yes be sure to switch over so you can hear ESPN suck the Big East's dick to get the TV contract

our offense went stagnant when they went to the zone. 1/3 of their points came from that Hayes kid going nuts for about 4 trips down the court.

First half in a nutshell

3/12/2009 7:51:31 PM

Needs more zonebuster

3/12/2009 7:51:39 PM

mays seemed like the only one who knew how to attack the zone


he is playing well

3/12/2009 7:52:36 PM

I wouldn't say Mays is playing particularly well.

we are looking pretty lifeless on offense with him running the show.

???

They signed a contract like 1.5 years ago. They also have a television contract with the ACC...

sorry, i meant to say because of the contract...look, I know you're a Big East fan and all, but you can't possibly think that they have the best conference ever in the history of basketball this year as vitale and other ESPN talking heads would have you believe

maybe early on but at least he is penetrating, opening things up for the bigs

the rest are playing herb ball

3/12/2009 7:56:30 PM

I know we're going to suck next year but my one hope is that we can lose games in a different way because I'm growing tired of seeing us lose the same way over and over.

3/12/2009 7:56:56 PM

why would mays play well? he barely played the last half of the season

3/12/2009 7:57:27 PM

ok, we had 20 points with 10 minutes left and this is the score??

I guess this is the way we rest our team for the rest of the tourney. The thing that hurt us is that we didn't get a rest for 7 minutes of gameplay.

message to javi, keep attacking like you did for the first 5 minutes. everyone else, move the fuck around.

Nah, some of the 70s ACC and 80s Big East years were better (one year St Johns, Villanova AND Georgetown made the Final 4 and Syracuse made the Elite 8. But it clearly, in my opinion, has the best Top 8 in the country this year. No conference tournament can even COME CLOSE to claiming a better field quarterfinals and on.

seriously, wtf

was Lowe saving him for the ACC tournament? The surprise Simon Harris/Mays combo was Lowe's secret tourney weapon I guess

3/12/2009 7:59:51 PM

Lets see if the team can figure out that open shots are all over the place if you just use your big man to screen their perimeter zone defenders thus having their big men jump up to defend

The easiest shot should be the big man driving back towards the basket after setting the screen

3/12/2009 7:59:52 PM

ESPN's halftime guys are smoking something or on acid

3/12/2009 8:00:08 PM

Costner and Fells owe us about 20 points each in the second half.

3/12/2009 8:00:58 PM

if lowe lets them play in the 2nd half, he will prob hold them out so they dont get their 3rd fouls

3/12/2009 8:03:56 PM

plz to come out ready for the 2nd half

3/12/2009 8:04:40 PM

NBA draft... practices...

3/12/2009 8:06:51 PM

Uh oh. Grevious getting going.

BC and Fells need to stay on the floor if we have a chance...

3/12/2009 8:07:53 PM

vasquez goes sprawling across the floor and they'll call a foul on javi.

3/12/2009 8:08:51 PM

costner used to make those back in the day

3/12/2009 8:08:52 PM

Ah, fuck... on Fells.

Work the ball inside please

3/12/2009 8:12:32 PM

we are so bad.

we are the only freaking team in the country that can't convert a 3-on-2 or even 3-on-1 break.

[Edited on March 12, 2009 at 8:13 PM. Reason : ]

3/12/2009 8:12:32 PM

You can't seriously get on him taking that 3 in transition, can you? Shit, I can make that 60% of the time with no one near me.

3/12/2009 8:12:36 PM

LET'S FIRE SOME MORE 3S

3/12/2009 8:12:41 PM

BULLSHIT FUCKING CALL

3/12/2009 8:13:24 PM

terrible call

yeah, when he never makes them and wastes a possession, i can.

3/12/2009 8:13:50 PM

the only time we can convert on the break is when javi has it in his hands.

SO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT TO HIM, SID!

3/12/2009 8:14:34 PM

We are terrible... please get some motion in this offense

3/12/2009 8:14:57 PM

Hayes is 4 of 5 on 3s

3/12/2009 8:15:19 PM

Costner seemed to be more effective when he posted up then moved outside. Now he just lives outside.

3/12/2009 8:15:34 PM

When you break the press go to the freaking basket! Make them freaking pay!!!

3/12/2009 8:15:45 PM

we're done

3/12/2009 8:15:48 PM

this is a terribly called game so far. that in combination with the fact that we appear to have made ZERO halftime adjustments means we are going to freaking lose this game and piss me off again. i have NO faith in this team.

3/12/2009 8:16:00 PM

Costner is 6'9 and does fuck all with his height.

3/12/2009 8:16:40 PM

AHHHH... Jimmy Dykes. John Swafford really does a bang up job. Just ask him about his superpower football conference and it's successful Championship game that draws all of 500 people

3/12/2009 8:16:45 PM

haha, this is pathetic. If we don't go after the block, we watch the shot and don't rebound. You might as well contest more shots if you're going to suck.


This is miserable to watch. How can a simple zone kill us so much??? i would think we were practicing against it allllll week long.
