1. I can't tell you how impressed I am with Giorgi. His post D is really good- better than Black or Finke. I know one game is probably hyperbole, but he seems to understand positioning and how to use his body. I didn't see him ever try to body up early or give up position by lunging. And he is...

Kipper's mistakes were glaring and late in the game, hence the hate. He didn't have a good 2nd half. If he finishes the fast break to take the lead....who knows what happens. Everything else is what we thought- still are going to give up too many easy baskets and don't have anyone to alter...

Bardo is right. You stink your gut into someone- its going to be a foul.

If that is a foul on Kip then we should be in the bonus real quick. GW has their hands on our guards all the time.

I know the redshirt rule is different. Any chance they don't want to waste a game on Kane tonight? What is the new rule? Jones looks much taller than I thought he was.

It was amazing to watch us squander easy transition opportunities last year. Decision-making was atrocious. On the man vs. zone points- BU is going to pressure the ball. With the amount of rotation that causes on the backside, I don't see a great difference in our efforts if we play man or...

Smith's footwork last year being a perfect example. He couldn't get out of the habit of his first step being a 'false step' and thus putting himself out of position immediately. He did the same thing on back cuts. In HS he could body people and his height/athleticism advantage hid that flaw.

Maybe I'm four too many beers in, but I have some optimism going into the season. I think experience in college basketball is really overrated and what is the point of bad experience anyway? Maybe my tune will change a lot when games start or maybe the images of paltry interior defense have...

Is there data for D1 hoops that would be equivalent to WAR? What would be the expected stats of someone playing 25 minutes at different positions? I am not implying that any of the freshmen will match the output of guys leaving, but getting 4.6 rebounds a game over 25 minutes playing close to...

I have contradictory thoughts regarding Finke: 1. I wish he stayed and I know we'd be better if he did. 2. We are not losing that much with him gone. (I will grudgingly acknowledge that perhaps a big reason why he was so bad on defense is that he and the staff knew how thin we were up front)...

I agree that Alstork will be missed defensively and I'd rather have Leron here than gone. Yet I find myself cautiously optimistic regarding next year. We have so many more fouls to give at the 4/5 next year- I mean that in a good way. We also are getting longer and quicker. Offensively, we...

Smith committed two fouls- the first one was a bad call but the 2nd was just dumb. He has been making progress not reactively putting his hands on his man but BU must have wanted to send a message there tonight. My guess is that he got away with that a lot in HS cause he was quick enough to stay...

Alstork may make the dumbest decisions a 5th year senior (or anyone) could possibly make. You are missing the shot on purpose. Just don't touch anyone.

I thought Jordan fouled him. It's knowing situation. Dumb foul. I know he's playing hard just needs to be smart.

Can we overcome our stupidity tonight?
