Big East Tournament Thread

I know it isn't a big ask but I hope our fans in attendance act a little extra arrogant and spoiled in his honor.

If you’re there with an infant, be careful

Georgetown out rebounded DePaul 40 to 25 and just annihilated Nova 42 to 19. Held both teams under 38% shooting.
Played you tough twice already.


Better Bring the A game……

How long before PC announces English is gone? Before the bus reaches Providence? Some time later today after the bus stops in Providence? First thing tomorrow morning? The announcement has already been written so you know it's not going past then.

English talked about it in his press conference after the game with Vaaks sitting next to him.

Abraham is the most impressive looking non impressive basketball player in the BE. He plays so mechanical.

Gtown could be very good next year if they can get Lewis back. I’d move off Mack even though he has a year left.

He did his job tonight defensively. Sometimes guys just play a role really well and that’s what he brings to Georgetown. He was a big part in keeping Lewis in check and I assume he’ll probably get assigned Mullins/Ball. Whichever player they feel like needs the assignment the most.

Him and Mulready being on the court together can cause a lot of trouble for those two potentially. If they have the guts to go with JWill, Mulready, and Abraham together over stretches they match up well defensively with our perimeter group.

Georgetown is going to be very tough.

When UConn is on defense they are going to have to "draw a line" and guard with attitude. I can see Cooley having his players hunt for mismatches and play 1-on-1. The other thing Georgetown did really well tonight, and I can see Cooley doing a lot tomorrow, is the pick and roll and pick and pop with either Jeremiah Williams or Caleb Williams with Julius Halifinua. Julius was hitting that 10-15 foot shot with high efficiency.

Villanova honestly even with Hodge looks/plays like a bubble team, only one win against the tourney field back in December. And yet strangely enough, all their metrics imply a 7-8 seed.

It’s honestly something he could’ve been doing all year but he just never took the shot. He has beautiful mechanics on his jumpshot.

Mulready looks much better than he did early in the year. IIRC he had UConn on his final list, no? Then he committed to PC and moved with Cooley?

Despite beating GTown twice this year-Total margin of victory between those two games was only 6 points. They will be playing loose and with house money tonight. Can be a dangerous team. Have to have strong bench play-hit the boards and play tough D. Will need Demary and Braylon to be efficient at the offensive end(along with other starters) and have another double=double from Tarris. All doable-play with focus and protect the ball.

Second win of a three win business trip. Hurley is 12-0 vs Georgetwon. Let's dominate and grab win 13.
