I was at the last game at the Verizon Center and Greg Monroe lit us up the first half and then for some stupid reason Georgetown got away from feeding him the ball.

I can ASSURE you that he is the guy they are going to tomorrow.  No way they can watch film of that game and not notice how much they feed him the ball first half and how big of a butt kicking they put on us.  I think they were up 13 at one point.  We straight up couldn't stop him and then in the second half he picked up a bunch of cheap fouls.

Anyways - I know Austin Freeman is going to get big time press, but Greg Monroe is our killer in the middle.  Best Big Man we see all year.

Go Bulls.

Monroe is a handful.

He gets in foul trouble easily, and they have no one behind him that can do anything. Attack Attack Attack.

Georgetown doesn't have much depth. Monroe was pretty much neutered in the first game after he picked up his third foul. He stopped being aggressive and the game changed completely.

This is true. The problem Monroe present is that he's a good passer so we can't just all out double team him like we did the DePaul big man today. Famous will probably get most of the assignment on Monroe so we know he'll have no resistance. We will need a big game from Gilchrist tomorrow to help offset the damage Monroe will do.

Alex Rivas did the best job of defending Monroe the first time because he had the freedom to play aggressively. I mean who the hell cares if he fouls out in the process. But if Famous or Fitzpatrick had fouled out (remember, this was when Gus was still out) we would have been screwed.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
