gotta agree with filo. Singler's hardly unathletic. That dude's a pro, sooner rather than later

According to kenpom.com, Duke is 13th in the nation in rebounding, gathering 40.7% of their own misses. For comparison, Pitt is at 44.2% and the D-I average is 33.3%. WV is 5th at 43.9%, so we better hit the glass or take care of the ball better, especially considering they force a lot of turnovers. Also of note, WV is a terrible team from the line - 65%. so are we in the last few...

Singler is really good.
I watched WVU in their loss to Davidson; they played catch with the backboard on their offensive end, they seem to have good rebounding, they look like a very athletic team. This is Huggins' team now not Beilein'; which means the type of ball reminiscent of JT II's teams more than anything else - aggressive defense, good rebounding, some eye-covering offensive sequences, and weak free throw shooting. But don't sleep on them, they will come back quickly and blow you out quickly.
I didn't see what happened at Marquette; up until that game I thought this one was going to be very tough. W VA beat Ohio St and Seton Hall on the road, they have played a schedule rated #21 in the country, this one could be a war.

We (WVU) are playing decently right now, but the loss of point guard Joe Mazulla is hurting the team badly. WVU has only one healthy point guard, Truck Bryant, and he is a freshman. He'll be good eventually but right now he is still too out of control and has trouble with Big East pressure defense.
I predict that WVU will hang in there with Georgetown for a while, but ultimately will be too inconsistent on the offensive end to win. Gtown pulls away in the 2nd half and wins by 10.

I think we come out angry for this one. I'm glad I didn't have to go to practice with JTIII this week. That said, going 9 minutes without a bucket will sink our chances, just like Saturday. Avoid long cold spells, and we win by double digits.

Two pieces of bad news for those of us who have to watch this on ESPN:
1) No HD, apparently.
2) Mike Patrick on the play-by-play.
Double ugh.

Seem to still have some racist tendencies. They probably were turned away by our security guards. Either that or they went to GW thinking it was GU.

I bet the author's just really ticked about not being able to find that kegger on J Street that all the hot Hoya coeds kept inviting him to.

I don't work for ESPN or anything, but I'm pretty sure that what these pages are trying to tell us is that the game will be shown on the channel ESPNHD (724 on Comcast Bay Area) but will not be in high definition. So, prepare yourselves for some black bars on the screen.

Who drives through Georgetown campus? Yes, we never drove through campus in my days. I haven't been on campus in about 7-8 years, so I don't know what it looks like now (except for pictures).
