The bar for me today is extremely low. Just don't repeat Marquette where you weren't in it from nearly the jump and it was a 20+ laugher throughout.
Show some resiliency and toughness. Make Uconn work beyond it being a glorified practice. Uconn is a little banged up - let's at least make them sweat for a decent portion of the game. Progress.

I think we have a shot if no Clingan.
Two of their starters are slow and unathletic. Karaban is slow and lacks quick twitch. He’s also very soft. Fielder should be able to run circles around Karaban and dominate him.
Can Spencer has a very high IQ and is automatic from 3 but is as slow as molasses. I think Rowan matches up really well with him and can use his in your chest/face defense to stifle Spencer.
Their center Samson Johnson is very long and quick but is a string bean. If Supreme can put a body on him he should be able to anchor him to the floor.
This game is winnable as it’s a good matchup for us if Clingan can’t play.

Is there an injury report? Who’s not playing for UCon?

The funny thing is for all the back and forth we have on here about the Georgetown brand. And relevancy. And becoming DePaul. Etc. Etc.
This is the 2nd time in 3 years I believe that Georgetown will be the Fox National game on the same day that Fox will show an NFL playoff game. As I recall, last time it was the highest watched BE regular season game of the year.
Obviously Uconn is the main draw. But it does show that Georgetown name still has cache in sports media circles.

Terrible offensive sets so far.

Hoyas not getting back on defense well, so far. Rowan is back with 3 UConn players, and rest of Hoyas are jogging.
Hoyas seem to be running at half speed.

Rowan ain't ready for this kind of matchup. Time to get the Bristol and Fielder lineup back on the court from last game

If Rowan & Ish aren't going to hit shots, they shouldn't be getting more than 15m today.
Ray Allen sucks.

Cook is so tough. Only reason we're not down a dozen already.

I perceive our half court defense as much better than earlier in the year.

We desperately need a point guard for next season

Rowan ain't ready for this kind of matchup. Time to get the Bristol and Fielder lineup back on the court from last game With Rowan running point the two options are Cook and Epps, Styles and Ish aren't getting open and mostly are standing. On drive and kick, the only player moving is Epps and over covered with a second defensive shade as well. Cooley has made it clear Epps is the top scorer and should be off ball and create for. Epps can't be the only player moving off ball well. Epps can also run point, but isn't as successful getting buckets when also running point, as will always have heavy coverage.

I perceive our half court defense as much better than earlier in the year. It is. I know the rankings don’t show it but I feel like we are much more competent on D than O at this point.
