Who would be on first team All-Opponent Team (who hurt UConn especially)?
Perhaps there would be a single game category, where Elijah Allen might qualify for greatest individual performance in one game. Toby Bailey? Laettner?

There could also be a career category for opponents who we played multiple times, such as other Old Big East players: Kerry Kittles, Lawrence Moten, Darius Lane, Ontario Lett, Linehan, etc.

Who else should be first teamers?

Silva?

I can't stand the guy, but Allen Iverson HAS to be on that list. Other Georgetown players would include, Motombo, Mourning & Roy Hibbert, who beat us with a 3 point shot!

Iverson certainly isn't winning any post-career accolades, but the dude could play. Moreso in the NBA where he blossomed vs at Georgetown. I don't recall him putting up any monster games vs UConn, we had a guy on the team named Ricky Moore at the time.

Kerry Kittles
Peyton Siva
Ryan Comes
Marvin Saddler
Terry Dehere
Jerry Walker
Scottie Reynolds
DeJuan Blair
 
boubacar ow seemed to always shut down ray...

chevy troutman and knight from pitt come to mind too.
 
Pretty soon, you guys will have named every player in the big east from 1995 to 2012. Doesn't anyone remember that we dominated the BE for most of that time? These guys couldn't all have killed us, or we'd have lost a whole lot more than we did.

Yeah and he didn't even play against us..actually the Mizzou defense is on our * list more than he.

I think he got 22 pts and 10 assists against UConn but people are correct Bailey had a career high 26.
 
Jack "the shot" Foley, early 60's from Holy Cross - put up 56 on UConn. Now that dude could score.

Any updates on practices #2/3?

In terms of being a bigger stretch: That lineup actually being the 2nd team >>>>>> That lineup being a 20 win P5 starting lineup

I don't think that is the second team. In scrimmages, it is rarely first team vs. second team.

I think a better description would be one team vs. the other.

Unless Brimah is hurt, I don't think there any way he doesn't start...Purvis either. Boatright is a given.

I wouldn't be surprised if Brimah didn't start to protect him from picking up quick fouls. Plus having come off the bench say at the 5 minute mark is a good way to keep the opposing team off balance. He'll have starters minutes though so long as he doesn't foul excessively.

I think you put Boat and Purvis on different teams just to create balance plus it makes them both better.

That's what I'm trying to say. There is no way this was the projected starting 5 vs. the bench.

I disagree about Brimah. You risk falling into an early hole with your best interior defender on the bench and there is no guarantee that he won't pick up 2 quick fouls after the first TV time out, either. At that point you can't get any of those minutes back. I find that to be a bad strategy.
