought an opened bottle of wine with me today knowing I wouldn’t get out of work in time for a real happy hour. Yep, its in my desk drawer. Planned on drinking out of a paper cup on my way to verizon. Classy.

hoyafan03 - February 1, 2012 reply

That is ridiculously classy

You need some kind of casual thermos

screw cap or cork?

CasualHoya - February 1, 2012 reply

Screw cap is the new classy

So I can only assume…

white or red?

Lord Humongous - February 1, 2012 reply

Love it

(And I applaud your foresight…)

wow thanks for agreeing!

Its a nice pinot noir (red) from oregon. A Corvalis reserve (cant let it go to waste and it was opened on sunday!) Screw top so it wont leak. I might need every last drop.

Remember 2 years ago...

when Awesome went absolutely Batchit against Uconn in the phone booth??

Hollis.. Pretty Please… Imjussayin

That was a phenomenal game! Down by 17 at half I believe and then Austin scored like 3 less points than the entire uconn team in the second half!

iheartgregmonroe - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Enjoy

Did anyone ever

figure out why you can’t post only a link in the body of a comment

Dammit, SBNation.

I’m stupid, click this.

Holy Chit What. A. Game!!!!!

And OMG could Austin score the ball… God I hope DSR can come close to that when he gets to the Hilltop..

please georgetown

don’t make me hate going to work tomorrow.

aaaaand there's Nate

with a bad pass!

bunk moreland - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

good energy on defense so far

Especially

after that 7-0 Huskie run

i wrote that after first two possessions.

JC for 3eeeeeeee

Nice to see Hollis

still can’t make a shot

Hollis airball

Lamb 3, bad pass by Nate, alley-ooped…not an encouraging start. Yikes.

We cant defend the lob for anything

More dunks tom robinson or drummond

henry with another slow start

especially on defense

Georgetown's Defense =

Allow dunks on each possession

Offense getting good spacing and movement

now is it possible to play both sides of the ball?

Clark looking good

Silly passes need to be cleaned up

Sims god damn it go at drummond

Jason Clark will save us

I think he's scored most of our points so far

So that prediction seems right on the money

Markel's FTs

Just all our points from the floor.

good news

no fouls on markel

clark doing his best freeman impression

bad attempt, though.

Fair enough

But we gotta hit those open ones, and I’d rather it not be Nate Whittington taking the shot

Greg has to make that shot, seriously had 6 inches over napier

dickie v has ranted for 5 minutes

on this boatright shit. isnt he paid to comment on the games?

in his defense, nobody's scored in that time period

unclear why he's paid

HookerInTheLane - February 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Whittington needs to get more rotation on his shot

oh, AND DOMINATE THE POST AGAINST A MIDGET.

Sims draws the charge!

Signs of life from the big fella. And UCONN can’t score. Good things.

Pretty sure nate

Just put on orlanders uni to get back in the game

under 12 minute TO = BOURBON TIME.

So the defense clamps up

and all of a sudden offense can’t do squat…i guess Jason heard me…

This game officially sucks

These teams score less often than SFS nerds.

Like Jason and Markel being aggressive so far

But it’d be nice if Hank would do more than hold the ball 3 seconds and throw it back to someone else.

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Definitely

Not even looking to score

You know what sucks

Espn fucking 3

We know. It's like watching a racially diverse episode of Gumby.

WHAT THE FUCK

KIND OF PASS WAS THAT?! DOES HE HAVE T-REX ARMS OR SOMETHING?!

Yes, he has small arms

Prone to unforced errors

You have been personally affected by the nationwide shortage of valium, haven't you?

PORTER IS AWESOME

Otto Porter, ladies and gentlemen

Porter with the rebound & basket....and one!

surprised Dickie V. doesn't think the crowd is quiet just to hear him talk

i hate that man.

K I'm finally back from work.

We can start winning now.

WHAT AM I SEEING?!? DEFENSE?!?!?

AND SIMS ASSERTING HIMSELF?!?!?!?!

If by asserting himself

You mean getting fouled while moving away from the basket, then yes!

indeed. grown man move vs. athletic youngin'

not gonna out physical them, but can outsmart ’em.

he has to

with drummond out

I am following on gamecast

Go hoyas!

Otto

And black butte, my two favorite porters

Ah the old "Henry Sims College Life" story

Nice work coming up with new material, ESPN

I haven't heard about Jason Clarks freakishly long arms in a long time

Attaboy Hank!

Revolting shot but make those FTs…

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

What the fuck Jason

Ohhh, Clark...

Love the steal, but we need to make those shots from right under the basket!!!

I can already tell this is going to be a "dog"fight

UConn went to the Georgetown Shooting Academy

Thank God.

there he is

thank you hollis

His Hollisness has returned.

oh shit, we have a guy named Hollis playing for our team?

Sounds familiar…no…

HOLLIS!

Thank you, baby Jesus!

ABOUT FUCKING TIME HOLLIS

CasualHoya - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Welcome back Hollis.

More like that, please.

LET THE FLOODGATES OPEN

Sir hollis commands it

shit 2 on clark

Good things happen

When jabril is on the floor

yes

not afraid to drive, draw defenders, and make a play

hes gonna see a lot of time this half

with clark on the bench

I hearty bril!

HookerInTheLane - February 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Henry Sims

Georgetown’s JJ Barea

thanks, gottleib

hey, you knew I was Jewish

how thoughtful!

Way to sell it, Hank!

Sims not really scoring

But doing great on D. I’ll take it.

And drew a foul (or two?) as well

No serious complaints here

Sims - to late for SAG nomination?

Defense playing well

Points coming in fits and starts – but the zone completely stifled UCONN for 6 minutes.

ok so i've been watching for 5 minutes

and i am already being driven insane by dick vitale’s voice. he is so annoying. do people like listening to him? do fans say “yeah espn, give me more dick!” i’m pretty sure they don’t. so im confused why he’s still allowed to “call” games

um...

duke fans love the dick

Epic.. Post of the year..pause

i...can only focus on the part of that question that lends itself to very immature jokes...

hehe that was the point

Bernie Fine's wife is known to ask for more dick.

How many turnovers does orakhi have?

Loving the offensive fouls on UConn

Glad non-Nate Hoyas are drawing them. Could you imagine Dickie V’s reaction to seeing a white guy draw a charge? We’d get a five minute paean to Duke, for sure.

Ultra like

that's not a travel!!!!

The zebra giveth

and the zebra taketh away

and now they giveth again

loving the enthusiasm of that one ref…until it’s a bad call against us.

and there it was (actually not a terrible call)

Great D on the scramble there

God Hank is awful near the rim

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

That was a very aggressive indication that we got possession.

Wow.

And now for the kick

And the kicked ball call just looked like he was dancing

Too funny

wow this is an ugly ugly game so far

Can anybody explain to me how

we’ve managed to hold them without a basket for this long and still be up just 3? Oy veh!

that ref loves to blow...

his whistle

if they call those screens all game

im fine with it

Cmon O

Zone working magic

Did anyone watch the ref on that 'kick-ball' call? Hopping on one leg: highlight of the game so far

holy shit hank

get henry out of the damn game

THAT WASN'T A TRAVEL EITHER

Sims has apparently been practicing on the moving rim at McD

CasualHoya - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Where's the travel call on Lamb?

He took at least as many steps as Henry

corbett wants to blow this game

like he did the nova marquette one

I appreciate the enthusiasm by the refs

but I think it’s about time they do a bit of swallowing…of their whistles, that is

For Fuck's Sake HANK

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

our offense is just as bad as uconn's right now

One point better actually

Score?

18-17 hoyas, 4:40 left

18-17, we're up by 1 w/ 4:40 left

I’m sure everyone has a good reason for asking for the score on here, but can someone explain to me?

BuryMeAtGeorgetown - February 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I've always wondered that

If you can get to this site, you can get to ESPN.com, right?

wow we really, really can't shoot.

fortunately neither can they.

Feels like we're getting better looks, though

Jason and Hollis driving pretty successfully…more of that maybe?

I think he heard youuuuuuuu....

Right after we go up 6

That'll make it 23-17 at the under-4 timeout

Hollis graduating

They grow up so slow

6 pt spread!

If UConn keeps scoring once every 9 mins WE WIN!!!

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Good rebounding so far, and not just by Otto

Defense has been great, and with all those UCONN misses, good that we’re not allowing second chances. Need to keep that up.

That basket should waved off

Goaltend maybe?

cuz of the hang time or cuz the foul was before?

hanging, i'm betting

The hangtime

Yea

Why wasn’t it? Incompetence or Do I not know the rule?

hoyafan03 - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

There were players somewhat nearby underneath him...

So the argument could be made that he hung up there for safety. It was borderline.

Nate swiping at Drummond like some deranged yeti

dumb foul

On the other hand

At least it was a hard enough foul to make Drummond see stars for a second there

hope so

In order to truly channel the spirit of the deranged yeti

Nate needs facial hair growing lessons from Kilicli

oh hi nate

Really nice appeal for the wave off from the one manager at the end of the bench.

Was that you Harvey?

gottlieb at the half

dickie v during the game…rough night indeed

wooooosh

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

HEY ANDRE

it would be so awesome if sims would finish.

so, so awesome

it would be, but he was totally swarmed there

i’m just glad we retained possession

very true

we'd be unstoppable

Henry's hooker

Horizontal

Usually, that's a good thing...

Horizontal hookers?

So that’s what they meant by too much fun in college.

JTIII does not allow those on the floor of McDonough during practice

Hank Sims

so smooth

Henry channeling Hibbs!

Hollis on D!

THIS

He is doing very well on both sides of the floor. Hopefully he keeps it up all game. And then all season.

27-19 @ 2:00

Nice jumper from Sims just inside the arc

nice strip AGAIN

our D just needs to stop inside presence

HEY GUYS LOOK DEFENSE!

Part of me wishes Henry was shorter

So shooting face up could be his job

Latest whistle ever?

Whittington is going to be tough

Once he hits puberty.

Sims! Monroe-esque!

And Hank finished

that was awesome. i retract all my criticism.

HOW DID THAT GO IN!?

SIMS SCORING IN THE FIRST HALF!! LET’S GOOOOOOO

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!!!

sims is making progress

only took 18 minutes to get started

Sims making layups?

Does not compute

Score?

31-21

end of 1st

31-21 at the half

Good D by Sims on Drummond too

HAAAAANK

HA!

How long have you been waiting to break that out?

Almost to the point

of writing Henry a sternly worded letter re: making the opportunity

Awesome

I wish I had this

ohhhhh there is good nate

guess that's why we keep nate in.

that was a sick pass

31 21 good guys

Holy Fuck

Smothering defense and pretty offense!

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

what do you think calhoun's drink of choice is?

whiskey?

From the wrinkles on his face... I'd say formaldehyde

what the hell is dick vitale talking about...

great way to end it

zone looked phenomenal

jt3 needs to be ready bc calhoun will come out with offensive adjustments to combat zone

probably

but UConn has been struggling with zone defense for a while now (not just this game)

ATTENTION CASUAL HOYA

Nate Lubick has made me eat my words…for halftime at least

You sure?

I mean, statistically, he didn’t have that good of a half.

WarmupEwing - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

That pass

was enough to satiate me for the next 10 minutes…although I will certainly be quick to forget all that if he comes out and does somethin stupid early

Heeeeeeyyyyy that’t Hoya D right there…..

Halftime?

Yup

How’s the gamecast?

Yup

http://www.firstrow.tv/watch/105277/1/watch-connecticut-vs-%2814%29-georgetown.html

have you tried

We should be up 20

UConn is terrible.

Jason, Hollis, and Henry

Have decided they don’t want to lose another game. Me gusta.

No sound here at the bar

Is Dicksmack Doug Gottlieb hating on us?

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Worse

They are talking about Fab Melo

not really

calling UConn selfish and a mess

Not sure...

If he looks douchier than usual or just usual douche.

They're talking about Fab Melo

And his magical 11th hour mastery of matching colors & shapes

Possibly because they're so used to using the former

Umm, wrong way around. Fail.

Halftime Conspiracy Update

Providence 40, Rutgers 26

Good start guys.. Let’s go Hoyas 40 minutes!!

Uconn.. 11 points in the first 3 minutes...

10 in the last 17..

Great D..40 minutes Hoyas!!

Key will be keeping

Intensity for first 5min of second half. If we win that battle by 3 to 5 points, uconn will mail it in. Ive watched enough of them to know they aren’t that mentally tough

I havent felt this good about a gtown game in the first half

in a long time. It sure is a nice feeling.

nice to see multiple players clicking on offense

and everyone playing defense.

hollis has been a beast on the boards

Question is

do we push the ball to Hollis now that we’ve seen he can hit? or do we not change a thing?

not a question

keep feeding the beast

I mean, I'd like to believe that

but of course there’s that old saying…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Ugh

hollis

more rebounds in first half of this game than he has had in any other full big east game

I hope JTIII is saying this at the half

“Hey guys, isn’t this fun? Let’s keep doing it. What do you say?”

you feel good about our offense?

I will lead a laptop theft ring

I’m just so inspired by that UConnvict commercial.

Beats the hell out of "nice pick"

I will travel through time

I will be investigated by the NCAA...

Melvin M. Tuggle III - February 1, 2012 reply

Is that Josh Hart behind the team bench again?????

didnt see

sure hope so. think he is ours to lose

uuuuuhhhhhhh....

This

Yikes. What was that shot?

Markel nooooo

Are you kidding me?

Oh dear...Markel...

DUNK THAT.

What. The fuck. Jason.

Glad we're talking about Pitt's NCAA chances again

Otto for starks early

Big team out there

Blech.

Did the team hit the concession stands at halftime and eat too many fries?

UCONN looking a lot hungrier for rebounds so far

Nervousness returning…

We're the players just doing the hokey pokey?

Yes, we are

I didn't see that. But I really hope so.

I requires more coordination than “I’m a little teapot”, and the ability to tell right from left!

2nd Half here we come.....

I think the 2-3 zone has been very effective thus far. UConn can’t hit the outside jumper, so let’s stay in that until they start making some shots. Lubick should just be a minutes eatter right now. I do not want him in at the end of the game if we need some big buckets, he also can’t shoot FT’s. Let’s keep it up Hoyas!!

Score?

Sorry this is annoying

Same as half

yeah... don't ask

at 17:36

Gtown up 10, with 17:30 remaining….

31-21 still

Ugly start

Hollis ends the drought....34-21 good guys

Thanks guys

lubick hustle!

maybe UConn should foul more to disrupt our play...

UConn needs to start making shots before they dare start to put us on the line!

Hollis

hahaha

Ooh, we scored! Hollis for three!!!

34-21

Anybody think

we should put an Anti-Hollis forcefield around the 3-point line? Just keep him where he’s most effective, right?

He drove for at least one good layup tonight and has been doing some nice rebounding work.

So, no. Not at all.

His rebounding has been phenominal this game. And the dribble drive, I stil don’t know how he made that! He’s a stud.

we don't have the technology for that

Or the budget

Practice facility first, then force field

Also, we don't have a School of Engineering...

he's way less effective

when he isn’t trying to be a complete player. His best attribute is 3-point shooting, but he has to give us a complete performance. We will be so much better

Besides the Alabama and Louisville game, his overall performance has been disappointing considering how great he was last year.

I agree

but he’s ROLLING tonight!

I think this requires

some re-thinking

I meant on the offensive end

It could be a mobile force field

DON'T STIFLE MY CREATIVITY

Still want that force field?

See above comment for statement of withdrawal

Carry on

Mobile forcefield

The kind of creativity that belongs on that UCONN commercial.

yea that was funny, i laughed out loud

then they dunked on us. i stopped laughing

Hollis made the last basket and was fouled, about to shoot for the and-1

You are the neatest

i hope hollis stops teasing

and is able to do this on command for the rest of the season.

he just needs to put out more.

LOL

He obviously likes when dick is in the house

Ohhh, but he likes to tempt us...

New plan

Don’t defend shooters, just make sure no dunks possible

sims come on buddy

see ya sims

more hopkins!

Henry Sims

please no more fade aways…

Still leading the nation in alley-oops against stat.

Speed is not our game guys

nice couple of possessions Haaaank

Fuck off drummond

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

I happen to like my ass pure and unadulterated

But I see your point

Jesus. How many times did they fumble the ball there?

Huge Stretch of the game here

I don’t feel comfortable at all. We need to try and keep this 10 point cusion as long as possible….

aaaaaand Hollis to the bench

and keep hollis with 3

Why go back to man

Need moar zone

Soooooooo

maybe some interior offense now? a dunk for us possibly?

Maybe a pony for me

While we’re on the topic of impossible dreams

Dunk? We only do that on special occasions.

Clark had a dunk today. When was last time Gtown played above the rim??

Clark is the only guy

who WILL dunk the ball…

Someone needs to step up and score

with Hollis out.

on jason

NOT sims

Yes

Jason needs to be the guy

37-29 @ 13:07

Three fouls on Hollis is worrisome. JTIII calls a time out.

Good TO by III in my opinion

yes

agreed

except for what the hell is this out of the huddle play???

JT3 ain't putting up with any crap!

took markel out after the selfish fastbreak play and Sims after his Olowokandi impression

Please please please

Let their white guys keep shooting

TouomouIsMyHomie - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Why doesnt Starks step it up for us and get some points!

HOPKINS BLOCK!

and score

Espn3's image is fuzzy so I thought it was hollis from the way he drove

me gusta

HOPKINS DRIVE

HOPKINS SMASH!

Wait, what?

Damn!

Someone tell me why Hop hasn’t been playing much

And dribble drive!

HOPKINS

okay

MIKAEL!

Hopkins blocking that shot was key

Because, as usual, we did NOTHING out of the timeout.

AND he scores!

Nice sequence for Hopkins!

no kidding

amazing

wow

hopkins is good

Hopkins

is figuring out the offense. The more we can play him, the better for our team and defense!

I think that's Clark 3rd foul...not good

Also

with 7 seconds left on the shot clock…worst kinda foul

Terrible foul, at the top of the key. If you foul you make sure the guy doesnt make the shot

Don’t bail them out when you;ve played great D for 23 seconds!

i like the hopkins attitude

no after the whistle shots at our end

foul trouble for upperclassmen

time for freshmen to maintain lead

i love that this season, that second part isn't a delusional statement.

othella deserves a big raise

Big Man U is still at 37th and O

Waitwaitwaitwait

Did Dick Vitale just compare M Hop to John Wall?

I believe you are correct sir

and not actually tripping balls, as you surely thought you were

You're still listening to Dick Vitale?

WHAT THE FUCK IS VITALE TALKING ABOUT

Clearly confused now

spiraling out of control

for about 5 seconds there it was just a series of sounds, no words

Better than last year

When Bob Knight simply started making up words

heheh yea that was a fun game

It will shortly turn into simply

a string of incomprehensible noises

Just let him go.

At least he’s not talking about Duke.

I think he's just naming colleges

and some are fictional.

South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs

Otto Porter

reminds me of the 2007 team

Let's keep adding to the total UConn team fouls

This Gtown team is very good at shooting FT’s. Lets start getting to that line.

Not sure if joking

Or haven’t seen our free throws lately

As of recently no...

But as a team Clark, Hollis and even Simms are very decent FT shooters.

we don’t execute enough on offense to extend leads typically, we turn it over way too much or take really bad shots that essentially gift points to the other team. Not casual.

hollis the nba prospect is back

exactly what I was thinking

aggressively looking for his offense and showing us his full repertoire. And it’s nasty.

Hollis is tearing shit up

If this is what it looks like when he looks for his shots and takes over a game, I want more.

Trawick hurt his wrist and is with the trainer.

thanks for doing a better job calling the game than the announcers

No no no no.

42-32 @ 9:43

Terrible call on the block

Adda boy Whittington!

Oof

Hollis 3 would’ve been glorious there. Instead we get that shit…

But we made a really nice recovery on defense

the future is damn good looking

JT3 LOVES that TO before the media TO this year

would be nice if it led to a good shot

and there it is

dangerous moment here

this is where we either step on their throats or this turns into a close game

45-39 @ 7:37

We went scoreless on the last two possessions and let them get two easy baskets.

And the lead is down to 6.

They never make it easy

talking superbowl now?

That's more topical than the lead in

Discussion of how Papa McDonough would be proud of Sean. WTF?

Hollis' 3 makes it 13 points

Instead, it’s now 6 points…i need my blood pressure meds

I think we need to....

start trying to slow the game down a little bit. JT3 needs to put his best squad on the court right now and try to supress this UConn run. Huge stretch in the game here.

Goal out of TO!!!???

that's like finding a yeti!

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then.

Score out of a timeout!

Score out of a timeout!
Score out of a timeout!

Hit turbulence on my flight

Right when uconn made run

The correlation is clear

Ominous

One thing I like about Nate

When he dives to the floor, I don’t have to hold my breath

Trawick on bench or back to locker room?

great hustle lubick

It's official

Vitale has talked about everything EXCEPT the Georgetown game so far tonight

Why talk about the game

When you can talk about Superbowl ticket prices?

One day

he’ll look up from a rambling sandwich-related memory and wonder “what are all these 20-year-olds doing on that hardwood floor there?!”

If he's gonna have a sandwich during the game

The least ESPN could do is document it

I'm waiting for him to mention pitchers and catchers report soon

and he likes the tampa bay rays chances this year

He hasn't talked about cricket yet

It should be any moment now.

47-39, 7:09, media TO, UConn ball after held ball

Turbulence supposed to be just a few more minutes

Hang on hoyas

Jason Clark

says everything will be OK. 49-39, 6:16

Can we just foul Drummond for the hell of it

Watching him try to work his arms to shoot free throws is the most fun I’ve had all season

those free throws...

and to think Drummond will be paid (more) to play basketball

That's right

Let Baby Greg Oden shoot those free throws. His stroke is Macklin-esque.

They probably think

They’re doing Florida-Miss. State next week, or something.

and now

he’s talking about Anthony Davis. We must enjoy those fleeting moments as they pass…

What do we need to do

To get a basket interference call against Drummond?

someone PLEASE make a gif out of that jump

Did the replay have a good angle?

I think it was more psychologically than visually impressive.

Remember when we thought Jason had to be the guy to score?

Just kidding, all you big fella!

not a BE game

without those WTF calls

Your concept of what is and isn't a foul intrigues me.

You must explain it to me one day.

Why does Lubick always shotput his free throws?

he’s more of a 3-point gunner, ya know?

We made the front end of a 1-and-1

And it was Nate, no less!

What is this front end

What was that thing Nate did with his head during his FT stroke?

That call...

are you freaking kidding me?

Forget Maggie Thatcher naked on a cold day

Just picture Lubick’s free-throw form.

UCONN

was just bad, I’m going to go with it though

saxual healing - February 1, 2012 reply

We played well, too!

Sims was actually able to finish inside when he wasn’t turning it over, Hollis had the best rebounding game he’s had all season, we got some solid minutes from the bench (particularly Porter – as always – and Hopkins) and Starks stayed out of foul trouble. Clark was all-around performing the way a senior needs to.

It wasn’t a stellar game, but we decidedly outplayed them.

Hey Tex keep calling out Lubick..(Not Joking)

Everytime you do he has a game.. I’ll call It the Lubick Meter

Ok bro, chill out there

He had a garbage time layup, a nice pass, and a couple of good rebounds. Great to see we can count on the guy for the bare minimum.

Stats shmats Tex..

I can see the maturity of those on this blog

will never allow me to live that comment down. Also, I didn’t quote any numbers, I gave you his night in a sentence.

P.S. Easy for him to look good with Markel/Jabril not playing at all

Maturity?

Nah. More dick jokes plz.

If you didn’t see him keeping balls alive on the boards..

Getting after it on the defensive end, and diving for loose balls.. I don’t know what to tell you.. Would be interesting to hear what you didn’t like about his game tonight. We don’t need everybody to be a star. We just need everybody to play there role, that’s what playing like a team means. He did that tonight give him his props.

Liked the new look on offense from three.. First time this year we used the double high post.. Gave the offense a different look. really nice

I saw him dive for one (1) loose ball

and he didn’t make a multitude of blunders, which was good. If you notice below, I gave him some credit, did I not?

Ok bro do you.. but please please keep calling him out..(Not Joking)

He seriously plays better when you do.. Like before the Nati game when you went on a rant and he showed up with 8 and 8… You think I’m being snarky but I’m actually being serious, maybe it’s a sign..shrugs

you still dont get it

and i dont think you ever will. more happens on the court than what shows up in the box score.

Look man

I watched the same game you did. He had a better game than he’s had, fine, I’ll concede that. In fact, I may go so far as to say he was a more effective player tonight than Otto was. Despite that, by no means am I willing to agree to your point of view until I see some gosh darn consistency from the guy.

what is my point of view?

i just think lubick needs to play. and benching him hurts the team.

That, precisely

is the point of view I disagree with. If he’s getting bench minutes anyway, why not just finish the deal and make Otto the starter? How exactly does it “hurt the team” if Lubick isn’t on the floor for the first 5 minutes? Do I need to remind you how the first 5 minutes of THIS game went?

i didnt say he needs to start. i said he needs to play. i disagree with you everytime you say “nate cant play” or “he isnt an important part of the team”

georgetown didnt play defense for the first four minutes of the game, which included 2 with lubick and 2 with porter.

The reason why is..

As a coach you have to coach games for today but also keep tomorrow in mind… It’s important for 3 to play Nate to get Hopkins some minutes because we’re gonna need these guys over the next couple of years to be successful.

It’s the same phylosophy that Boehslime used with Fab Melo last season. Bigs take longer to develop (Henry Sims) so you have to be patient with them and their development.

Watching Henry and seeing how slow of a starter he is makes me wonder was Henry really always this same guy but 3 just had a quick trigger on him.. He’s making the same mistakes he has mad 4 years here. The difference is 3 is letting him work through it now, when in previous years he would have been parked on the bench.

A lot of posters who saw Henry in High School rave about how skilled he was at St. Joes. Maybe he was mismanaged and coach has learned from his mistakes, They all can’t be Greg Monroe..

That is why I believe we need to play Nate

Hollis Thompson

18 pts, 9 rebs, 3 stl. We need that effort every. damn. game.

Wow Henry with 7 to’s yeeeesh..

Oof

Fat red-headed mess calling this Baylor game. Creep.

When the starters step up and you dunk the ball, you let them MTF’s know who they dealing with!!!! Also I do have God in my life and I don’t need therapy!!! This is how we need to play from here on out………………..

Great win and there were actually students in the stands

Melvin M. Tuggle III - February 1, 2012 reply

I wouldn't get too too excited about this win...

Yes the Hoyas played great tonight. I thought JT3 did a great job in the beginning of the game of switching from man to the 2-3 zone, that really halted the UConn offense in that 14-15min stretch. But you have to admit, UConn played horrible today. Gtown was 10times more physical on the rebounding aspect, and UConn could not save a shot to save their lives. Considering Clark and Hollis were both in foul trouble early in the second half, if UConn coulda made any type of run, the game would’ve been so much closer. Great win by the Hoyas, but I’m not too sure if we looked that good, or if UConn was that bad.

never understood

why when another team plays well its georgetown’s fault and when another team plays poorly its their own fault.

Never understood

Why so many GU students/alumni really want to go to Duke.

Kind of agree with a little of both arguments

UCONN hasn’t been at their best this season, for whatever reason, but I wouldn’t call them a bad team. We made them look pretty awful for some significant stretches in this game with our defensive effort, which I think is definitely a positive sign. Our upperclassmen stepping up was also a good sign, as was the physicality on the boards and hustle for loose balls…any number of things.

So, yes, UCONN is not the highest quality opponent this year, but it still goes down as a good win in my book, and a step in the right direction for getting out of this mini slump – if we maintain that level of effort and our offense works as well (or better, it wasn’t THAT hot) as it did tonight, we will definitely be able to handle better teams as we did the Huskies tonight.

Very reasonable

At this point in the season, there are no “bad” wins or “good losses”. We did what we needed to do to win this game, and we won pretty convincingly. We missed a bunch of opportunities and need to work on those, but one has to feel good about the overall effort. Any Hoya fan who doesn’t relish a win over UConn, no matter how it comes, is no true Hoya in my book.

SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 2, 2012 reply

Wooow this.. especially the last sentence..

yaboynyp - February 2, 2012 reply

I do think the UCONN lack of passing really made our zone look good

when teams (like Pitt) make that extra pass, our zone looks a whole lot worse. Usually when the ball gets in the paint, our zone help defense comes off their man to double team the ball leaving someone wide open near the basket.

Even sometimes in last night’s game, UCONN drove it to the basket then passed to the open man near the basket, who inexplicably did not shoot. Had they done so, they wouldnt have shot so pathetically last night.

We didn’t zone Pitt...

That was part of what was so maddening.. They kept running brush screen off the post and curling with there guards. Once the guards received the entry we would double them and leave an easy dump down to Robinson or Peterson for a layup or dunk..
