It Was The Worst of Times, It Was The Best of Times

[Chin Diesel]

Mostly.
A Tale of Two Halves.
Came out of gates fast and looked great for four minutes.
Then it was 16 minutes of what looked like a pickup team playing together for the first time.
@superjohn , I saw you write that in that chat but I had the same thought on my own.

Neither PG made any attempt to run an offense or direct players to do their jobs.

Second half? Way better.

Saw Cole diving for loose balls. He decided the 10' runner is better than going all the way to the rim.

Bouk got going too.


Overall a double digit conference win on the road is always good.

26-25 Gtown at the half.

Second half?

UConn 45-31.

And after game was tied 44-44, UConn finished game on 26-13 run.

We Don’t know what anyone on this team will give us over 40 minutes on any night. Worrying about what they will give us over shorter periods of time is absolutely useless.

Cole was great tonight. But no one has a clue if he will play anywhere near that level on Saturday

We’ve won 80% of our games with Bouk in the lineup—really should be 90%. So yeah, we kinda do know.

Killed em on the boards all night. That was big.

Things went sideways when they switched the broadcast from FS2 to FS1. Probably induced some vertigo which took 20min to recover from...

Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.

Things started going downhill when GTown remembered to turn the gym lights on 5 minutes in...pretty crafty there, Patrick!

We've won 80% but have done it many different ways with different players contributing to wins and different players playing horrific. We have no idea which players, other than Bouk, will contribute on any given night.

Georgetown’s best player is their 58 year old coach.

Things went downhill in the first half when Gaffney went in. He is so much better when he plays without thinking. Just go Jalen.

It was a tough game for Jalen. I would say he’s better off not over-thinking it. And, even more so, the whole offense is better when he plays fast. You can see a tough possession coming when he walks it up court and gives away 4-5 secs of the shot clock. Then, the team seems to move slowly getting organized to run the play, and we’re down to 12 to shoot before the first high handoff.

If I was Hurley, I’d be on Gaffney to play faster - with purpose - all the time.
