Can we leave this discussion in the St. John's thread or even in Jabril's thread. We need everyone to step it up against Seton Hall and regain confidence. I don't mind over confident players but they need to play smart as well. Bowen's confidence is growing (btw how is Bowen over confident? At this point I wish he forced more, he disappeared in the 2nd half Sunday) and we need his scoring and defense. It seems like St. John's plan was to try to slow down our back court and let our front court beat them, which they couldn't do. Seton Hall doesn't have the same type of athletes down low so hopefully Lubick, Hopkins, and Moses will be able to operate better without forcing it. SH rebounded better then they usually do against us last game so we need to work to keep them off the boards. The key for this will be our defense, they are shooting .444 fg% for the year, we need to hold them below their average. We thought the discussion was about the game, just added brief comments about players. The game is Thursday not tonight. Agreed. My bad. Still furious about SJU game I don't even know what day it is. Bowen's confidence I was referring to the turn around taunt after he hit the 3 in front of SJU's bench. I like his confidence to take that shot, I don't like his cockiness to taunt after. I know this should stay within the SJU thread, but I think those shenangians plus Hopper's poor performance will have some effect on JT3's decisions in the SH game when it comes to starters and playing time. Part of me thinks Bowen gets punished in some way for that BS. And another part of me thinks we would be better off with less Hopper or at least not put as much pressure on him to be the 3rd scoring option cause he just can't get it done in the paint.

Yeah my comments were about what the players need to do against Seton Hall, I was just requesting we leave the Jabril foul discussion elsewhere. Most everyone has acknowledged that he has been better at staying under control since his injury, the T was the result of being attacked while on the ground. Where did I say the game was tonight? Thanks for your valuable input to this board as usual...

Very cool, hopefully people will take advantage of the cheap seat upgrades and we can fill the lower bowl.

Well I can't speak for the other 50 or 60 of us who have upper deck season tickets but I can say that the upgrade on game-day for a "small upgrade fee" idea is pretty ridiculous. I'm paying $20/seat/game and upgrades are typically $12 - $20 or more. If I wanted to pay a 60 - 100% premium for my tickets I would just upgrade the whole season ticket package. Why do I need an app for that? Personally I think the ticket office should be doing more to promote the upper level seats. Attract more average fans to grow the season ticket base instead of trying to squeeze the ones they've already got.

Attract more average fans to grow the season ticket base instead of trying to squeeze the ones they've already got. I agree with your second part entirely. This new app (or whatever it is) is being done by Verizon center, not by the ticket office. I was hoping that they would give a steeper discount for people using this app to upgrade, additionally since it would be a game by game basis, some games could be worth it. Might as well check it out Saturday and see how easy it is, where the new seats are, the price. The writer was speculating about the features so I'll be interested to hear what it actually entails.

Must win v. SHU. I want to punk those clowns for how they behaved in DC. Hoyas need to pound the boards, limits TOs, make good decisions re: tempo (push at times and hold the ball at times), and just play tougher than the Hall.

Aaron Bowen did not hit a 3 on Sunday night... I saw him hit a fade away mid-range jumper, maybe that is the shot that you are referring to?? I missed the taunt aspect though.

Maybe it wasn't a 3 but it happened when the score was SJU up 31-18 at 7:32. Don't think anyone on SJU had talked noticeable trash at this point. I'm over it though we don't need to belabor the point.

If you see an open seat in the lower sections mid-game I say go for it. You don't need an app for that.

Gotta get back on the horse. This game will be a good barometer of the rest of the season. The Hoyas should be motivated and are as close to full strength as they will be for the rest of the year. If we can't do this, we are going nowhere. GO HOYAS!!! Beat the Pirates.
P.S. Do you know a Pirate's favorite letter is? ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Woefully quiet here for a critical gameday. Hope it livens up after people stop working for the day and get their priorities straight!

Are there any online options for this game since it is CBS Sports Network? I'll 2nd this question since FIOS in Northern Virginia only has CBS Sports Network as part of a premium sports package. The last time we had a game on this lame network the online sources were terrible and I ended up listening to Rich on the radio. Anyone know of a reliable online source that isn't likely to freeze every 30 seconds? Thanks.

$120/year to watch two games? That's almost half of what my season ticket costs.
But wait! I would also get beIN SPORT HD, ESPN Buzzer Beater/Goal Line HD, ESPN Classic, HRTV, Longhorn Network, Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, TVG and World Fishing Network.
How could I turn down this incredible deal?
No, I'll be trolling the web tonight with Rich as my backup.
