NovaPittIn a sports bar, I honestly couldn't tell what was going on and definitely didn't see a trip. But here's two independent sources. Hifi - that call on Hibbert was embarassing. Hibbert did nothing and the defender just fell down. That's what it looked like to me too. Hibbs had the defender sealed off squarely behind him and raised his arms to give a target for the pass and the guy fell back on his a$$. But there was an immediate whistle. The feed we got only gave one replay and it was very quick and showed nothing. The ESPN broadcast needed some work--there were at least 3 free throws we didn't see b/c the camera was zoomed in on the shooter's face. And they did the 30 at 30 thing during an entire possession, as well as a few other times where they kept the camera on the bench instead of on the play.

Cheddar Bob -- greatest nickname in college basketball. He needs to return to the 8-mile, hook up that factory job and figure out which payment plan he wants to use for his next tattoo. In the meantime, he will define my hatred for SUcks for the next three years.
Jeremiah Rivers -- for all you who continue to heap the negatives on him, time will tell. I hate, absolutely hate, people on this board who call out others for lack of basketball X's-and-O's knowledge...but I am going to do exactly that: If you watch Rivers play and ALL you see is a liability, then you need to play, watch, study and read about basketball. He is a freshman. He is not perfect. He belongs in the Big East and on this team.
Rautins: Yeesh, that rat-faced bastard can shoot. Beautiful stroke. Killed us.
Demetrius Nichols: If he wins conference POY that will define the weakness of this year's BE. This guy is borderline NBA talent.
Boeheim: I can't stand him. He's a good coach.
Hibbert: our true back-to-the-basket, intimidating, shot blocking/altering 7'2" center with a feathery soft shot and hook shot from both hands who could be chosen in this year's NBA lotto gets about 5-6 shot attempts per game. Hmmmm, that sounds about right...
Finally: The odds that we shoot 30% from the field again in the next 10 games is...what? At 52% for the year, with our previous single-game low being, what, 42% against Hartford in Game 1, what are the odds we shoot 30% again? It won't happen. I'd rather law an egg against ANYONE during the regular season instead of in the BET and NCAA's.
Who's next? Oh, yeah, that's right...bring on the UConnvicts.
Hoya Saxa.

...I don't know if i have the heart to watch it on the DVR. i think deleting it might just purge the thought from my head that we lost to 'Cuse My advice? Delete it. Nothing good can come to your psyche from watching that debacle. Yeah, that's how I feel too. But, its done. I am doing my best to forget about it.

If Nichols gets the Big East Player of the Year--it's a disgrace. He's a nice offensive player that has no impact on the game other then taking off balance 3's and his shooting didn't nearly have the meaning in last night's game that Rautins did. Rautins was key to game for Cuse--he hit some huge 3's--to cut lead from 5 down to 2, to give them lead, and he was challenged and shooting from very deep--tip your hat to him and move on--next time you face him--have to put someone on him that can play physical off the ball and take advantage of his slight build.
As for nicknaming Devendork "Cheddar Bob"--I just had to come up with something for that little scumball. Rat Boy was taken by Chris Quinn last year--as there is an "annual Rat Boy", I'm thinking of naming Rautins "Solar Baby" after Lukas Haas from a terrible movie that tormented my early teen years when shown on HBO---Rautins needs a nickname after last night. As for Daryl Watkins--aka Carmelo Anthony and La La Vasquez's "Conan Baby"---he is Mel-La La.
Actually as I think about it--the entire Cuse team could be 8 Mile--Paul Harris could be "Lotto"--as in "Quick, give this man another STERIOD" or if you prefer, "Tank Top screaming out, Lotto I don't Fit you".
This has motivated me for my upcoming "All Big East Teams" which of course include--Most Annoying, Ugliest People, Which Guy I'd like to see take an Elbow to the Throat, etc....and it's a battle between Cheddar Bob Devendork, Luke Harongody, and Grevis Vasquez--who despite not playing in the Big East--deserves mention for being one of the most annoying people in the history of CBB--I mean I hated Christian Laettner, but even I would enjoy him stomping on Vasquez.

Just a suggestion, and I don't really know how to make your nickname out of it, but Devondorf is really a poor man's Pitts ... as in Pittsnogle from last year Mounties.

Rotten and Devondork are just TOO obvious.

Was that Devendorf trip/elbow on Green the same play when Roberts went down? If so, I harped on that in HoyaChat as it happened. It looked like the refs were focused on Roberts and missed it (big surprise).
Just to add to TBird's point, not only did the telecast consistently miss FTs, but we missed an entire steal and layup by Cuse (not that I wanted to see that anyways) after we had cut it to 1 midway in the 2nd half because of their stupid updates and insistence on showing us highlights of the Bethune Cookman-Delaware St. game. Who the hell cares...

I don't advocate missing any Hoya game, but I gotta agree with Filo -- save yourself the torture, man. ...I don't know if i have the heart to watch it on the DVR. i think deleting it might just purge the thought from my head that we lost to 'Cuse My advice? Delete it. Nothing good can come to your psyche from watching that debacle. Yeah, that's how I feel too. But, its done. I am doing my best to forget about it.

Well, the streak couldn't last forever. It was a great run, and now the Hoyas can get right back into their groove by beating UConn.
GO G'TOWN!

Ok I've heard enough of ten pages. The tide has turned on this thread but one last thing...
Shut up. All of you shut up. Your knee gut reaction kills me and kills the board.
I'm glad most of is it over. Go Hoyas!
