With regard to defensive rebounding, as the year has progressed, we have rebounded better. In the last seven games (5-2), we have grabbed 80+ percent of the defensive caroms in five of those contests. Let's hope for a strong effort on the defensive glass tomorrow. From your mouth to God's ears. And let's get Sanogo and Delgado in foul trouble. I'm looking at you LJ. Just for the love of God don't charge. Of course, a big reason for our success on the defensive boards recently is that the teams we've been playing are bad at offensive rebounding. Xavier, who grabbed 35.5% of their misses against us, is the only team we've played in the last seven games that's in the top 50 nationally in offensive rebounding percentage. DePaul, who grabbed 1/3 of their misses against us, is the next best offensive rebounding team we've played in the last 7 games, and they're ranked 125th (I'm willing to give the Hoyas a bit of a pass there, however, on the "their misses were so bad it was hard to rebound" theory). The other five teams are all outside the top 200 nationally in offensive rebounding percentage. The bad news is that Seton Hall is 23rd nationally in offensive rebounding percentage. The good news is that a large chunk of that is Delgado and Sanogo, so if the Hoyas can get them in foul trouble, that'll go a long way towards making it easier to get the rebound. Of course, Delgado only averages 3.1 fouls per 40 min played and Sanogo averages 4.0 fouls per 40, so neither are particularly foul prone.

The biggest reason for our recent success on the defensive boards has been our improved point guard play. hm

That is a big issue...Hoyas could use him and his five fouls tomorrow...

I noticed Mourning in a suit for the Depaul game. Has there been any announcement on an injury? I remain confident that at some point Trey will be provided an opportunity to prove himself on the court. I have been impressed by what little I have seen over the last three years.

This is a monumental game for us. We win and we're 5 and 6, right in the thick of the BE competition. Lose and we're 4 and 7 going in to Nova where if we lose we're 4 and 8. The implications for this game, can't be overstressed. This is a must win for us. Go Hoyas and get this one!

Let's hope Coach challenges them to play loose and with an attitude as I still contend they have more talent than many teams but don't put it together which is what makes watching them all the more frustrating. Nothing to lose but no margin for error at this point.

Time to make a statement and put the BE on notice. Chris Wright and Austin Freeman reeled off like 8 straight in conference not so long ago .... no reason this team can't do the same.

Too many turnovers that directly led to breakaway layups against DePaul.
Definitely can't do that today.

It's all about the paint. We can let them rent it for a few minutes but they cannot own the paint.
