Okay so I'm old. Show a little respect. BTW, in Moneyball I'm an older Brad Pitt.

I've been to 5 hoya home games this season. In order to appreciate how much better defensively the hoyas are when starks is on the bench you have to see them in person. Don't give me stats and numbers. By replacing starks with Otto you have created a defensive monster. Clarke at 6'2" is the baby (and yet he has a huge wingspan). Then you get 6'7, 6'8, 6'9, and 6'10 coming at you. And these aren't big, just big slobs. They are so big, fast, physical, and intimidating that teams are now crumbling in front of them. Villanova and ND weren't just beaten they were crushed. Are you kidding me, 41 points? Sure starks will play (someone has to spell these guys) but defense will carry the hoyas and when you need your best defensive team on the court starks won't be on it. In Moneyball, were you the cranky scout that got fired, the one who asked about Fabio, or Raylan Givens' boss? Are you calling someone else cranky?

I rewatched the game last night and it was just as pretty defensively the second time around. I couldn't be happier or more proud of Henry and Jason. That was some showing by both of them on the perfect night for such a performance. Jason's D was unreal. A couple of Henry's passes (for the Whit dunk especially) made me jump out of my seat. Well done Hoyas!

Well done Hoyas! Was Cooley completely ineffective, and just as ugly as Harangody, the second time around?

Boz, Cooley is uglier than Harangody on replay. Shocking.

I just want to know why all ND big men go to the same lawnmower for their haircuts...

No, and that wasn't my point. Nor do I think it appeared to be. My point was that a solid game from top to bottom couldn't have come at a better time. I'm not going any further along this path. nuff said
