Just saw what happened at Providence. I hope Desi Rodriguez is fine. I'd hate to see a player like him lose the rest of his season like that

Tale of two halves. In the first half:
1.18 points per possession allowed (not awful but somewhat bad) vs. 1.12 points scored per possession (okay on the road)
In the second half:
0.95 points per possession allowed (very well done) vs. 1.41 points scored per possession without much help from Trevon (holy shit)
Since I was bragging to my brother at the game how it seems Q is shooting over 50% from 3 the last month and a half, I looked it up. He was 1-15 OOC, started BE play 0-4, and has been 16-30 since. Probably the greatest extended turnaround I have ever seen. He went from 5% to >50%.
It was honestly kinda rough watching him in the 2nd half. Reminded me of a scene in American Dad where the son trips and falls on the stairs and the dad laughs and says, "he's so bad with his body"...Naji is not good with his body. My brother, who doesn't watch a lot of basketball at all, kept wondering why he was in, until he hit the 3 to put X up 14. He was still astonished when I told him Naji was the leading scorer.
The following sequence was a textbook SWEEP THE LEG!

X from +6 to + 14 in 73 seconds. Game over, man.
X seems to do to Georgetown what Villanova does to X. X just has their number for the most part.
