Yeah, me too when he plays like this.. Fortunately he plays like this more then he does selfish Pryor. I would say when he plays hero Pryor but I get what you mean.. He's been great today, no doubt about it..

Undoubtedly the best weve played this season. This is the type of team we expected this year.

Best comment "Now it's on tape."
So much for not "talented" enough to play defense. Eight days to prepare for a team you beat by 20. Keep it going.

The formula is to work Govan outside/in, keep him facing the basket as much as possible..
Doing this makes Gtown a tough out..

PPG - 63 Their entire squad - 62 š Quette definitely had an off day but it just shows how well we can play when it is clicking.

There were 2 guys between him and the basket. But keep trying, I am sure you can find other ways to criticize the coach when we are up 16 points. So let me get this straight it was a good TO when we had numbers with our best player driving to the hoop when we would've got a free TO a few seconds later? Yes we have played great today. A welcome change. Yes it was a good timeout. It was not like LJ had a clear path; watch it again, he beat his man, but there were 2 defenders and no other Hoyas between him and the basket. And I don't care about the TV timeout; as a coach you can never rely on it. We had 3 bad offensive trips, we were stagnating, and Marquette scored twice quickly to cut it to 10 after it had been as high as 16. You don't wait for another missed shot or turnover, and another 2 or even 3 at the other end; you stop the opponent's momentum and remind your team how they got their big lead in the first place.

Really nice win and effort. Hard to watch the team today and not wonder what a good coach would have done with this group. At the very least we should be a solid NCAA tournament team. No reason for this roster to have to scratch and claw back to the bubble.
Congrats, guys.

Well, that was good. I especially liked their 3 pt D. They were very active and it was not just Marquette missing them, they were not taking the 3. In the first game they had 23 attempts, this time about half of that. Probably Jessie's best game (until garbage time). Also, they cracked the boards. The only down was their FT shooting, which could have been better.
Also, I liked Brando calling out the WaPo for not reporting anything on the Hoya game vs Marquette.

Solid game on both ends. Agau continues to define his role as the defensive post. Govan really developing. Peak and Pryor both contributed with smart play. Only MD among the key players floundered. Great to see Hoyas rebounding well.

There is no reason this team can't go 4-1 down the stretch. That being said there was no reason we should have lost to Providence twice.
Also - what the Top 16 reveals that Top 50 wins were valued by the committee. Bodes well for us as we have 3 and possibly 5-6 depending on where Syracuse winds up and our potential to beat Creighton and Seton Hall.

See, I told you. Trey gets PT and we dominate!
Kidding of course, but it is a factually correct statement.

Best Hoya performance this year and it lasted the full game. Also best defense of year. And aggressive from start to finish.

I'm excited for sure. But what the hell just happened? They played great defense (with the exception of switching too often for no good reason and Jessie being lazy on multiple defensive sets - nitpicking of course) rebounded and took excellent shots. I'm so confused. We looked like a very passionate, well-coached team that simply wanted it more. But we also passed the ball really well and made shots. I'm really liking feeling confused.

As pleased as I am with today's win I can't stop thinking had we just beaten Seton Hall last week we'd be 5th in the conference and most likely "in" most brackets. Sigh.
But let's focus on the games ahead and steal one back!
