Charleston Gazette: Hoya freshman making big mark in the middle

The Hoyas shot better than 50 percent from the floor at Duke Saturday, yet still lost 76-67, in part because Monroe spent much of the afternoon in foul trouble.

Thompson, though, isn't worrying about wins and losses right now because, like all his colleagues in the Big East, that will drive one crazy.

"In this league this year, after key wins you can't get too excited, and after disappointing losses you can't feel too down and think the sky is caving in,'' Thompson said. "I think the team that remains the most even-keeled, the team that just focuses on improving and trying to get better [has the best chance of success]. And that's what we're trying to do - focusing on improving and trying to get better without getting too excited if we have a win or getting too down if they've lost. Everyone's going to see both.''

I don't understand this article, they had their chance for revenge last season and they failed miserably, so why bring it up now?

If I were a journalist with the WVU beat, I would think that making a story about the freshman point guard playing in his biggest road game to date would be a more compelling story.

Not really WVU related, but here is a discussion of Georgetown's defense:

I thought that blog was going to be about taking away the open 3's duke got the other day. I was wondering if CW saw less time on the floor because it seemed henderson shot those 3's right over him and III needed a big guy on him to take that away. Still won't watch that game again until we win...

Liz Clarke -- Back-Court Depth Has Helped Keep The Hoyas Afloat


EXCERPTS

"I think that who starts is irrelevant," Thompson said. "It's who plays, and when they play, and who is playing well, and what combinations are playing well at a specific time. Who parades out there when the score is 0-0 and there are 40 minutes on the clock is not that big of a deal."

But Thompson made clear, just as he did after the loss to Duke, that he feels the disparity between his starters and backups had diminished, giving him more latitude to experiment with his lineup.

Clark, in particular, has impressed in the last four games. In that span, he has played more minutes than Sapp, scored more than twice as many points (36 to 17), posted almost the same assist-to turnover ratio and pulled down an equal number of rebounds (12).
