Pretty even keel over there, they are giving us respect and had some real rave reviews on JTIII...

From NYCScooby:
"Now, I've seen the Hoyas a couple of times this season and I really like Bowman and I really like Green. IMO, they are the strength of your squad. I also think JTIII has your guys playing real hard and coming off the big winn @ Pitt the team will be confident and completely sold on JTIII's Princeton-style offense. In the college game, coaches make a huge difference and JTIII has really impressed me when compared to the more talented group of Hoyas that played under Escherick.
But, as they have all season our frontcourt will have the rebounding advantage. I think the Green/Diaw/Hibbert three-headed monster will have a real tough time with Boone and Villanueva. I think Villanueva continues to show a tougher side to his game and will attack the rim with success.
On defense, Bowman is a tough cover for us because Villanueva probably matches up best with him on paper but he can be beaten off the dribble and often plays defense with his hands rather than his feet and can get into foul trouble. This would be a really good time for Brown to step up and earn minutes and trust by covering Bowman and I think JC will challenge him with this match-up-- I think Brown will do a good job."
