Washington Times Hope on the HilltopBy Barker Davis www.washingtontimes.com/sports/20050128-122524-3921r.htm"I hate to say the buzz is irrelevant, but this is about us," said Thompson, whose surging Hoyas face No. 8 Boston College (17-0, 6-0) tomorrow night in Chestnut Hill. "I don't think it's good to look at the big picture. As we win games, sure, the perception of us changes. Winning is a good thing. But buzz or no buzz, we have to be better this week than we were last week. And it's still far too early to start assessing this season." " The old offense was based on individual dribble-drive skills, traditional low-post entries and tenacity on the offensive glass — the college hoops version of dump-and-chase hockey. The new offense is based on constant motion, a high-post entry, a relentless series of cuts and patience — think Brazilian soccer. "Coach is always keeping us focused on the next game, but making the [NCAA] tournament is something that is on my mind every day," Bowman said. "There's a thin line between passion and obsession, and I guess I'm closer to obsessed about it now. I've watched all my friends from home who play Division I ball make the tournament. When they're playing in the tournament and you're sitting at home year after year, you get hungry ... real hungry. And that part of it, the hunger, Coach doesn't mind." BB, we're hungry too. Please keep up the fight!

Gotta love that quote by Bo Bo. Man, I hope we fight hard and pull off the huge upset @ BC!
I know, it's still early... and we must understand that this team is young and bound to hiccup at some point, but with tempered optimism, I can't help but feel we're witnessing something special in the works.
LET'S GO HOYAS!!! TAKE DOWN BC!

. "It was so bad it's hard to put into words," said junior forward Brandon Bowman, the Hoyas' leading scorer this season (15.2 points). "Teams looked at us like we were a joke. We walked around campus with our heads down. The whole year was humiliating." Wow. I knew it was rough last year, but I never thought it had gotten that bad for Esherick. This team had no confidence in the staff at all. That's really sad. On the positve side, however the teams morale was so low that they were willing to embrace JT3's system wholeheartedly. This ,I think, has allowed them to be ahead of the curve in their improvement. When you feel you are at rock bottom there is no where to look but up.

It's tough not to get totally pumped after reading the Post and Times pieces. It's so great to have that feeling again. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get it back. Well, it's back and we're back!

For me, Brandon's comments put the nail in the coffin of the esherick debate. He was a nice guy, but he was running the program into the ground. "Heads down" around campus? Other teams laughing at the "joke" that the Hoyas were last year? It almost make me mad to see how poorly the players felt while Esherick was dropping idiotic lines about how he would never be fired.

Because karma doesn't like people or schools that grab the money and run, especially if they're betraying their fellow jesuit institutions??

Hoyas Facing Big Test at BCBy Barker Davis www.washingtontimes.com/sports/20050129-120626-6843r.htm"It's a major opportunity for us because if you beat an undefeated team at their place, that will show people something. The buzz that's started will really get loud then. I just can't wait because this game is a measuring stick to see just how far back Georgetown basketball has come." Once again, great job, Barker. His article is much better than the one in the WaPo, which has a certain pro-ACC bias.
