The best lineup for Hoyas in my opinion ALWAYS includes Summers and Freeman--having them on court--really forces defenses to respect the offensive game of both--or they get wide open looks--it spaces court--and allows Roy to get easier touches. You can put Wallace, Wright, Rivers, Sapp, Ewing, doesn't matter--as long as you have Summers and Freeman on court--it's the best offensive lineup--and in my opinion the BEST LINEUP--they bring toughness/get rebounds and are able to play bigger then they are but still be versatile on offense/play outside or go down low.

WE ARE NOT PLAYING BADLY.
besides a few ill-advised shots, i thought we were actually playing really well. the assists are there. two plays that killed us in the first half: 1) rivers' ridiculous off-balance jump-shot that had no chance of making it - instead of putting us up 10, it keyed a huge memphis run that got them back into the game. 2) WRIGHT NEEDS TO BUY INTO THE PRINCETON OFFENSE. i know he's a freshman. i'll say it again and again. but i swear to god, there was a play towards the end of the half where he decided to, AGAIN, drive into double or triple coverage, NOT PASSING, and making a stupid shot that obviously turned into a turnover. TEAM. TEAM. TEAM.
LET'S GO HOYAS. SECOND HALF.

Yea, we had a few opportunities to go up big - the one that comes to mind is Rivers missing two hideous jumpers when we were up 8

They had a lot more discipline than us. We looked awful in our decision-making. Too many stupid shots, too many bad defensive choices. Are you watching the same game? With the exception of the last 4 minutes, we were CLEARLY the more-disciplined team. They picked up dumb fould early, had HORRIBLE shot selection, & got at least 3 shots off of Offensive rebounds. Did we lapse in discipline? ABSOLUTELY. Jeremiah, Jessie, and Chris each took ill-advised shots, and Jon picked up 2 lazy fouls. Still, for much of the half, we looked much "cleaner" than they did on offense. I have not seen stats, but we may have had assistas on over 10 of our FG's. I have to agree--other than a lapse for the last 3-4 minutes of the first half (which was ugly on our part) we have looked much better. They are a good team and have been able to stay within striking distance, and we gave them that opportunity to get back in at the end of the half. As long as we avoid the same problem in the 2nd half along with better rebounding and making at least a few FT, I think we should be fine.

We need REBOUNDING! We got 8 defensive rebounds, they got 6 OFFENSIVE. They are killin us there.
We are 70% from the line, except for Macklin, 0-4. Awful

We had a real ugly spell there. Should be up by about 5, really. The pessimist would say that we should be up at this point, which does not bode well for the second half. I am more optimistic - play like they did in the 1st half of the the 1st half and the game is ours. Need to rein it in a bit and work for good shots. Memphis hit some big threes towards the end. If they continue that, they are tough to beat. I don't think they will continue that.

Looks like coach told them to go into Roy more. Unfortunately he missed the first pass and got double teamed on his second, doesn't make the guards comfortable. Lets go Roy! Get going!
Need better rebounding all around.
Also, reason why Rivers has been in a lot is for his D.

Bilas is great, and he's right: the refs have lost control. That does not help you on the road at all.

Jessie is one of my favorites-but he's got to DRAW and KICK on drive once in a while and quit being so predictable by shooting.

sapp needs to sit. he is dominating the ball in the halfcourt offense and is taking horrible shots.

Chris Wright is a great talent, and he is amazingly quick...but he does nothing in the flow of this offense and is a liability when we are trying to get things done atthe offensive end right now.

this is turning into a disaster. i do not understand why wallace sits while sapp continues to play horribly.

This is getting away from us. Roy needs to make an impact - he's a senior now, and it's no longer acceptable for him to be a total no-show.

No ball movement--if you aren't going to move the ball--you give up easy hoops.
Roy has to be tougher--and if he's not going to find a way to make some plays on his own once in a while--especially in a game like this--it makes it tougher to win.

Let's face it---Memphis is taking the ball and shots like MEN! They are STRONG with the Ball. We NEED to BANG WITH THEM and TAKE IT HARD TO THE HOOP AS WELL--- FINISH LIKE MEN WITH AUTHORITY!!
