Edit: "ROOT" for the Hoyas Your point is well taken, however. One thing's for sure, I feel a hell of a lot better about our 5-0 than Ucon's, and I even feel better about our 5-0 record this year, vs. when we were 5-0 last year, and also Roy's Sr. year. There's something about the chemistry, ability, experience and movement with this team than with any other Hoya team, at least since we went on that incredible run in '07 from the loss to Pitt in January, all the way to the Final Four. We'll get beat at some point this year, but it will take a Hell of a team to beat us, and they are going to have to be on TOP of their game to beat the Hoyas this year. I do love still being relatively unnoticed with the experts like we were in '07 - going from ranked to not ranked until the end of January that year.

1984AOA - I remember 1987 well (soph year), but I would argue that team was much more based around Ben Gillery than the guards;-) eh, I mean that other guy, what's his name...oh yea, REGGIE! We started two juniors and a senior in the front court, and the senior had played in two final fours and won a national championship- and we had a backup guard who ended up being first team all American, NBA starter and stole the starting guard roll the following year. hardly the look of UConn this year, which is basically a gang of punks without big game experience (except MSU - I don't count UK because they are all puppies too, plus they play for Cal, so they don't actually get coached). They just won a tournament in a gym that seats 2400 - more like the high school gyms those kids are used to and not even large enough to host a BEast game.
To me the most interesting moment in Maui was in the second half against UK. Kemba drove left and dished to Oriaki in the low post and he converted. The cameraman shooting from the far end of the court got a shot of Oriaki thumping his chest. But right in front of him is Kemba, also pumping his chest and congratulating himself for the great play he had made. Not sharing a moment with his teammate but hogging the limelight. Good luck with that over 30+ games.

seaweed, I noticed and thought the same thing about the chest thumping. I don't have a problem with it every now and again in tight games but when you're up by a bunch and you're doing it, you're just classless. Though it doesn't surprise me at all since it's UConn. Kemba has looked really good (when did he learn to shoot) but beyond that, I wasn't overly impressed with UConn or UK. UK took so many ridiculously low percentage shots and just kept taking them. UK has plenty of athleticism but not much in the way of good basketball players.

Kemba's competition might have been better - however, Austin could have had 40 plus if he wasn't working with Chris to bring the underclassmen along.

Sugar vs. Sugar Free might end up being an interesting debate at the end of the year.

please note in this comparision discussion this game last year where i believe mr sugar free set his record scoring with 33 points was against.............................................................and not 100% sure on this so somebody correct me.............................was it against the uconn huskies and mr keemba walker ................. head to head ............................so nuf said CANT WAIT FOR UCONN. BUT ALSO alot of tough games to come ie i think uconn now probably doesnt go out of the state of conn like usual plays maybe yale and quniipicac and maybe sacred heart etc etc and we play HMMM competition.. like missouri like 11th and memphis like 14h and temple like 21st and utah state preety good all the first three away... after the maui my conn brother in law called and said we had a cupcake schedule and they beat two top ten teams and i said WE WILL SEE go hoyas go austin.. id take him above keemba any day in fact chris wright is now a true point quard.. and feeds the guys so as i said uconn is pretty good but we will see GO HOYAS WE ARE GEORGETOWN YES AND its february getting ready for .......february YES
