Hopkins has been terrible. He's really pulling us down. He's had some bad turnovers but made some great plays on D. I think he's blocked 3 shots so far.

Have we ever had a player with as big a gap between his offense and his defense as Hop? Rivers.

Cannot complain about the last play. DSR gets the ball to Paul White who took the shot and the 3 pointer goes in and out of the rim.

Lucky to be down only 6. What with Josh basically a no-show and Hopkins playing like, well, like Hopkins. If were coaching against us, I would leave Hopkins wide open as much as possible and just hope he gets the ball.

2/8 from outside with a ton of turnovers. Defense did tighten up some as the half went on.

Considering some of the offensive decisions, we're in good shape. Put the pedal down Hoyas.

Gave up a few offensive rebounds and too many fouls. Lucky to only be down 6. JTIII has shown he can make half time adjustments so we'll have to see what he can come up with. Obviously Stainbrook's size is tough for Smith and Xavier is going to double and triple team. We have to start hitting some shots. We've had a few good looks from 3 rim out.

This Georgetown teams has a bunch of potential offensive weapons. As I said earlier, we're going to need at least one of the frosh to step up and start playing more like a soph in the second half.

Halftime stats: FG%: GU 39.1, XU 40.7 3 pt%: GU 25.0, XU 44.4 FT%: GU 62.5, XU 74.4 Rebounds: GU 17, XU 15 Assists: GU 3, XU 8 Turnovers: GU 8, XU 4 Fouls: GU 10, XU 6 Two fouls each: DSR, Trawick, Bowen, D. Davis
Could have been worse. The pace in the first eight minutes of the second half will be crucial. We can't go down by 11 and expect to come back.

Shouldn't we expect DSR to go for 20+ every second half now? He did it against Indiana. Anything less and he sucks, right?

Leading scorers @ Half-time
DSR 7pts 2/3 FG's Trawick 6pts 2/3 FG's LJ Peak 4pts 1/1 FG's Bowen 4pts 2/3 FG's
It is starting to become very concerning the lack of scoring from the bench of players not named Aaron Bowen. This is now the 2nd game in a row. Have to wait and see if other players step up in the 2nd half.

Let's not beat up too much on Hopkins until the game is over. Plenty of time yet.
