I watched the replay of the UConn/GT game today.

Three quick takeaways:
1) We should dominate them on the boards, they don't team rebound, a lot of their guys just watch the shot after it goes up. I think it's at least +15 differential.

2) While they are not a small team they dont have the height of typical GT teams.

3) Mack is good going to the hole on screens. He dips his shoulder well, it will be interesting to see if he can get into the chest of Wilcher. Would've like to see Smith in this game but it's better he heals up rather than worsen the injury.

There’s gotta be a good story lurking behind your screen name :)

Georgetown when they are good gets a decent showing at the Garden (I am talking post-John Thompson II and Ewing/Mourning). Back in the heyday for them, they attracted lots of fans from all over.

They have a decent amount of Alum in the NYC area, but less than some other schools.

Tomorrow night, I'm thinking 12,000-13,000, with 15% quiet Georgetown fans.

The last game I went to before the pandemic was Georgetown vs. St. John's BET, then the next day we were ahead of Creighton at the half in the quarterfinals, BET ended due to Covid, so technically I say we won the tournament that year.

Anyway, we came back to beat Georgetown the night before (March 11, 2020), all hell broke loose thereafter.

I enjoyed it because of a very loud obnoxious GTown fan next to me, kept giving me the business all night, until we pulled it out. His Georgetown daughter next to him was very polite. [I didn't yet know the 114 crew, or else I might have been with them instead]

Sneakily one of my favorite games of the 2000s. Earlington and LJ were both on fire coming down the stretch. Felt like a 20-0 run to end the game.

Then the NBA shut down on the way home and that was that for a while...

“and Johnnies continue the recruiting of portal 24 year olds.” Unnecessarily snarky, Paultzie, no?
The landscape of college bball has changed. We all pine for freshmen who stayed 4 years and grew with the program. Jeez, Mark Jackson couldn’t start as a freshman. But Rick’s in his 70’s and he has to win NOW!

If my sense of humor bothers you, so be it. No “pining” for anything, just trying for some levity, but thx for the feedback.

The fact is that the BE doesn't have football and so it benefits the NCAA economically to raise the profile of football teams at the expense of the BE. I am 99% sure that's why Mountain West got all their teams in last year over the BE.

Agree, but still hoping the committee has an omelette on their face after last year given the relative success of the conferences last year.
 
I think that their guards are turnover prone. And I agree our size and rebounding should prevail.

The first game for one of my kids. People were starting to get scared of leaving the house, saw ticket prices dropping, and a group of us went in together. Fun game to be at and they all still talk about it.
 
It’s time for Wilcher to step up and hit some shots. Since Big East play has began, his shooting has been awful and many were wide open shots. Luis and Zuby can’t always carry this team, we will need to get some scoring from Wilcher and KR. This G Town back court worries me especially if Smith is out. They are bigger and more physical then Nova inside so I don’t expect RJ to get that many offensive boards many from Wilcher misses.

I did not get Covid at that March 11, 2020 Georgetown game, but yesterday I did for the first time.

Anybody come down with Covid after attending the cancelled 2020 BE Tournament??
