Postgame thoughts: It's 1:34, and...

[SUbear]

He follows the ball unlike McLeod who stands and watches and is slower

It is not that Macloed is that much slower afoot, he often fails to move his feet at all. Whether this is reaction time or just not recognising where he needs to go and do, I do not know. He needs to move his feet though or he will always be out of position to make plays.

Big John Thompson opened up a can of eternal whoopass with the "Manley Field House is officially closed" garbage. They wanted some? Well...they gonna keep getting some, forever more!

 

[DoctorBombay]

Who is Red talking to in the photo on bottom right?

CJ...who looks like he could still suit up right now!

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I think Red may have unlocked something here. Need to see a ton more of Q and Hima

You’re going to get a certain subset of the populous very excited referencing Q

 

[Lenox]

Starling’s form looked genuinely better/smoother today, noticeably so. Copeland went full boss mode… when was last time we saw a putback dunk like that?! Feels like it’s been years.

Matthew Moyer/Roberson comes to mind

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Man thank god we rolled them . Gtown had a guy with the ALL TIME PUNCHABLE FACE in Brumbaugh. I couldn’t continue living if we lost to that face

Never would have guessed Starling had 21, great game!

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Who was it who has been slamming Hima? He has talent. Seems like maybe he's healthy again.

It was me. Sounds like I stand corrected. Be glad to see him do it against a better team as well.

"Dad, who are these guys again?"

I had about 20 less beers today than I did that awesome afternoon in 2003.

The defense really tightened up in the second half, that backdoor action went away. Also fun to watch the doubles and traps at halfcourt, almost like a CYO game. I don't know if there is a stat for poked balls (Chip not that) but we may lead in it.

And there was one bitter Hoya lady next to team Bayside. Foul mouthed and loveless. Judah Mintz had whatever Hoya fans there besides themselves with his getting to the line.

Good to see the reall JJ today. More of that please.

Saw the gray out shirt next to you, was hoping that wasn't a relative.

Group behind us in the first half was like my group in my 20s/30s. Harmless, but enjoying the day. We were packed in in the first half and it must have been 150 degrees in the upper deck. Moved the corner in the 2nd half, much more comfortable.

Upper deck didn't have ushers and only had 2 concession lines open. They're not accustomed to having fans up there. But along came Syracuse.

She was awful, foul mouthed and bitter. Even my wife decided to go all nuts for Cuse just to make her more bitter.

The other GTown guys around me were bitter they didn't recruit Mintz. But they were nice.

Hoya cheerleaders tried the Sax Hoya thing with signs and crickets.

Red stayed in DC for the GW game for a rare chance to see his son play in person.

 

[UpstateSM]

It felt like a rivalry today and it hasn't felt that way in awhile

 

[Cheriehoop]

Matthew Moyer/Roberson comes to mind

Tyus Battle, Elijah Hughes, Oshae Brissett .

That woman needed to be reminded that not recruiting Mintz is a heralded Hoya tradition. Funny how 2 guards that the Hoyas thankfully wanted nothing to do with, ended up great players at SU! Sherm and Mintz - love it. I think they missed another great too - Lawrence Moten!

 

[pattycuse]

Beg forgiveness if this was said elsewhere-

But watching those sweet Orange script jerseys fast breaking up the court and smacking around the Hoyas just brings me great joy…

LFGO!!!

 

[br801]

What a wonderful Saturday. How about Copeland and JJ today? Hima!

Reports of JJ's demise were greatly exaggerated.

 

[br801]

I see a vision in this second half..

Mintz/JJ/Westry/Taylor is going to be a very strong lineup and might have been Red's vision. If JJ can score like he did today then we don't need Bell on the floor and can use Taylor more for his IQ and rebounding to support a 3 guard lineup.

While we don't have a real "offense" if JJ can make plays and score then that lineup is our best lineup.

Not so fast, my friend. We will need Bell on the floor to be successful. His shooting is a damn weapon that you need in today's game.

He played well today. But the recency bias in this forum is overwhelming. After (or even during) every game, people react to a good or bad performance by a player or coach as if it will somehow be the norm forevermore. It's ridiculous.

 

[swish7]

Nice win, on the downside

7 assists to Georgetowns 14. Night in and night out our aasist numbers are low. Just the type of ball we'll play with this lineup I guess.

14 TOs. Just seemed like we were getting stripped left and right... avoidable stuff.. Georgetown had 14 too, so a wash I guess. Would have won by 20 w a reduction in the unforced TOs.

That's it. Everything was pretty cool otherwise.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Is there any way to watch a full replay? I was traveling and only just saw the 8minute highlights.

Which were impressive. seemed like Hima played a lot but the number of minutes wasn’t that high. McLeod only played 4? He didn‘t get injured, did he? Good minutes for Hima. So glad he could contribute.

Those two follow dunks by Copeland and Brown were spectacular. We haven’t seen that kind of thing in a while.

So good to get The Real JJ back.

Down goes Georgetown. I am exhausted but now I can smile.

McLeod was a disaster on defense and the board is his brief mins so he didnt come back in, after Red said his foot was sore. We’ll see. Hopefully it is injury and he can get better
