Georgetown Post Game Thread

Well played game.
Instead of going into slow down mode for last 5-6 minutes of the game, it was nice to see the offense running its sets to the final buzzer. The lead opened up more and the players looked more comfortable playing that style. A killer style finish that has been lacking this year.

Great win. We scored some points. Which has to be good for their confidence. 20 and 10 from Reed is big for us. Needs to play. And we need to dump the ball into him. AK is at his best when he isn't the focus.

Got to get better on D. Defending dribble penetration. Finding the open player when we hedge at the top. And got to secure the ball better with our own dribble.

Need to drop the high hedge. They scored nearly every time with this move by our centers.

The bounce pass to Reed was on the money too. His two shots were ugly, and he still struggled a bit with ball pressure, but it wasn’t bad enough for him to not see the floor again.

He needs to see the floor when it makes sense. Up 15 with 3 minutes to go, he’s gotta be in there. Diarra is banged up and no one else can play point. It just doesn’t make sense not to give him a crash course. This really seems like a misjudgment by Hurley to me. We can barely get the ball past half court against really good teams. He’s gotta be ready to go. I want to have a surprise run.
 
We being being down by about 10 and coming back is monumental this season. If we can take down Marquette and do ok in the BET we should be able to improve our seeding in the Big Dancel….Providence has istorivally been a hemroid.
 
START TARRIS REED.
GIVE HIM THE BALL.

Great shooting from Solo and Liam. Karaban was 1-5 from three but his 1 was the dagger. The only ones that matter are the last one and the next one

Choosing to ignore the first 10 minutes because I want to enjoy this one. Let’s go Huskies!
 
Feed Reed! Obviously without Sorber Georgetown had nobody to check him inside.

Is Diarra's knee better? Best he's looked in a long time.

Beat them on the boards 35-18. Is that a + high for the season?

The defense though....Unfortunately I don't think that's getting fixed this year. Better be for next year though. Can't have another year of defense this bad.

I hope if you bet on UConn you got in at 13.5 before it went to -14.5. I kept saying the last few minutes that UConn was going to win by 14 just because you know it always happens that way. I laughed when Georgetown scored on that break away with 20 seconds left.
 
People really thought we played well? I guess we did the last 9 minutes of the game but I thought we were really bad up until then. Georgetown didn't have Sorber or their 6th man for the game and Fielder fouled out pretty early in the second half. We were a sieve on defense, AK was a ghost again until garbage time. Tarris was really good and Solo was good but that wasn't a good effort from the rest of them through 31 minutes at home against a Georgetown team with basically 5 players.
 
Get Tarris up to speed on defense in the off season and we have something.

Well enough to cover the spread. Can't remember the last time they did recently.

Play Reed a lot. Play Nowell more. Try Mahaney as a Joey C type SG to spell Ball. We need depth and ball handling.

How on earth could you watch that game and ask to play Nowell more. He was abused on defense, blown by and shot over. He showed almost no offensive ability, had a couple of decent assists and was weak with the basketball.

It almost insane to think that we will get anything more from him with more minutes.

We covered, but still managed to hurt our KP Drtg - dropped from 99 to 110. Ortg only went from 15 to 14.

I thought Hurley was smart to play starters and cover as those little things count on Selection Sunday, but letting G'town score more than 70 in our place was not good for the resume.

Offense looked great, defense looked terrible. Fortunately we scored almost every time down the floor in second half.

Man to man defense with the big man doing the high hedge just not working for this team. You can’t play man to man defense when 4 guys on the floor can’t guard the man they are defending one on one. Every game they roll out the same defense, no scheme changes and it doesn’t work. I understand it worked great the past 2 years but not with this personnel.
Don’t understand why Hurley doesn’t try something else … 2 shot blockers in game at same time or trapping press, or 2-3 zone.. anything… it can’t be worse.
