Georgetown came ready to play today. You can tell they wanted to spoil our NCAA hopes. Coach Cooley will have that program back at the top before you know it. Despite terrible FT% and some moments of bad decisions with the ball, they closed out! We lose this game by 12 pts 1 month ago.

We are one win away from dancing!

They are in already.
 
Sloppy game but got the W and that’s ultimately all that matters. Stopped by 114 and got to see MJ and meet a bunch of 114ers and other posters - great fun and putting faces (and real names) to handles. Hope to see more of everyone next season

We definitely need to win one to stay out of the “first four” and really sweat it out, so let’s kick the crap out of whoever we play and let all of us spend our time guessing our seed and opponent, not if!

On way back to the game after some delicious Korean BBQ. Only things to add from me:

— Atmosphere was awesome. The crowd was dying to get into this game, but stupid plays + Georgetown shots kept us out of it. But I was impressed by the energy. It was a lot of fun (too much, I’d say). Hoya fans deserve credit for showing up too.
— Luis showed his potential today. He’s done this other games too, but you can argue he carried us the second half. I really hope he stays. I think one more full year under Rick can make him more under control and see his teammates more on offense.
— BEAST said it but Ledlum is unsung hero of game. Brilliant effort. One of these ivy guys have to be smart enough to sue the ncaa for that additional year of eligibility, sign me up asap for Ledlum.

One pessimistic note I’ll say. I’m afraid Marillac may be right, in that we (including me) have read too much into this streak. We are the same team as the beginning of the season. In this streak, we struggled the most versus Georgetown. Why? Because they’re the most athletic compared to Creighton, butler and DePaul. I’m nervous that this streak overshadowed our clear deficiencies, and we will be let down next week. Can you tell I’m a Mets fan yet?

Also thank you to Rick Pitino for making the Johnnies the best value ticket in town. Knicks games are obnoxiously expensive. Can’t wait to get season tickets next year.

On the Gtown piece, I don't know how many SJU/Gtown Garden games I've been to (too many to count), but I thought this was the lightest Georgetown crowd I've seen. Maybe it was where I was sitting, or maybe they just aren't loud at all because of the team, but didn't seem like they had as many as the past. From my experience attending games this year, beyond the obvious (Uconn), the only other group I felt ever had a presence was Providence. They were quiet as a mouse in the first half of that game because we were killing them, but got loud a few times in the second half of that game when Prov went on big runs. The others not much at all.

Why would GT alums come out when they have sucked for a long time?

They were quiet but there was a ton of grey in the 200s above their bench. I think they got loud once in the first half. I noticed some even on the train. I'd argue it's very hard to get rowdy when your team is 2-18 in conference play. Even we wouldn't know how that is. lol
