Agreed..smh.. Big game today.. 40 minutes Hoyas..

ridiculous

It’s also senior parents weekend. So I had to be up even earlier to do the pre-game breakfast.

Still confused how USF is 6-3 in the BE

It just doesn’t seem possible

Rutgers, Seton Hall, DePaul, Providence, Villanova, and St. Johns

Not sure how to feel about Voodoo Five's mixology for this game

Not really thrilled by the recipe for a Gin Rickey, though the story is cool. But I do have all the ingredients, so I will probably end up mixing one up just to say I have.

Please Hoyas

Do not force me to drink Scotch before noon.

You will never make Doc cry

That’s the guy with the horns. He’s the best.

Good luck today, but no too much.

Same to you

I remember seeing the guy with the horns at the Big East tournament like four years ago. Not too many USF fans there on the whole, but the horn helmet sure does stand out in a crowd.

He's probably the most passionate fan we have

Our women’s basketball team was horrible and they upset a ranked UNC-Charlotte team at the end of the year. Doc rushed the court by himself and tried to cut down the nets with a huge pair of cardboard scissors he made for the game.

There are at least a dozen more stories with him like this.

stop being cool. i need to hate you for two hours.

also, gin rickey with Miller’s gin = perfect summer drink.

Yeah

Sometimes it’s easier to play against teams with HDC bloggers.

Millers best for gin and tonic too.

909 Hoya - February 4, 2012 reply

Miller's just the best

Encouraging stat from ESPN's preview

The Bulls are only 10-5 when limiting opponents to 60 points or fewer, while the Hoyas are 12-0 in such contests.

Let’s make it 13-0! Or better yet, let’s blow them up for 70+, but I’m not holding my breath on that one.

tim welsh and beth mowins

mute button ON early

Slept on the couch last night -- only way I was going to end up in front of the TV by 8

Also, wife was snoring.

nice shot from Otto

At least we are just missing shots

And not turning it over

Nate should have dunked on that first possession

looked like he took off to early

Yes

It looked like we might get a glorious gif-able ThunderDunk, but he caught Henry Sims disease at the rim.

There must be a cure for that disease, because you got one after all

Though its magnificence was somewhat overshadowed by the unanticipated (but greatly enjoyed) Caprio-Bowen finale

Stream

I thought I’d be able to watch it on ESPN3, are there any Mac-friendly streams out there?

I couldn't find one either

Gov’t shut down all my streaming sites in preparation for the Super Bowl

urgh... damn ESPNU and Comcast

why couldnt MASN have picked this game up???

I have ESPNU and my screen is blank

Damn Comcast, indeed

I cannot start drinking this early

so this is ugly

Yes but...

I will gladly take it over laying a turd. Call me an optimist.

Score out of TO

Two games in a row!

And now off an inbound?

what was that set?

lots of motion…that looked different

It did

Clark running around the edge, with the pass to him when he wasn’t looking—some kind of new set play.

Much credit given to those who are there

Considering I am happily watching this game in my pajamas

My tv came on and I hear that Markel has 2 fouls

Are they just re-running the last game?

oh my god that passing...so sexy.

Will Bowen play?

HectorLuna - February 4, 2012 reply

Who missed that feed from Sims?

Good tip by Otto

Trawick. shame, sims deserved that assist.

So did USF watch tape on the Hoyas

And decide to add turnovers to their offensive gameplan?

Caught up after starting on DVR

Nice to see the offense start to work, though Henry still likes to take too many jumpers.

Also, USF is in the top 2 in the conference in points allowed because they tend to play slow-ass games. By Pomeroy they’re 10th in the BE in defensive efficiency in conference games. Hoyas are 2nd.

This “Markel early foul trouble” shtick is getting tiresome.

If Georgetown destroys USF

And no one is around to watch, does the game still count?

Just watched about 4 minutes of it

must say that I can’t believe we’re not up 20

Not sure why I had to verify that I’m 18+ to watch basketball, but I’ll take the shady feed with pleasure.

i am not worthy

hopefully the 18 year old verification fools the interwebs police

This feed is better than ESPN3's....

I tried justin.tv too

What did you search for on there to find this

Judging by the 18+ verification

You may not want to know

did live channels

saw something labelled “ball” with a pic of gtown court

that was good announcing there

re: Trawick’s defense

.9999

How does Herman Cain feel about that supernumerary nine?

Liking

the Gaelic flair on Irish unis. Still hope Lady Hoyas get even.

it cant be a coincidence

shutting down both uconn and now usf down for over 7 minutes?

don't ask questions...

if we start examining the strategy too closely, it might break.

Schrodinger's Hoyas?

Interesting.

im sorry, i hate it when i think

Seeing as last time this worked...

I’ll now ask for offense…

Sims making some nifty passes

Apparently no one wants to finish the play…

Did Doris Burke just say

Another story here is the absence of Jim Calhoun? Was he supposed to be here?

beth mowins. doris burke too good to wake up for an 11 am game.

Has anyone else noticed

That Georgetown has not been a “Big East Storyline” in any ESPN Big East broadcast this season?

Considering

Some of those stories – I am strangely comfortable with that.

damnit! FINISH THE LAYUPS!

cause lubick wouldn't have called a TO

and turned the ball over

bleeding blue, painted gray - February 4, 2012 reply

and can't finish

for shit

Lubick is beyond horrible offensively.

He is same level as bennymonster on O. Yeah, I said it.

Why we haven’t stepped on their throats yet is beyond me. They will hit some shots at some point. Not sure why III decided to take out the entire lineup 8 mins in when we were on a roll offensively.

uhhh

just got here from some dumb school stuff… 1-sentence game summary so far?

everything ugly

except Georgetown’s defense

i really enjoy us being a solid defensive team

it was a distant dream for so many years…

agreed

Hoyas on 13-0 run

That has taken TEN minutes

they haven't scored in about 10 minutes

we’re playing decent defense, but nobody can capitalize on Sims’ passes in/from the paint

Sadly

Not a typo. Score frozen for the last 8 hours, or it feels that way.

Held them scoreless from 15:04 until 4:15

Were we up by 23,000 again?

If so, no, it’s completely correct.

pathetic

Our inability to finish is a joke. Now we’re content to crank 3s

So strange. I feel like I have typed that about 100 times.

Did our offense stop when Markel got benched?

^^ This

yep

and he’s back now

No

saving itself for Syracuse.

I feel like I'm watching two cats play with a ball of yarn

I'm sure you can find a video of kittens frolicking

More easily than the (18+ only!) video feed half the Casualties are watching. Thanks, US Government.

How long

is Georgetown’s current basket drought?

Porter made a layup at 11:01

oh right

pretty much as long as USF’s was

I think that has to be the next step

This team is very good defensively when they really focus, but that doesn’t mean a lot if they can’t score while they’re getting stops. If they can put it all together, this team could be great, on the whole.

So uh

Thoughts on a 20-36 game?

beats the spead

there were three fouls on that play

zero called, tho.

Better stop checking in mid game...

I keep thinking that there’s something wrong with the score keeping… Where did our offense go?

Bear hug from 260 lb guy

apparently not a foul

not liking the momentum here

Great news

Jim Delaney saw the score on the ticker and has decided to invite both teams to the B1G. Conference stability, here we come!

OH HEY A BASKET!

Porter mugged under the basket

Travel called, Gilchrist sheepishly hands Porter’s wallet back as the ref glares.

I want to believe you

I really do

That little ESPN graph to track scoring will show both teams flatlining

No signs of life from the offense, that’s for sure

what was that defense?!

Mismatch

Hank on a PG for some reason?

They saw that press conference where the reporters focused on his assist numbers

And thought he had actually decided to switch positions

He's a defensive mastermind

He should be able to guard any position, right?

USF only down 8 at the half is a travesty

Doris' only contribution

was giving me the idea that we should give Henry the nickname THE FACILITATOR, though only if always said in the voice of the AOL moviefone guy

otherwise, being awake blows, as does the offense of this game. and i’m too hungover to drink. someone, find me an upside.

At least...

we will get a KenPom Adj.D. bump…smh.

Inability to convert on the fast break

is really going to bite them eventually. Love Jason, and he’s finished more drives to the hoop than anyone on this team, but he’s unaware of spacing on the break and killed us once by getting stripped from behind to start the run-out the other way. He also got bailed out once with a foul when he drove into traffic. Whit keeps missing layups too. I’ve heard Hoyas never practice transition and its readily apparent. It’s really a shame because our defense has been so good, it really gives us a lot of opportunities to break-out.

…we have 37 points.

Which means we've scored nearly as many points in the last 7 minutes

as we did in the first 20

When/if we get a 4th consistent scorer..

This team all of a sudden becomes extremely dangerous..

Yes but i am ok if it consistently rotates

Between otto, starks, and whitt/trawick-

Care more that sims finishes, hollis continues to shoot, we hit fts and DONT turn the ball over

Agreed.. I didn’t put Porter in that mix..

But when Starks puts the ball in the basket we become instantly dangerous.. Elite 8 dangerous

great passing

why can’t it always be this crisp…

Makes sense, but my mind would never have made the connection between that and HS soccer. Wow.

It was

truly random at the time.

I salute

this whole conversation. Another favorite to bust out against the Hun is the Dambusters theme, while holding your arms out like a plane. Your team mates were great Englishmen.

I will let them know and attempt to document.

(Note – I was not on the team, just in the class. And dating a female soccer player with a fraternal twin on the team.)

When England plays Germany

We had

some English kids on our HS soccer team.

Busted it out

for a game against a team from a heavily German town.

Almost caused a riot. Apparently several of the grandparents were former German POW’s who’d stayed here.

Otto does so many things well

But I’d hate to see him fall in love (or even like) with the 3 point shot.

So any chance we break 60?

or am i dreaming?

Dreaming.

(But I’ll happily eat my words if I’m proven wrong.)

Eat up.

HA! BETH MOWINS SO FUNNY

EXCEPT SHE GETS HER SOUTHERN NASA CITIES WRONG

I was looking down

What was she saying about NASA cities?

She said

“to quote Tampa…we have a problem shooting here”

I mean really?

That's pretty terrible

And isn’t the Space Coast on the other side of Florida?

Pretty sure

Yes

yea

Orlando is on the East coast, Tampa on the West

If you're not kidding...

Orlando is in the middle of the state. Drink that beer.

MrAwkward'sStepson - February 4, 2012 reply

As an Orlando resident...

I can confirm this.

Orlando is not on a coast

In the middle. Hence the school Central Florida.

well, was it,

“To quote, ‘Tampa, we have a problem shooting here.’” because while obviously not the actual quote, I think she knows that and it makes a modicum of sense.

No call

to give her that much credit

Documented

Waffles, eggs, and beer.. damn this early morning tipoffs.

See, I think that liquor goes better with waffles.

Pretty sure I’ve proven that over breakfast with you before.

I have to study after the game

Beer is less likely to interfere with that. Liberty Ale goes remarkably well with brunch, too.

Since when have you let studying interfere with drinking?

I’m alarmed. May need to come down to Alabama and check on you…

I like the carpet pictured above.. It looks like Birthday cake ice cream from 31 flavors

I like how I posted a picture of my breakfast & beer

and got comments on the carpet and table book

I was actually going to comment on the tile-topped table

Which I rather like…but figured I’d do so at another time

are we talking about the food or the residents of that state?

Starks...

Wow. Just wow.

These announcers

are using the term “great defense” pretty liberally.

you mean us flubbing a pass isn't great defense by USF?

Any chance

we have an Aaron Bowen sighting?

Someone tell them to stop calling time outs and fouls

and let’s just get this over with.

Wasn’t that the name of the obese kid in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

Definitely worth it.

totally worth it.

should do more of that

definitely

AGREED

Awwww Who the fuk cares!!!

Sweeeeeeeet play!

i just screamed THUNDERSNOW

LUBICK....SON!!!!

It is impossible not to hang on the rim there (speaking from experience)

RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

So worth it

Nice pass by Brill 2..

Great pass

Sick pass from bsb

BSB? That acronym means something else to you, apparently...

Dammit, google images...

Lubick has had that technical coming for two years now

Truth

Doesn’t bother me in the least, though. Nor anyone else, judging by the reactions.

Conspiracy theory of the day

Somebody has to have warned him about this the past two years. I think he wanted that T.

hot damn!!

More Hopkins please

Did he

jump from the free throw line?

Gus Gilchrest would have been a beast if he would have went here..

Instead of USF..

He's a beast now

Just doesn’t have much around him

Yeah but he would be super beast.. not the 10ppg guy he is now...We recruited him..

look how much more comfortable

these games are against the weaker opponents when we MAKE our free throws…

THIS

Times a hundred

Nevermind the free throws.

I’m still basking in the afterglow of that dunk.

It was quite a...

climactic moment, wasn’t it?

Mmmm....yes.

very casual use of the word "afterglow"

One of the best adjustments this year

Has been improved contact lens control

Shot Boi! MarkelStarksvoice

Its Caprio time?

Caprio and AB

come on down and add points to the Hoyas offense…

I won't be satisfied until I see a Caprio technical

Moose#10 - February 4, 2012 reply

miss the days when Roy used to feed people his sweaty balls

love the miked up court

Get AB in the game!!

Otto’s jumper is money 18 feet and in.. just needs to add strength

he's a special player

We see pros that have no midrange game, and he came to college ball with it. That with his nose for the ball… Damn.

Wrinkle in the offense

Wouldn’t mind to see a couple set plays thrown in with Otto and Markel or Henry and Markel running a pick and roll or pick and pop since the bigs can hit the outside jumper and market can get to the rim.

why the f would you call a timeout?

Otto batlling for rebounds still

No let-up in intensity. I like it.

Otto's elbow was within 3 feet of Gilchrist's face

Henry’s wondering where his technical is.

Otto solid from 15 to 18

Hope he can stretch it out to the 3 in the next few years

OH SHIT

IT’S 61!

Love how Bril

Gets to the line. Seeks out contact. Makes the refs call it.

we may pass USF in Big East defensive ratings today

Apparently we were already above them

when tempo-adjusted. Which is more important….maybe? Any stat wizards around to comment?

extremely more important.

tempo non-adjusted is dumb. non-adjusted tempo says our last two teams have been good on defense.

Has Hollis been in at all this half?

I wonder if his leg’s still bothering him

I thought he had a bucket early in the half

But wondering where he is as well

yeah

he had that beautiful and-1

Our scoring today has been ridiculously balanced..

awful body language from collins

hope we don’t ever have a PG that acts like he could give a shit with 5 mins left in the game

Oh, Y'all Came to See Nate Lubick Play?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xGuGSDsDrM

Otto's new nickname?

gamethread shockingly glum

Maybe my standards are too low, but any game where we have a 23 point lead with less than 6 to go is a good win. Any BE game at least.

WallaceAtTheLineShooting2 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

must be the first half that set the tone

are we glum?

i think more just sleepy.

Sleepy

the new hung-over.

did you see first half?

i think people’s eyes are still bleeding

This is true

But I think whichever pregame analysis said that playing USF feels like a lose-lose nailed it. You’re supposed to win, so it’s ho-hum if you do. But if you lose, it’s hellish.

Empty the bench

Obnoxious dunk FTW

I still remember the time Bryon Jansen shot two free throws for the 99th and 100th points against some scrub non-con opponent a few years ago. Glorious.

Let's not be too critical.

I don’t even know what you’re complaining about.

True Confession:

I don’t mind Doris Burke anymore.

I still have

a problem with Beth Mowins though

Ha.

Didn’t realize it was Mowins until the end of the game.

Students were chanting "We want Cuse"

A lot of the people on ESPN call Syracuse “the Cuse.” I don’t know if that’s like a “The Ohio State” situation or what, but I didn’t see anything unusual about it.

How did we end up with 73 points? We scored 50 this half

Somehow

this 70 points doesn’t really feel like 70 points…

Caprio to Bowen!

I may never get to say that again!

I missed it

mulling putting my children up for adoption

Maybe someone will gif it

So we can enjoy it endlessly like Henry’s dunk last game

Game wasn't on ESPN3...no video replay means I can't do it...

costing some $250K to raise is one thing

but making me miss a Caprio to Bowen alley oop? No one mentions these things in the parenting manual….

For the sake of your children, who I'm sure don't want to be given away

I’ll take jerseytornado’s suggestion & check to see if it’s part of the online recap later

You

are a goddess.

excellent...

who knows what might have happened in that orphanage, they could have gotten some bad influences, or worse, run into some Syracuse coaches….

what if it's on the espn highlight package on the espn.com recap?

we want that gif!

Caprio has some skills.. Best walk on in the country

all time best

walk on highlight? Discuss?

That I can think of? Yes, but that could just be because it's so fresh.

(And my mental archives on gtown basketball only go back to 2002.)

I assume that we are NOT counting Wallace as a walkon

Um, no.

Because his highlights would require more than one reel…

Correct -

otherwise there woud beno discussion.

Dean Berry had some skillz

and some highlights from back in late 90s dark era.

Kenny Izzo dunking on uconn

Gets my vote.

Caprio to Bowen for the alley-oop. ESPN interns frantically googling...

Figures that they guys who get .2 minutes per game can do that and the starters can’t.

Expected

longer afterglow.

Or a fresh one

After that alley-oop

Oh, I'm still glowing.

Don’t you worry.

Bowen more effective this game than Whit

officially no longer remember the first half

between the lubick T and that alley-oop
what a great way to start the weekend

That was awesome.. Great way to start the day..Fuk Orange Juice

This

not if it had vodka in it

Can't wait

To see the old ladies at HoyaTalk find the dark clouds in this win. Something about sportsmanship or Lubick increasing our insurance deductible by hanging on the rim.

I hope they go chasing these dark clouds. And get struck by lightning in the process.

The obvious complaint

would be unable to put together a whole 40 mins on both sides of the floor. But defense was solid for the whole game, so we seem to be trending in the right direction.

Here's a guess

1. More early foul trouble for Markel
2. Stagnant offense in the first half when Markel wasn’t in
3. Whitt with 3 first half fouls
4. Guessing the rebounding numbers were average on both ends of the court, though could be wrong on this
