Really impressed with Agau's defense today, especially in the first half. Was moving his feet and challenging everything.
The entire team looked plugged in today. Keep it rolling fellas!!

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! (I could replace Seton Hall with Butler too)

But let's focus on the games ahead and steal one back! (I could replace Seton Hall with Butler too) Yep - nailed it. I hope the team gets this as well. A little extra effort and a little bit of luck, we easily could have 4-5 more wins. Can't look back though. As bad as we've been this season, they have a real chance to make the tourney if they continue to play well. Beat Creighton and win the other 3 (SJU, Hall and Depaul) and play Nova tough then win a game in the BE tourney and, well... anything can happen.

We've removed all margin for error unfortunately, but barring losing 2 of the next 3, we will at least go into the Nova game still alive. Given where we were a few weeks ago, I'll take it.
Despite my criticism of JT III, the fact this team is still playing hard and didn't pack it in at 1-6, and has made February at least worth watching and hoping, says something.
For better or worse I think this fact will lead the administration to bring him back next year with or without a bid. Let's hope it's it the former at least.

I love the seven-man rotation. I think we stop the insanity on the lineup-go-round from here out. These are the guys on the floor unless they need...ahem...a gentle reminder about working on defense.

I was amazed how many times I found myself saying "Good defense" today. This was the best complete game defense we've played this season, IMO. Also very impressed by the rebounding. I think Marquette was really taken out of their game by the Hoyas' work on the boards.
Nugget from the stands: At the end of the 2nd half t-shirt cannon timeout, a jerk Marquette fan got his hands on two t-shirts and threw one back at the t-shirt gun and one at the cheerleaders. The t-shirt gun guy pointed at him to say "I know who you are" then as he got off the court went straight into the stands, gave the guy an earful then called over the Verizon security and the jerk Marquette fan got tossed.

Does anyone know the reason for Govan's angry blow up in the 1st half? It was a couple of min after he picked up his second foul and occurred right at the start of a full time out. Govan was walking quickly back across halfcourt towards the huddle gesturing angrily and a couple of his teammates and JT3 stepped in to calm him down. To me it seemed like he may have been directing his anger towards Agau but Akoy just went and quickly sat down in the huddle area without engaging so maybe he wasn't involved. At least four teammates and three coaches made a point of speaking with Jesse to get him completely calmed down and there was nothing further. I didn't see anything that was a likely cause and it didn't end up amounting to much, just a weird sequence.

That's got to be a reference to the Marquette player calling us lazy. If they used it as motivation, good for them. Couldn't believe that quote didn't get more attention before. Whatever it was, I hope they can keep that going. That may be the best defense we've played in a couple of years. Marquette can clearly go bombs away from three, and they barely got any looks at all today. That was smothering. So glad to see it.

Quietly, Agau has gotten better - as if he has more confidence in his repaired knee. Amen to this. Akoy is definitely my unsung hero today. 11 rebounds among his many contributions. He's our best bench player. I also love his enthusiasm, especially in the pregame huddle!

BTW, does anyone know what happened with Bradley? It looked like some kind of first-half injury; he left the court, skipped the second-half warmups, and never returned. Apologies if this has already been covered upthread.

Apologies if this has already been covered upthread. I sit near the Georgetown bench and after he got injured in the first half, it looked like he tried to test out the leg on the stationary bike. After that, he went back into the locker room with the trainer. When he reappeared with the trainer towards the end of the first half, the trainer visibly shook his head to the assistant coaches as if to say "no go." I hope he's ok - we could really use him for depth the next few games.

Apologies if this has already been covered upthread. He apparently aggravated the foot injury from last week when he went to the floor early in the game today.
