First close game of the year. Let's see how they respond.

They look pretty terrible today but still only down 5.

The turnovers were disconcerting but G'Town basically had one guy who had a career game. I think UW wins 9 out of 10 against that team and 7 times they beat them by at least 10.

That's not really a knock on G'Town either. They're probably a top 15 team when it's all said and done.

Good to see they can win a game against a quality opponent even when Kaminsky lays an egg.

This was a huge character win and its important for the team moving forward. They were able to take the lead after trailing the majority of the second half, and seal the win with an unconventional lineup due to foul trouble. Its impossible to put in to words how huge this was for the team. Very excited for the Duke showdown next week.

Kaminsky plays like he's a sophomore, both senior guards are in foul trouble, guy on Georgetown hits 5-5 3's before the final shot and Badgers still pull it out.

Koenig is going to be so good. Thought he was our best guard last year and still do.

That was a fun ass game to watch. Koenig and Dukan stepping up when we needed them was huge. Kaminsky needs to grow a pair against bigger, more physical opponents. He looked totally out of his element out there today. Dekker needs to keep driving to the hoop rather than jacking those early shot clock 3's.

All in all, we played a bad game and still won against what looks to be a good G'Town team.

Koenig is going to be greqt. He's already very good on the offensive end. Needs to work on the D, but I expect that will turn out fine.

Having said that, Gasser is easily their best guard right now.

I disagree. Clearly their best defensive guard, but I think the gap in offense is bigger. Koenig can do everything well on that end.

These refs can go to hell. How about we knock down a **** shot?

Turk Nowitzki · Post #112 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 10:05 pm

We just don't look as disciplined as I'm used to seeing either.

Dukan going off

Turk Nowitzki · Post #114 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 10:15 pm

These other teams are good but we are doing so many dumb things I'm not used to seeing.

Watching Traevon is like watching Knight. Hits a big shot every now and then but leaves you frustrated for the most part.

So many missed shots, if they could get half these shots to drop this would be a 20+ point lead.

Yep, same issue for both as well. They think they are better than they are so they try to do too much, when really they both have the talent to be more than useful players if they played within themselves for the majority of the time.

Might be heading that way shortly

Yeah, seems like it might be headed that way.
