Washington game thread

HUGE missed FT by DJO.  Now need to win it with the D.  

Well, maybe win it with the O ...

He is 1 for 6 and none have been close.  Got a feeling he is due.  Soon

Sometimes, barely, I am right.  

What a second half for him.

Last shot was like Butler's against St. John's .

Nice......

almost killed me. solid washington team. they will be very good at the end of the year

If you believe we are as good as our ranking.....good teams find a way to win bad/tough games.  Come selection time, it will simply be another W.

Question: who does Washington play next?  Dickie V didn't mention it enough...14 times just wasn't enough to stick.

Just watched replay of Crowder's shot.  Man, Wilson was wide open under the basket.  No one within five feet of him.  Didn't see that live.

Think both of the above illustrate Otule's value to the team..covers up a lot of deficiencies and this Ndyaie dude would be a non factor with Chris in the game...

Absolutely spot on.  The entire complexion of that game would likely have been different with Chris.  Fewer offensive rebounds, fewer back door layups/dunks.  

I hope he is ok because you just witnessed what the defense will be like without him when we play athletic teams that attack the basket.

I'm looking for whatever I can, but the fact that he was up and walking around without crutches (even precautionary) at the end of the game is probably a good sign.  Still might be out for a bit but much better than the alternative.  Still, I'll be anxious until we hear an official diagnosis.

Yep.  I commented on that in another thread.  Crowder could have shot or passed.  If he misses, Wilson is there for the put back.  They must have put everyone on Cadougan.

I was already watching and hoping it wasn't a big rebound cause Jamil had the putback.  Sprang from my seat when it went in!

Let's hope Chris is ok and it's just a mild sprain.  23 days until Vandy, we have the talent to win until then if Jae/Gardner/Wilson/Anderson can play tough inside.  Didn't think it looked like a bad spain or tear and they were very quick to call it a sprain without hinting it could be worse, I'll take that as a good sign.
