Georgetown Post Game Thread - Reed Double Double

During the last minute or so we apparently were trying to get the ball into our best foul shooters. That didn't work so well. Yes, too often our team turns it's back to the player with the ball, that's not what our era was taught. What do we know, we were never 18-1. The husky players ways dribble across the mid court. We do spend a lot of time running down the clock before attempting an offensive play.

AK missing those two FT's was wild.

What? You seriously believe the currently ranked #2 Iowa state loses 2 games this week and that has nothing to do with us moving up to #2?

No, the point is them losing today didn't matter. We were already moving ahead of them after they lost earlier in the week

Iowa State moved out of #2 when they got throttled by Kansas on Tuesday, their loss today had nothing to do with them dropping out of that spot.
 
Nit-pick the obvious! While Reed seems to have found religion v/v FTs. 5 misseed FTs in the crunch-stretch ain't good.

Yes but he said twice this week, which included the first time. You are splitting all the hairs

You’re crazy. If Iowa State won today, there was no guarantee we’d move to #2. Getting beat by Kansas is not the same as getting beat by an unranked 9-9 Georgetown team.

I was at the game. Certainly not as enjoyable as I expected.

We started really well until Silas picked up his 2nd foul. The offense totally bogged down with Malachi at PG. Silas has to stay in the game for the team to be successful.

We gave up way too many O boards, usually resulting in a GU score. No boxing out.

3pt shooting was awful. This is not something new.

Reffing was uneven. GU could get away with clutching, grabbing, bumping with impunity. I'm sure Braylon will be covered in bruises.

Thankfully Tarris shot FTs well or we wouldn't have won if he shot them like he did at SHU. FT shooting down the stretch was uncharacteristically bad, altho I'll give Braylon a pass since the refs iced him.

Glad we came out with the win, but we could never get much separation from GU which just fired up them and their fans.

wouldn't include Smith in that group, botched a fast break today in the first half and he never looks to throw the pass ahead to initiate a break. that's where the 2024 team was so good when they did get out in transition, Tristen and Cam were so good with the outlet passes and passing the ball ahead, the ball sticks in Smith's hands.

Amen!

Not sure if we’re being battle tested or just kinda choke a lot

2 things…

1) Maybe the take that Dan alluded to about the Big East not being that good was not a great move…. I remember Dan said something like how much they win by is important etc. Classic poster board stuff We are on everyone’s radar as the team to beat. Every team looks hyper motivated to beat us!

2) We’re spoiled as fans. We’re 18-1 and whining over how we won LOL. Choking only happens when you lose - that’s my take. A “W” is a “W”

Eh, the Big East is probably the weakest power 5 conference this year, and furthermore, we've played about as weak of a conference slate as is possible so far. (Although as a slight caveat, 5 of the 8 conference games so far have been on the road.)

Still, we are 8-0, and the Georgetown game is the only game that I'd describe as horrible. Maybe you could call the Providence game subpar but not horrible?

It's become somewhat dissappointing the drop off when Malachi comes in. I had thought he would be a change of pace energizer, where lately you can sense Hurley has no patience for him pounding the ball into a bad decision. He's become more of a liability than an asset lately.

Go back and read post #214. This is where this argument started. In that post We are UConn said the following:

Yes, I’m extremely glad we won. This may prevent us from moving to #2 though.

No it won’t. Iowa state just lost its 2nd game this week.

I was saying that because Iowa State lost 2 games this week, there was no chance we wouldn’t move up to #2. We are UConn said he was skeptical we would move to #2 because we eked out the W.

Now if Iowa State did win today, they would have only one loss on the year to Kansas and we’d have 1 loss as well to Kansas. So my question is how do you know that we would have flip flopped in the rankings Monday with Iowa State?
