It’s like a disease

[Jaker]

I didn't realize JT had passed away.

 

[UCFan1513]

Have you been watching them play?

I was very wrong - I’ll eat that

 

[CONN78SEJ]

I said that Patrick Ewing should have been considered for COY. Great job. Congrats but UConn will be crowned tomorrow night

Great call. Let me know what your stock tips are, I’m always looking for a solid short.

Where did this Georgetown come from? Shades of 2011 UConn.

Congrats to Gtown and Coach Patrick Ewing
What an amazing run - not quite at the 2011 UConn level but still amazing
Hopefully they stole one slot from Cuse
Ewing has a nice class coming in next year - it should be fun - Sanogo vs Wahab

This thread is not aging well.....it needs to go.

 

[Bomber36]

Absolutely insane! 25 points? i don’t see how anyone except G-town saw that one coming. I’m flabbergasted.

Maybe the hottest run in history by an underdog in the BET?

4 wins in 4 days

Congrats to GTown what a run. And more congrats to the freshman Harris for MVP of the tourney well done.

Patrick Ewing just won the BET and you are criticizing the OP for saying he is a good coach? How many major conference teams with losing records going in have won their conference tournaments? Ewing did an amazing job.

Um.....no, not criticizing him for saying Ewing is a great coach. PE was a great college and pro player and is a great coach. Was criticizing the OP for his uncanny prediction.

Congrats to you on the mush. Most predictable thing in the world.

Imagine how good Gtown would have been if akinjo and Mcclung didn’t defect. Guard play was their issue all year. They would have been a top 15 team with those guys this year.

 

[MexicoHusky]

What the..... Creighton. They win the game that was supposed to be the championship then get absolutely rolled in the finals. How?

the chemistry between the two was awful.

Our performance last year prior to the defections was pretty atrocious. And that team had great talent between Akinjo/Mac/Leblanc/Yurtseven/Gardner/Allen/Pickett/Blair/MoselyPlus a younger Wahab.

Ten legit power conference players and we sucked. pat’s turnaround as a coach is awesome. I look at a kid like Harris, ranked in the 400s winning the MOP at the BET and I’m so much happier with him than mackinjo.

Looks like Creighton used up all the mojo last night against us. Good for Georgetown though if they take a slot away from the nose picker.

Harris is a case study for those on this board who obsess about recruit ranking. DH said something to him after the last Georgetown game because of how well he played.
We need to recruit Georgia because there's a number of Ricky Moore and Jeremy Lamb quality players there every year. There must be something in the water in Norcross.

What Georgetown did this weekend has been done before, only better. Let's be honest here, the Big East of 2021 was not the same level of competition as the Big East of 2011.

And I say that as a dedicated conference homer.

Pretty similar situation to the Super Bowl. Replace Britt Reid with some head coach. I didn't watch but I know Creighton's shooting was horrible and they are a good shooting team.

Well the thing is... that Uconn did it better in 2011 obviously. But everyone knew it was a good team and it was ranked in the Top 25. I'm not sure that's a true underdog.

The Big East will be much bigger with a UConn - Georgetown rivalry. Ewing was the perfect choice to fill JT's position. Not many schools get it right on the first try, but GTown did.
