Andy Katz's Weekly Watch (on Roy)

[RockawayHoya]

Listed under "Five You Should Know:"

Roy Hibbert, Georgetown: The Hoyas' big man had maybe his best game of the season with an 18-point, 8-of-9 shooting game in a rout of Notre Dame. If Hibbert can be this much of a lock in the post to go with the continued development of the guards, the Hoyas may just sneak back into the Final Four picture.

I love the comment about sneaking back into the final four picture when we are a whopping 1 game into the big east. 24 hour news is killing me and yet I can't look away.

Andy really crawled far out onto a limb in predicting we'd be in the Final Four picture if Roy continues to shoot 88% from the field. Master of the obvious...

So far, nearly every article about the Hoyas has been virtually the same:

Summer: talk about our coach, the son of the legendary JT2
Pre-season: talk about our great front court and our coach, the son of the legendary JT2 but also successfully carving out his own identity
November: blame guards for not adequately supporting a stellar front court
December: tell us how guard play is starting to improve but people are still adjusting to their new roles, especially our resurgent front court
January: talk with guarded optimism about how we are starting to "justify some of the pre-season hype" (i.e. attempts by commentators to put something in print early that they can point to later in the season that proves their expert "insight/analysis")

I would add:

November - Jeff and Roy need to play like leaders.

[hoyaeighties]

Roy has to get the ball from the guards to play like a leader...Jeff, I don't have a clue just as he is...

Edstimes is to Esh as Hoyaeighties is to guardplay/Roy's effectiveness. Count it.
