We destroyed them on the boards....43-18!? Ridiculous
Otto with 15, is that his career high?

Don' know what is going on with the FT shooting, but it needs to change immediately. This is several games in a row where we have been really bad.
How can a guy who shoots greater than 50% from three be so bad. It seems like Hollis is rushing his shots/not concentrating.

As has been stated several times, physical teams have given the Hoyas fits in the past couple of years. I expect another ugly game on Monday with Cinci bu hopefully they learned their lesson today and can step up their play against these types of teams. We need to find a player who can play physical like so many big east teams have. I realize we are short handed this year with injury/illness but I feel like we don't actively recruit an athletic physical big as much as other teams do.

The two biggest plays in the game so far came with the Hoyas down 6:
With about 7 minutes left we had the ball and Hollis took a quick ill advised LONG two that was contested.
Then Jason tries to force up a shot in traffic followed by a Jabril foul and we are back down 8.
Those were two huge posesions that resulted in forced shots and hurt our chances of building momentum.

The difference in this game is that we are 1-11 from three and they are 4-12. Our shooting from the perimeter is just atrocious this game, with several that should never have been taken.

This team is constantly bad at coming to the ball when it is passed to them, particularly Sims. You can't wait for the ball to get to you, it needs to be met.

The physical play is starting to bother Sims. After that airball he stayed on the offensive end and argued with the refs as WV pushed the ball up the court. This team needs to start playing smarter right now.

This game feels like it is being played in slow motion. Especially after the game we witnessed earlier this week.

So far we are beating oursleves by not valuing the ball. Also, it feels like hollis has been of the court for a while. Where is he?

It feels like we got out to an early lead and then most of the players started coasting/playing lazy. Providence has played hard to get back in it and seems a lot more pumped. Since we started coasting the team is having trouble getting back into the game.

This team looks like it is sleepwalking on the offensive end. Would have liked to see them come out with a little more fire. The defense has looked pretty good.
Since when does Jason think he is going to get calls as if he is Kobe? That was a lazy play.

This is a very interesting way of looking at sports, and also the way fans view sports vs the way the actual players do.
Remember, we were all excited with the way the team played in Maui, however, someone on the team said they were disappointed because they went their to WIN. I believe it was Jabril.
I guarantee you that if you ask the team what they would be happy with at the end of the year they would answer without hesitation a national championship. Why as fans do we have to temper expectations? Isn't the whole point of grinding out the season to win the NC?

Does anyone know what the deal is with students attending this game? I was just able to buy 5 tickets a few rows behind the basket in section 117, which I think is the main student section. Were Memphis tickets even included in the student season ticket package? I am expecting few, if any, students to be present at this game. It is a shame we may not have the proper atmosphere for the one marquee OOC game. This years schedule really did not shake out in our favor.

Jason was out of control on that last dribble. Gotta keep up the D and play our game on O.

Sounds like they came out much better in the second half. Was there more energy or did shots just start falling?
