i saw they were nearly 0 minutes in the 2nd half. i understand JTIII is trying to win the game, but until jessie gets more minutes and KEEPS shooting he will never get out of his slump.
KEEP SHOOTING JESSIE!

Jessie will contribute. He always does.
He could go 0 for infinity for the rest of the season, yet hit the game winning 3 when it matters. Keep shooting jessie. You are a hoya great.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be the game winning three if he hadn't gone 0 for X before it.

When we're playing a top 15 team just about every game, JTIII doesn't have the luxury of waiting for Jessie to shoot himself out of his slump. It's contribute or sit. We need wins, and we need them now. It would be an easier decision if Clark hadn't come on the last few weeks. But he has, and the extra minutes that Jason has deservedly earned have to come from somewhere, and that's Jessie.

We need guys out there that are going to produce, and if sapp is going to have his head up his ass then best sit him down. I Belive that he was even having trouble handling the ball against dook. Jason clark in the long run is going to be 10 times better than sapp ever was anyways. Should sapp loose his starting position, i dont think yet, cause he can still come out of this. Most important though is who finishes the game and right now im not sure having sapp in is our best option. IDK.. This now is starting to go beyond a slump...

Wonder how Sapp is doing in practice? That probably will have a great influence on how much PT he gets.

This is such a tough one since Jesse has paid his dues and has perfromed so well before and since Jason is clearly a budding future NBA type talent. JT III has to weigh the team dynamics and this is one of those deicsions where I am glad I am not making it.

I can understand Jessie sitting because of how he has struggled recently, though I would love to see him come out of it and step up, but what was up with Wright getting barely any PT in the 2nd half? We played primarily Clark and Wattad in that 2nd half. I know Wright wasn't having his best game, but I still have to think his offensive attributes and ability to handle the pressure defense would have been an attribute out there. Anyone know what was up with Wright sitting?

First Hoya to hopefully go to 4 NCAA Tournaments in how long? Started on the Georgetown teams that won 2 consecutive regular season Big East championships, a BET Title and beat North Carolina to go to the final four. If Clark's gonna be 10x than Sapp ever was, that's a hell of a high bar. |

It was an out of conference game so JT3 was tinkering as always. That is my thought as to why CW did not get the time he deserved, I mean he had 5 assists in the first 8 minutes of the game, he struggled when Monroe went out, but he was not the only one.
By the way, tough to read such harsh posts on Sapp. We can all see he is struggling, but just like we would not win with no depth behind Wright and Sapp, if Sapp does not play now, it puts us in the same lack of depth position.
Sapp has given everything to the team and has made big shot after big shot, it is really crappy to see everyone just abandoning him for the next big thing. Sounds more like a pro sports type of attitude, which sucks. I guess those of us who had sit through the Esherick years have not adopted the win or nothing attitude yet. These guys are all Hoyas, we should want all of them to improve regardless if they are seniors and appreciate what they do or have done for the team.
Hope Clark does not hit a slump next year, the next recruit will surely have to take his place!

Sapp has been given ample opportunity to get out of this slump.....trust me I subscribe to the theory that you stick with a proven player...give them the time to work themselves out and get back to playing good ball. A quick benching is not the right way to go if u can help it. Right now it is a mental thing for Jessie and removing him from the starting lineup before now was going to mess with his head even more. That being said...JTIII has done just that...stuck with the guy. He has been given ample opportunity to fix his issues but has not done so. It would be one thing if he was doing what he had been doing earlier and was a vocal leader and played hard and scrapped but his shot is not falling, but it is now an overall drop in all aspects of the game. Jessie needs a wakeup call now. The next step is for JTIII to shake things up and have him be the first off the bench. At first it will be pretty devastating for any player. Then the realization will come. It will motivate him to shake out the cowbwebs and mentally say F* it I know I can play and work himself back into the starting lineup. It will be interesting to see how it plays out....we need Jessie this season and I have faith he can work it out

can't wait for sapp to hit his signature game clinchers and for the rest of this board to reminded that Jessie is the heart of this team as well as the emotional leader. The less he plays, the more down he will get on himself, the less of a presence he will be on and off the court. Sapp still plays great on ball defense and is essential for breaking down the press. As much as I LOVE Clark i think the holes in his game will be exposed with more playing time.

For older Hoyas, this reminds me of Jonathan Smith's senior year in 75-76. He was a really good guard from DC in JT2's first class, and had a misearable senior year -- possibly due to nagging injuries. Yet he came out of his slump at the end of the year and led GU to the NCAAs for the seond year in a row, back when there were only 32 or so teams and it was much harder to make the tourney. Maybe Jesse is having the same type of experrience and can break out of his funk soon.
In fairness to Jesse, his role on this team differs from the last 2 years. Jesse was the primary ball handler with Wallace playing more of a 2G/shooter role. Jesse has given the ball to Chris as primary ball handler and Jesse is not a pure shooter like JW. Also, if he handles the ball he does not have a dead eye shooter like JW in Chris or Jason to pass to as a backcourt mate.
Unfortunately this seems to be affecting not just the offense but his defense and overall play.
We still have time to work this out, as we have an easier stretch now that the six game gauntlet is over. Hopefully JT3 and the guards can work this out by March.

The worst part of his slump ishis attitude. I do not see him being more aggressive on the defensive end to make up for his lack of offensive production. Secondly, i have been seeing his head down sulking, hes not a frosh he should be more mature. Dont bench him at the start of the game but dontplay him in the end if hes not going to produce. Its not personal its strictly business
