This wouldn't worry or bother me all that much if we hadn't lost to Providence. Feel exactly the same way. That loss was pretty crushing to this team's hopes to do much this year. Now we're likely to just be on the right side of the bubble, get a 7-11 seed, and be in a tossup first round NCAA game. That's assuming we hold serve on the remaining 3 very winnable home games. |

This is absolutely the last time I watch a game without drinking.

Updated Stats 14/52 FG's 26.9%, 1/16 3pt FG's 6.3%, 12/18 FT's, 66.7% What is the last game where the Hoyas only made 1 3pt shot? And the problem is many of those 3 point shots were open looks. It was one thing if they were off balance or hotly contested shots, but so many were just set shots that missed. Our confidence shooting the ball is in the toilet right now. |

Hopefully the drawing board has enough room for both our offense and defense. Hard to find anyone who has played well recently. Particularly alarming is the play of several players over the longer term. Only DSR and Copeland have been reasonably consistent until today. The remainder have been off. White and Peak have been slumping for weeks. I really believe that Smith is not a net plus. Someone correctly characterized it as fitting a square peg into a round hole. I just do not believe that his positives exceed the liability.

Like us if we had lost to Creighton and DePaul. The way we have played lately Depaul would have smoked us. |

Tourney teams will take advantage of our 4 on 5 defense (smith) our 4 on 5 offense (hopkins)

How many bunnies did we miss today? Seems like a dozen. |

Agreed...White and Copeland seem like better options. Not a lot good happens when Smith is that far out on the floor. The way White has played the last few games, he is not a better option for anything. Still would rather see Paul than Hopkins.. |

I don't think I've ever seen a team turn the ball over 20 times and still win by almost 20.

Hopefully JT3 has something more to teach than "what did you guys see out there?" or is that something he does only when the cameraman comes into the TO huddle? |

More options are available if players on the court would take advantage of the match ups. In the first half white had a gaurd posted in the low post and the passer looked awayed amd passed the ball to the other side ofthe court. that is on players to recognize matchup advantages when you got them. Possible foul or possible points against other team

I feel much better going forward after this game than after the Xavier game. We will be fine, time for some confidence.

I don't think I've ever seen a team turn the ball over 20 times and still win by almost 20. That stat is almost amazing. I knew Villanova got really careless with the ball in the 2nd half, but I couldn't believe they threw it away 20 times. That just goes to show you how poor our performance was today. |

Yup. Can't be mad about a split with the team that will win the conference and is a top 5 team in the country. They are playing motivated, great defense, and hitting their shots. Hats off. Be mad about the home losses to Xavier and provvy. Going forward this team needs to limit turnovers and josh smith needs to have some self-control. His fouling is ruinous. That's nonsense. We are playing like absolute crap. I can deal with losing, but this is just lazy garbage. It's not nonsense-- when the #7 team in the country shows up and plays their A game at home they are not going to lose. In fact, they are probably going to win by double digits.... We didn't play well but Nova had a vote in that.... |

As Kevin O'Neill just said in the studio. "Georgetown played with no energy and like they didn't want to be there." So sad.

As others said, Nova turned the ball over 20 times and still kicked the crap out of us. |

Kentucky's roster is way better than ours. Nova...not by much.
