[dukeboy911]

lol at that little piece of shit stealing the ball with 4 seconds left

 

[dukeboy911]

fuck Georgetown and this bitch ass crowd

 

[Slap the Floor]

This game leaves me feeling really good.

 

[Slap the Floor]

The development of Moore is huge, despite the 7 turnovers.

 

[aiw]

Baker saved us

Is every game going to be this exasperating?

 

[ZackM]

Just got home. I see we won. Must have been fun to watch!

 

[DrKlahn]

The level of play was pretty good until the whistles made it unwatchable

 

[aiw]

10-0 runs at the end suck

 

[aiw]

Wasn't even against the shitheads

 

[DrKlahn]

If you could do an edit of the game that cut out all of Javin’s parts, it was a good game

 

[aiw]

I'm not sure what the first part of the sentence means.

The freshmen trio of Carey, Moore and Stanley were responsible for a little over 71% of the team's points and 55% of the team's rebounds tonight.

6th most minutes tonight were 13, 8th were 5. That was quick.

So annoying to play the kind of intense defense we do and push the pace, but not rotate guys in a little more. It's not surprising that we look drained by the end of a game like that.

The problem was AOC and Hurt were so shitty

I gotta admit, I feel a little alienated by those of you complaining about the team or the coaching at this point. It feels misplaced.

 

[Inveigle]

Moore was the difference tonight with his verve

It's been fun, though tonight was really frustrating at times. I have had very little issue with the coaching too.

I think I'm a bit guarded, mainly because I'm foreseeing a post in February, when the teams around us have improved more significantly than we have from now to then, to the effect of, "Why can't we just get back to doing what we were doing in November?"

 

[rome8180]

Yeah, I fully anticipate the rotation to shorten and that to have a negative impact on our defense. People will also game plan for our lack of shooting better. (Granted, the shooting has been better than I expected.)

It just feels a little like willful posturing to be negative at this point though. The coaching this year has been much better than last year. And the ceiling is probably lower, so any game we win vs. a respectable opponent is nice.

 

[rome8180]

It also feels like there is room for internal improvement. We'll see if it happens, but hopefully not being able to lean so heavily on one guy helps in that regard. Moore can cut down on his turnovers. AOC can make a shot. Hurt can do literally anything.
