Agreed - recall what happened after the 2006 Duke game and the Colin Flops play/Bad Brandon foul. USF has some talent, including Jarrid Famous, who we recruited briefly.

USF always gives the Hoyas some problems--and especially in DC---and watching them play--they've got talent---Jarrid Famous is going to be a tough matchup for the frontline and Dominique Jones can play.

Duke win needs to be used as fuel to push forward--and that's all as Big East Play is UNREAL as usual. Just ask Uconn who blew the doors off Texas and then went 0-2 in conference play this week.

[JohnnyJones]

USF was just up 11 on Pitt 12 minutes in, although Pitt just went on a 5-0 run to cut the lead to 6. Regardless of the outcome, USF is playing pretty well of late and we need a strong game Wednesday. No let down.

USF v. Pitt is on MASN right now FYI.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

Meh this is a game we should win. It's a trap game we could lose if we don't show up. They're pretty similar to Seton Hall in my view one good guard in this case Jones and one good post in this case Famous. Without Gilchrist aka a second legit post threat this team doesn't worry me. We've done a good job at taking away teams best scoring options. Kenpom gives us a 91% chance of winning this game, and i think his system currently has us underrated. They don't shoot the 3 well they give up a lot of offensive boards and they don't force turnovers. No one should be worried bout this game except for the team. Like coach said we can beat anyone in the country, but we could lose to anyone on our schedule. Not likely, but if we don't play well anything can happen. We come to play we win, simple as that.

war coming no trap usf handled pitt 70-61 freaking dominic jones 47 POINTS yup WAR NO TRAP WISH IT WERE JUST A TRAP BIG EAST in feburary our house BE READY HOYAS BE READY THANKS USF BEAT USF ON WED studs PLEASE FILL THE BOOTH THIS IS REALLY REALLY BIG YUP REALLY NO KIDDING

[EasyEd]

USF has won three BE games in a row, Providence, Seton Hall and Pitt (not necessarily in that order). Do not overlook this team.

[SFHoya99]

Dominique Jones is twice the player Jeremy Hazell is.

[lurkerhoya]

I'd be more worried if this game was at USF. As it is, we've stepped it in the typical trap games so far against SHU and Rutgers, so I'm not worried about this team losing focus against inferior opponents.

[TrueHoyaBlue]

I don't think the team is likely to fall into complacency for this game, and if there was any chance of it, I think it's probably gone after USF just won their third in a row.

We are likely to get killed on the boards in this one, but if we can quiet Jones, we should be in great shape. I think that with a few exceptions (e.g., Syracuse) this season, the coaches and the team have done a great job of gameplanning for defense that works against opposing team's stars.

[jerseyhoya34]

IIRC from 2006, the Duke win just led to an attendance explosion. USF was not well-attended, since most probably figured "I'll pick a game this week to attend, and it ain't USF." First home game after Duke drew a respectable 12K considering what attendance had been.

Note also that yesterday's game outdrew the 2006 game by 4 people.

[GUJook97]

I am not sure we've ever even scored more than 65 points against USF. Even in that blowout last year, it was still an ugly fest. The only thing I am worried about is the anxiety after things dont easy early, and we get out of our game. III will school them on that. I fully expect this to be one of those 65-55 games that is 30-25 at half time. USF is just one of those teams that can ugly up a game and hang around against us.

[lichoya68]

any body seen their roster?? i think i remember seeing it preseason..and i thought they had alot of bigs not just mr. famous guy comments ?
