I have been very pleasantly surprised how Jim Harrick has been able to put this team together this early in the season. I could not get to their first game, but they were able to squeek by with a 1/2 point win. Tonight they played a seemingly over-rated Georgetown (ESPN poll--#15) team.

For the halftime players out there, I think the Bulldawgs should be an easy target all year in the second half if you are able to watch their games. I believe that they are very talented but undisciplined. They look like the kind of squad that will continue to fly higher or sink lower in the second based on their first half performance. If they are taking a beating in the first half, I would not look to this team to come storming back after the break. They are too young and without a true leader for the bounceback at this point.

I will continue to follow this team closely for obvious reasons. I will try and give a solid, unbiased approach to their upcoming games.

With their tallest player at 6'8", expect a lot of running and gunning. Not on the same level, but they seem to be a similar team to Arizona. They were a lot of fun to watch tonight because their shots were falling. They go cold, and the entertainment value could equal a thread named "Lock of the Year--Get on it now" getting flamed up to 45 posts on a Saturday afternoon.

Hopefully, I will be able to keep a bead on this team and help the forum out.

The other team I follow (Kentucky) is followed to closely nationwide to have any "close to home" information. I will do what I can with the Bulldawgs!

dawgball, Georgetown is over-rated because they play one bad game in the first two weeks of the season? So i guess Florida, Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, and N Carolina are all over-rated too?

Too early in the season to be saying things like that.

Definitely not wanting to start anything here, but yes the Hoyas did not look like a #15 team. I also stated before the Kentucky-Western Kentucky game that they were slightly over-rated.

Maryland and Florida got beat by now #7 Arizona who has also now beaten Texas. Being beat by Arizona is not the same as being beat by Georgia or Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky would put it on this Georgia team also by the way.

North Carolina is also probably over-rated because of their name. I have not seen Kansas play, so I can honestly comment on their capabilities.

So, no offense meant by my comments. Just trying to provide information for the forum.

I think the dawgs were riding some good emotions going into halftime last night. If they go into the locker room down by a bundle, that is when I think they will have a hard time recovering.

Good luck.

dawgball, no offense taken. I just dont think in college basketball that you can get a good read on any team this early in the season. That is why I dont bet college bball until at least December. That game last night was one of the worst games I have seen Georgetown play in years. They didnt execute the fundamentals of basketball and I am sure coach Esherick will deal with that immediately.
