Feel better now? We all see his weaknesses, but he’s a Hoya. You aren’t some kind of specially insightful genius for dissing kids who underperform for our team, you’re just a weak hearted wanna he fan. "wanna be fan" what are you 5? I root for every player that is a Hoya uniform that wants to get their full effort...he gives none on the defensive end most times...root for that all you want Yeah, your effort at home on the sofa far exceeds his. And Coach clearly plays the slackers. So yeah, bash away - your version of support- “can’t wait till he’s gone” - is what makes this board so fun.

Hoyas have had a few good defensive possessions this 2nd half with really good communication and very good switches and coverage. They are finally working like a team.

…and so true supporters of the team stay away nowadays. Who are these “true supporters of the team” staying away nowadays because some posters are desperate for success? We are the only sickos still around. Everyone else is waiting patiently doing anything other than watching GU basketball until Cooley patiently brings the program back to the top. Every alum I talk to (not on HT) was pumped at the beginning of the season, but now are back to same old, same old… I cannot blame them. People who don’t bash our players over and over and over and over.

Looking at the boxscore and Styles line is similar to others, with not much showing, but does have 3 turnovers which is unusual. I'm beginning to think he is in some new different witness protection program where he is out there, but not seen. Two of those turnovers were bad luck on hustle plays. One was the result of frustration after the 1st two. I think 3 turnovers over-states what effectively happened. Typed as I watch him try to turn it over again. If there is such a thing as a good turnover hustle created turnovers, trying to save a play, are those. Styles most often and Bristol nearly always hustle even if other parts of their game aren't going or are severe struggles. Was just poiinting out Styles haivng 3 TO in a half is very rare. If it was Epps, that has been common (he has been improving with turnovers).

Nelson getting 3 fouls in a few minutes should lock this one up for us.

Great offensive board by Styles and kick to Rowan for a 3. Again, an assist to an open 3.

Here is facts...he is down across the board in every single offensive category in a year they could sorely use him...his minutes clearly have not been dictated by his play, if you haven't noticed we have essentially zero depth...I saw him plenty at BC being from the area and was excited when he decided to come here...and have seen him regress as a player year after year...is it very disappointing There said politely so you don't get your panties in a bunch...

Heath seems to be the last player to get into switches. Every players is having to bark at him to switch late. He'll get there, I hope. When Ish is one of the players barking to switch and to whom to cover it is a sign.

Rowan keeping a hand on the ball to force the Etienne travel call, really nice.

Epps to lockeroom after poke on the eye May be a blessing in disguise. We’ve gone on a run since he went out.

Fielder helping on Heath's lost man left Etienne wide open. Heath has really got to get on the page on of the defensive scheme. Heath partially recovered, but only with Fielder helping.
He'll get there.

Heath has 3 fouls, so may get Bristol who is a good defender, that may help things.

Rowan was all over Carter and still made the bucket. Nice shot.

I wonder if the DePaul board says similar things to us “best chance at conference win…. When playing us
I agree these teams are evenly matched.
Really want a W today.
Ish with the Looooong 3 (terrible shot). Then goes to middle of zone and buries it….make it simple guys

Here is a fact for you - because of the depth issue, he has played hurt all season. Takes effort That's fair (if he is still injured) and actually he has made 2 good passes for open 3's this half...I will however not back down on the defensive side...maybe effort is unfair to say...but he clearly doesn't get the scheme, consistently has guys having to leave their man to compensate for him and that's alarming 14 games in with a guy that has played as much basketball as he has...
