Rowan steal and spin to pass forward to Heath who passes off the glass to Fielder off the glass for a slam. More please.

Fielder needs to work on lateral defensive footwork if he is defending out.

Im not out here condoning violence. But weve needed a chip on our shoulder for a long while... This is bush league. He got stripped then did the stupidity to get the tech and kept going with this. This isn't a chip on the shoulder. This is immaturity. He's playing Le Moyne for petes sake.

Nice dunk, but not Fielder's (or Ryan's) type of game tonight.
One of the rare games a Cook & Styles frontcourt will be enough. They both played well tonight.

So nice to see the Hoyas blow out a team they are supposed to blow out and (from the admittedly very little I’ve seen) look competent in doing so.

Nicely done Hoyas. This was something that looked like good basketball.

Brumbaugh and Cook looked really good. Styles can be effective though not necessarily pretty, needs to stay in his lane and not hunt shots. Heath was Heath.
Epps a total punk and I would hope Cooley will reprimand him, but I doubt he will.
Fielder worse defensively than he is good offensively, but will play a lot due to lack of other options.
Overall, solid victory against a horrendous LeMoyne team. Took care of business and crowd seemed decent.

Cooley had no problem benching a player for a game for dumb play at Providence.

Taking a game against Le Moyne with a grain of salt of course. That being said, I thought that in general, everything I wanted to see tonight was on display. Sustained effort throughout. Unselfishness (god how refreshing it is to see guys hit the open man instead of the 1 on 5 isos we had gotten used to during the last 2 seasons). Evidence of preparation and plan to execute. Constructive and detailed instruction during timeouts (vs. REBOUND). Guys even closed out on shooters and got on the floor after loose balls. Not saying this team is tourney bound or even competitive yet in the BE, but it at least looks competent and has direction. This was a game where we would allow far lesser teams to linger or even steal at times in recent years. This was a dominant performance from start to finish with no real lulls in between. That's an encouraging first step.

This isn't a chip on the shoulder. This is immaturity. He's playing Le Moyne for petes sake. Oh come on, you have no idea what Depersia was saying to him to elicit that kind of reaction. Sure, he needs to keep better composure, but the Tech was most definitely the second guy getting flagging after the first guy started it.

That was refreshing.
Very few of our games are going to be that easy, and you generally can't learn a lot against an opponent like this, but I think it was pretty illustrative of what we want to do, before those pesky defenses get in the way.
I appreciated the constant movement, the team play, the rotations meant to generate open players either down or for an open three. I really only remember once or twice resorting to hero ball, though we did take quite a few quick threes to my mind. Epps had some really nice drives and dishes, as well -- it's been a while since we had someone really trying to get easy buckets for our bigs. I even love the semi-pointless weave we run at times simply because it makes people move.
It's good that we have it, because we're going to need it. Heath, maybe Epps, probably not Styles but maybe seem like the only guys who can create off the dribble -- and that's against LeMoyne. I like Rowan's game but he wasn't creating much separation against LeMoyne. Cook got started in the second half but it'd be hard to argue that you can be confident in any kind of low post game there translating up.
We'll largely live and die with our defense, some pretty good 3 pt shooting, and whatever we can generate as a team. Good news on that is the team does look like it can shoot pretty well even without Massoud. Epps and Styles may be streaky, I'm guessing, from form, but Rowan and Heath's stroke look pretty solid.
The interior is going to be a struggle. I think Cook and Mutombo will be okay, but I have a feeling we get killed on the glass in some of these matchups. Not sure who is going to consistently finish in the trees, either. And our 3 pt D looks like it'll be ahead of the interior.
That's all okay. The team plays together. It has a plan. I think we're going to have some surprises. And I think our biggest issue will end up being depth -- I think we may see a year where the starters can kind of hold their own and then the backups struggle to keep up with opposition backups.
We'll see. I'm happy.

Night and day from the last few seasons. Night and day. There was effort, enthusiasm, team play. Just delightful to watch.
This team will play hard and represent Georgetown well this season, regardless of its record. Le Moyne did not offer any sort of test, so who knows whether the Hoyas have potential to exceed expectations. But in one night, the vibe around the program was completely transformed. That’s already the biggest win of this season. Hoya Saxa!

The first one, in particular. We had just taken a few threes that we didn't need to, and there was a focus on patience on offense and running our stuff. And then we went and did that. I know our bar is beyond low, but it was so nice.
