Georgetown Post Game Thread

Gtown 6 assists on 27 made FG's. Lots of jumpers for Gtown. It's the way they play, and they actually do hit a decent amount consistently, but they don't take or make three's. Offense is not Gtown's problem, in terms of making tough twos.

Shot selection, ball-movement, defense. They are just bad at all three.

Ted Valentine did not ref this game.

Lol. I thought he was the guy yelling at Diarra but he actually looks a bit younger. My apologies (still was terrible officiating there and all game)
 
Joey C became a UConn Legend tonight. He broke the game open.

Credit Georgetown, they played extremely well, but hero ball is hard to sustain for 40 minutes.

Loved seeing Diarra barking at his teammates. This group of 4 transfers is so good collectively. Major props to Coach Hurley for fully utilizing the portal and getting 4 valuable pieces.

I could’ve sworn that was TV Ted who T’d up Dan Hurley

...well before Calcaterra's long 3.

Amazing that old coot knows exactly what's coming right before it happens.

I think he said it that early because it was in reference to being the heat check of all heat checks. But it went in. Wish I had been in the house tonight.

Calcaterra and Diarra changed the game. Really great in-game adjustments from Coach.

We're going to be doing a lot of rebounding drills this week.

Yeah another reminder of how big a piece Samson can be for this team. Karaban in one of his podcast interviews said one of the toughest things about practice is how relentless a rebounder Johnson is. Also, being a pterodactyl helps on the boards too.
 
I know Georgetown's defense is poor but we picked a good night to only have 7 turnovers. Kind of helped make up for the ass-kicking we took on the glass.
 
Rinse and repeat for Georgetown--this has happened literally every game this season. Ewing runs the starters all night and is always surprised they run out of gas. Georgetown finished the game 2 for 16 from the floor.

Patrick Ewing did some bizarre things in this game. Akok Akok was guarding Joey C for long stretches of that game! And why did he wait so long to call a time-out during our second half run??

Yeah and did he not have anybody in to rebound on a one and one?? I was very confused

Do we remember when this board said Coach didn't know how to make in game adjustments and he needed to go?

My, how times have changed.

Sometimes it's the personnel, sometimes it's the coach, sometimes it's both.

On that note, I have to believe Gtown could actually be a decent team this year with a decent coach. They have athletes, can rebound and have some very good shot-makers. They are the inverse of Butler. They play sloppy, have poor shot selection, don't pass and have zero discipline on defense. A good coach could make them respectable. Ewing is not that coach.

As much as I liked the players on UConn the past few years as UConn players, it is pretty clear they did not fit what Hurley wants to do. His lack of adjustments was lack of suitable personnel, which was partially on him at the time, but I do think he pulled out almost as much as he could from those players. And I still maintain, if Hawkins was healthy UConn goes further in the NCAAT last year.
 
Great win. Depth was the key.

The legend of Joey C. grows, the kid was just fantastic. It still surprises me how long Hurley will leave Karaban out there when he's playing poorly. This was the first time this season that I thought we needed Johnson. Major props to Georgetown, they made some tough, tough shots. What a night of two streaks for Hawkins, had that hot streak early, missed everything in the middle, and then ended with some key hoops. It's crazy when you can have two players with the talent level of Hawkins and Sanogo leave the game at the same time, and not worry about a dropoff. That just does not happen.

I think this was the first game where you can say that both of our bigs had good but not great games.

Your team is talented and capable. Maybe the bench players need to earn a bit more of Ewing's confidence.

By the end of the season, the Hoyas will ruin a few teams' records.
