Half of the of the already sparse student section bailed at halftime. We had some good UConn chants but I’m not sure if they came across on TV. This was a neutral court environment at worst: Hurley with a nice acknowledgement of the traveling support on his way out. AD Dave spent 20 minutes talking with some of us. Nothing earth-shattering but some interesting tidbits. Appreciate that he took the time.

Did he say that we're going to the B1G?

They were indecisive about who would get a triple-double, and as a result, neither did. Hoping they figure it out.

Then again, the team moves to 3-0 at full strength. Nine deep, but Stewart & Ball stalled at 9 minutes apiece.

Room for improvement on Wednesday, with both teams working on impressive game streaks.
 
After the game in Hartford I thought Georgetown would continue to get better and the return game in D.C. would be a pain, I was wrong, they look to be getting worse. The number of easy looks inside where Georgetown got lost was embarrassing.

They took the 2nd half off. Dan took way too long to let them know it. It’s on the fix list now.

Another thing on the fix list is Newton making 3s. He hasn't made 1 in the last 4 games if I recall correctly

They seem to play better on the road than at home

Heard the UConn faithful loud and clear on TV
 
I actually thought there would be a letdown today and a close game, plus Alex being injured but we are loaded with talented players and a motivating coach.

Went to the game today. Felt a bit like a high end scrimmage during the first half. Gotta say, the Georgetown fanbase could not be more demoralized. It's just been a complete collapse to the abyss of the hoop's world. I think it's been a genuine shock to them. They barely showed up. A few in person thoughts

1. Newton was banged up but i actually loved his game today. He should never force it. He can get into the lane and throw up those semi-wild shots whenever he wants. He had 9 dimes today and just 3 shots. But i was very pleased.
2. Alex's communication on defense is underappreciated. He's basically a maestro out there directing all guys. They also obviously practiced on bounds plays from their opponents baseline because they had that corner three covered every time (after giving them up to Butler).
3. Clingan just changes everything. Nothing more to say.
4. Dan Hurley is really psychotic. The time out with 6.5 mins left in the 2nd half, up 25 was wild. He was captured in the huddle yelling at them. I don't know if folks saw that for about 10 seconds prior he was about 10 feet away from the huddle glaring in their direction. It was crazy. I love him.

But, honestly, there isn't much to take from this game because Georgetown is just in a really sad state.

He had every reason to be yelling at them at that point.

Clingan practiced a ton of FTs during warm-ups, and made more than his usual %. In game, he made his 1st 2 and it was downhill from there.
 
In the context of Providence, Ed Cooley was a great coach. PC had 7 tournament appearances in the 30 years before he got there. He brought them to 7 tournament appearances in his 12 years there (could have been 8 in 2020) including their S16 as the hometown hero

But he left for an out of town higher profile job (with high profile pay), so now the expectations will be higher. If he replicates his PC success at GTown, it will be considered a failure. That's just the difference between the Georgetown brand and the Providence brand

He'll figure it out at Georgetown with some time, but it's really fun to beat down on them in the meantime
 
I love when they showed the stat that UConn leads the all-time series by 1 game (now 2). They should've compared the first 10 or 20 years to the last 20 years. The picture is a little different. :)

“UConn won’t win because number 1 never wins”. They all seemed in agreement. But scared at the same time. I said god must be a UConn fan or something these days. They didn’t like that lol. Cant wait to take it to them Georgetown fans. They just think they suck. Probably true. I don’t think UConn needed their best effort today. Was a Bachmans turner overdrive kinda game if you know what I’m saying

If Ed Cooley is such a good coach, why do we seem to spend so much time arguing about it? Shouldn’t it be obvious if someone is good? It isn’t.
Expand ...
It’s because he’s friends with the media and some fans buy into narratives easily. He was good for a providence level program, he did nothing that warranted a Georgetown level promotion.

I find that very surprising.................





Your claim that Georgetown has fans.
