but BC doesn't play defense so i don't think it would be a problem. Plus we employed a simillar set agianst ND at points and it didn't hurt us. I don't remember ever only having one guard out there - unless you aren't counting the few minutes that Crawford was the 2. can't find it but i defiently remember a poster saying that it was a great move by coach to only have one guard in there. maybe it was the one of the other games in the BET. |

JTIII went with 1 guard / 4 bigs with about 1:20 left in the ND BET game, while Dajuan Summers was shooting free throws - presumably to defend with length on the perimeter and to control the boards. I pointed it out to my wife while we were watching that G'town was probably bigger 1-5 than most NBA teams. Of course, it didn't work, as ND got 2 offensive rebounds before Haragody was fouled. Anyway, the guhoyas play-by-play is screwed up, but as I recall, the lineup was: 1- J. Rivers 2- D. Summers 3 - P. Ewing 4 - J. Green 5 - R. Hibbert |

Does BC generally play zone, or are we guessing that they will because they are plaing us?

I agree PE2 and Summers need to play on dudley for some time to use up some fouls, but don't pretend that these guys are going to be very successful stopping him. Dudley is a master of up-fakes, and IMO PE2 and Summers have a serious weakness in terms of overeagerness in reacting to shot fakes, Dudley could feast on this. Jeff will be much more successful because he is more disciplined and will make Dudley truly beat him with tough shots, fadeaways and such.

Although it seems to get little consideration, I say it's TC time. I would think he'd be a reasonable defensive counter to Marshall ....

what you call negative i call fair and balanced analysis (just like fox news). just wanted to point out that bc has a quick pg who can penetrate as well as hit the 3, a big guard who cant create but can hit the 3, and a talented post player who can score. we had problems with this combination this year, reminds me of named jackson, falls and harangody as well as reynolds, nardi and sumpter. granted nd and nova had a 4th option in carter and cunningham which hopefully wont be the case with oates. i think bc isnt as talented as those teams but we shouldnt underestimate/understrategerize them.

Hibbert Seems like that was just for defense, and then Wallace came back. I of course wouldn't be surprised if that happened towards the end of the half, but I wouldn't expect to see a 1 guard lineup on offense. |

well we were talking about in terms of matching up with them defensively.
and fair and balanced huh? isn't that Fox News' motto as well?

well we were talking about in terms of matching up with them defensively. Well, not really - I said I'd be worried about turnovers with that lineup, and you said it didn't hurt us against ND. Since we never had that lineup on offense (and only on 1 play on defense) , we didn't really learn anything. Now, I've been wrong about many things in life, and we could use a big lineup. I just don't see it. |
