Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Great job by Caputo and the team to keep Dean and Lindo with two fouls and still be down one possession at halftime. I would have kept Brown in too.  We need Dean and Lindo for the entire second half.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

The boys aren't backing down. BA and JBIV combined 1-10, 12.5% from 3 from the team, and VCU got to the line 15 times and yet we're only down 3. Rest of the guys have stepped up. Refs need to put the whistles away though as it's killing any kind of momentum either team has/can get.

Dean and Lindo are going to pretty much have to play the entire 2nd half with Brown in major foul trouble. Let's see if Bishop and Adams can put together one more show to remember at the Smith Center.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Why doesn´t Caputo use the "use it or lose it" timeout with 20 secs left and Dean on the bench?
If Adams and Bishop wake up (and Samuels does not shoot again), this game might go the way of the good guys.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

All in all a pretty solid first half.  Offense broke down once all our bigs were in foul trouble (understandable), but the defense and rebounding remained solid.  Hopefully the refs let ‘em play in the second half. 

I don’t know what adjustment Caputo makes at halftime, but we should have a counter ready because VCU coach just said they have to defend the paint better (counter being more space, at least for Max? Or for Adams and Bishop to get a little more two man game going?)

I think we're going to have to see Max hit a couple of 3s in the 2nd half along with guys like Lindo and Dean making quick passes to the open man on the perimeter. If they double down low immediately kick out. If not, continue driving towards the basket

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Adams and Bishop are off. Hope they get better in 2nd. Like the assists. And CC switching out Brown on offence and defense. Nice to see a coach adjusting with the circumstances.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Story of second half should be James and Brendan.
They can heat up.
Max always does big things,too

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

NOT a good start in 2nd. Ugly

This is what a brainfart is.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Another brutal call by the refs.  We had a clean double team and block and they called a BS foul on Ricky.  Not good.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Yes,anticipation foul.
Refs are affecting game.
Even TV color guy noticed it first half.

And then they just made a late, bad call for Hunter’s 4th. 

They aren’t giving us these same fouls at the other end.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Adams is really off today.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Our 2 centers now have 4 fouls. Refs really putting the game in their hands. The number of soft fouls that have been called is pretty absurd.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

These announcers are TOTALLY missing the story of the game.  It’s  the foul trouble.

Edit: Right on cue, 4 on Ricky. 

Dean, Brown, Ricky all 4.   Bye bye.

Frontcourt may foul out.

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Annnnddd that's Ricky's fourth. Don't see how we win this game when we have 3 guys on the verge of fouling out

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Re: GW vs VCU Game Thread

Thanks refs. Who are these guys? Hope they don't ref any games in the tourney.
