He'd help, but not much. Not buying the Paul White as difference maker line. This team is poorly constructed even with all its parts intact. I really believe he would help this offense a good bit. But his lack of lateral quickness makes me think he'd have the same defensive fouling issues with the new rules as many of the others do. I'm not bagging on Paul and while he would certainly help I think we would not be drastically different. We simply don't execute the game the way it should be done in this offense. If you don't have a guy that has the confidence to drain ft line jumpers and shoot over the defense from there I'm not sure why you run this offense. That is the problem. I think I could count on 2 hands the numbers of times we've made that shot. So other teams don't even defend it at this point. They're doubling people way from the ball when our guys catch it there. It's crazy.

I'm afraid that something else is going on. We just don't know what it is, and we may never. However, I can't remember watching a GU team that seemed so disinterested in the game for extended periods of time. Definitely lacking a sense of urgency it seems. Down 10 with a little over a min left and we come down and run one of the many slow developing sets we've seen this year. Which is what we ALWAYS do down by a lot. Govan screen pass to DSR pass to Ike pass to Marcus all across the key till there's 5 on the shot clock. Infuriating. It's like we running plays specifically to run clock. It is the most asinine thing to watch game after game. When was the last time this team ran a back screen alley oop? We run that Princeton set with two guys off the screen and it looks like half the time they don't have any idea which way their teammates are gonna go and they end up running into each other. Embarrassing. And the handoff plays? Please just stop that one too. Haven't gotten open looks on that all year. Why don't we ever try anything else.

Next question: is there anyone left on this board that doesn't think this team universally sucks? Anyone out there that still sees some positives? Anyone that can give me a reason to hope that if I go to the Villanova game I won't be walking out of there enduring those awful sympathetic glances from the god awful nova fans thinking geez sorry your team has gotten so bad. If I do go, I'll be the one with the paper bag on his head. Don't go to that game. It's probably their senior day, too, right? They will be in the running for a 1 seed. That could be really ugly. I'm coming to that realization. It's really heartbreaking for me since I never miss that game and these are the best seats I've ever had. Figures.

I agree they have just been toying with us all year. There going to turn it on at MSG and run the table. Ya ok.... You gotta beleive. I'm in Vegas that weekend so I'm hoping for the run. Anyone want me to put action on the Hoyas? Already made that mistake at the beginning of the season.

I haven't watched much of our last few games. (Honestly, I'd rather stay at work than watch this worse-than-mediocre, brick-laying, foul-machine team.) But serious question for people who have been watching closely all year: Are we actually worse now than we were at the start of the season? This unfortunately is a fair question... Hard to say remember this team lost to RADFORD to start the season. The answer is they've been bad all season. Questions have to be asked.

As bad as Gtown played they still only loss by 8pts. I'm sorry but what is your point. SHU played awful and won by 8.

We should change our name to the Washington generals. 56 pts at home against SHU. Yes losing to St. John's would be bad but we are going to lose to a team that made 6 field goals in a half and we never really challenged. Fans who went should get their money back b

Man, if we could shoot... We still wouldn't be able to pass or dribble but you're right 1 out of 3 would be better.

Will DSR make the All-Big East Third Team this season, or just honorable mention? I wouldn't vote for him and I'm a homer

Our offense is designed around the late shot clock heave it seems.

OMG. LOOK at the crowd (not even sure it qualifies as a crowd). This program is in very very bad shape. If they booed I'm not sure you would hear them.

We could use some Ike being Ike. Chucking up bricks from 3? Sorry couldn't resist.

Thinking about leaving the game, going home, and lighting my garbage cans on fire. Knock back a couple of beers, and that will certainly be more entertaining than watching this mess. I'm not a booer but I would be booing the #*^+ out of this team if I were there. We literally look like we have never played the game before. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We should file a discrimination lawsuit against the referees. The double standard is infuriating to watch game in game out. Granted we also suck but when every call also goes against you, it's a stacked deck. Law of averages should see us pull some of these games but the refs are making sure that doesn't happen. If I were jt3 I'd be throwing chairs after those calls.
