Print is dead. Ben Standig at csnwashington.com needs to be your source for Hoyas news, though even he was not sent to the Bahamas and he too covers like 4 beats. Print may be dead or dying but those print writers put up their coverage for online consumption too. So they're covering all the bases. Plus...they get a better budget for travel. More than happy with Standing though. The guy even goes to Kenner League games. As an aside, please click through and read Ben's online Hoya content - multiple times, lichoya68-style. The more page views he gets, the more latitude his employers will give him to cover the Hoyas.

I have not seen Wisconsin play, but based on what I am hearing, if I were Coach, I would experiment with a fast unit of White, Copeland, DSR, Hops, and Trawick, with Bowen, Lil Tre, and Copeland subbing. At least to see if may be we can run them out of the gym.

Josh needs to back players down - Shaq style. If they are going to play him so tight with their bodies and look for elbow contact then he should simply bulldoze them with his back end. He was getting doubled by Florida every time he touched the ball last night. He didn't seem to be able to pass out to the open perimeter player very well. When he was positioned up high at the top of the key and handed off to DSR he was drawing defenders and creating lanes. On his roll toward the basket after the handoff DSR need to look for Josh. He was open more than a few times there. Perhaps he just couldn't make the entry pass over the top. Our Hoyas also need to box out to prevent those second chance tip in buckets. Florida must have scored four or five baskets after a great defensive effort by the Hoyas and a terrible shot, only to have a garbage man two by an unblocked Florida forward. Props to DSR for staying with his shot after failing to make so many threes. Peak and White are for real and will be key to continued success this season. Given all the poor perimeter shooting I was wondering if playing in a ballroom had some type of effect on the players. Nobody seemed to be able to hit from outside last night - Gators or Hoyas. Was the perimeter shooting in the other games just as bad? Even if you back somebody down you still have to work to square your shoulders as much as possible while putting your shot up.....

Wow, wish I could have seen this game, but I was stuck in the office working late anyway. DSR and Peak, ONIONS! ONIONS!
Here, however, is a sobering stat. At least according to the ESPN tracker, where I was following the game, Paul White was the only Hoya to grab a rebound in the last 10 minutes of play last night. That is not good. And it looks like our inability to get defensive rebounds down the stretch came back to bite us in the behind today, as well.

Thus far this year, defensive rebounding appears to be an area which needs shoring up.
