Watching Heath is really painful. He is decent, but tries too hard to do things he can't do.

Hoyas struggling with Heath in, need to get him out.

The movement on offense on the made 3 possession was so poor.

Heath is an awful defender, but the whole team is complicit in just giving up repeated layups. I am really having a hard time figuring out how our interior defense is this bad. Painful to watch.

Cannot wait for Heath to be gone... Cannot wait for “fans” to stop beating up in our own players.

This is not good lineup - Epps Heath Bristol Fielder Cook. Don’t like that combo of players for either end of the floor.

Assist to 3 again. Great pattern for the Hoyas to keep doing.

Your right my bad...keep working Heath...17 years in college still hasn't figured out how to play defense, work in the flow of the offense, get teammates involved...but he will get there...rooting for you buddy.... participation trophies!

Ish plays inside defense like he has never done it before. He has a lot of gaps in his understanding of the game. Off ball offensive spacing and movement, defensive spacing / positioning, switches, and helping where he isn't needed which leaves his man / cover wide open.

Ish does shoot well, often rebounds well, and helps with blocks inside and out.

DePaul is getting plenty of open 3s. Our defense is collapsing with the first driver. Maybe guarding the paint instead of the 3 is the strategy today.

Both comments on Cook and Massoud are spot on. I’d add none of the guards have any skill at helping inside. Cook’s positioning is the primary culprit for the rebounding issues, but a lot of it is just not getting a body on people.
Crowd is okay for what this is but the arena misses the student energy.

I’ll just say whether it’s injury or not Heath has regressed considerably from someone who was a capable scorer at multiple P5 schools.

Ish defensive lapse and giving his man a wide open bucket at the basket.

Guard play is horrible... Can't dribble, can't shoot, can't pass, can't penetrate... Can't run the offense...

Ish defensive lapse and giving his man a wide open bucket at the basket. Prior to that mental lapse, the defense looked really good that possession.

Nice D, shot clock violation.
Good swtiching. Ish paid attention and picked up the big Rowan got switched onto and then stayed on that man and didn't abandon him. It took Rowan barking, but it happened. That is a good sign.

Another good defensive possession.
