Is Georgetown a trap game?

This GTown game is absolutely painful. They may win it, but it's hard to watch. They are just bad. Ewing standing around just chewing gum and looking clueless for most of the game. They're at home, and it looks like a Tulane crowd - I doubt there are 1,000 people there. Maybe because the start time was too early, or too late? I really hope they find their way back to Hoya prominance.

I just watched some of it. Painful. God if we lose on Saturday someone better call the police for a well being check on me!

I don't remember an AAC game that was that depressing to watch. How this happened to them, and how Ewing is still there is baffling to me. Based on what you could see on TV coverage, the place was virtually empty. I guess that's what their record does.

Assuming we pull off Saturday with a win is it safe to think we bump up 3-4 spots after a very good and clean top 10 win? With that said is it possible to break the top 10 if we win out?

I think the jump will be bigger, 5-6 spots. Not only was it a top 10 win, but it was seen by the nation. Add that to beating 3 top 40 teams in a row and Marquette before that. I think we get a little respect this week.

And for the sake of our NET ranking, lets beat them by 75.
 
I was asking myself that question earlier this evening...certainly a possibility....
 
If by trap you mean Georgetown keeps the final score within 15 points at the end, than yes. Georgetown is God-awful. 16 losses in a row and counting. I think they are tanking to get Ewing the boot.

100% trap, next game is trap too

save your energy for the BE tournament
 
For me Gtown and Depaul have always been the must win games. The dynamic has changed a bit since beating Nova, but the only way we could of put ourself on the bubble included devastating losses against lousy teams like Gtown and Depaul.

Is it a trap game.... totally. The team could come out with minimal intensity. We kinda won our superbowl on Tuesday. A let down is 100% possible. That said, Gtown really sucks and we seems to matchup well against them.

If you can handle a press, unlike Nova against us, I’m confident in a 20 point win...umm loss.

Everyone who cares about Georgetown is rooting for losses and that should tell our admin that they made a huge mistake with Ewing.
 
I really just wish GTown had beaten Depaul so they could get winning out of the way. They want 1 win in the BE and they will play for pride, to not go 0-20 in the BE. In that sense, it could be tougher than we want, especially on the road.

It is a trap game and they will give UConn all they can handle but ultimately I think UConn pulls it out in the end in a 60-52 type of affair that will leave us both satisfied the 40 minutes is done but also scratching our heads as to how it could be so close and low scoring.
 
I think we win by double digits, trap game indeed but we are so locked in right now I can't imagine stubbing our toe.

The Muhammad kid is going to be a MAJOR get for someone in the transfer portal after Ewing gets fired next month..
 
Hurley said on the Jim Rome show on Wednesday he's going to bring them back to reality in practice this week. I think Dan Hurley is very aware of how this can be a let down spot but he won't let that happen. These kids are hungry for more than a W in February against Nova. We want to be playing through March.

I think if we win out we will have enormous hype surrounding us and a top 10 Poll placement.

That's good because I don't want to see the parallel to the 2006 team. I feel like that the 2006 team peaked when they got their revenge win against Nova and then after that they never matched that level. That home game for the revenge win in 2006 had the same crowd energy and anticipation at Gampel as students camped out in the cold for tickets.
 
Their program is in shambles. Talk of the entire roster transferring out again. But we can’t overlook them. They’ve been playing better as of late and seem to play much better at home. They have some young talent which has gotten marginally better. One game at a time.
 
Less than 2,000 reported at the DePaul game, announced attendance of 4,028. Radio silence from the University, in part, because the men's basketball coach doesn't report through to the athletic director.

Today's story was that a former assistant coach with a familiar name has a role with the program.

Ronny Thompson: The Man Behind the Curtain

Despite not being listed in the Georgetown men's basketball staff directory, Ronny Thompson plays a major role for Georgetown men's basketball. Here's what we learned in conversations with current and former members of the program.

It is not a trap game as the players know how important and hard to win conference road games are. RJ Cole's post game interview showed that our veterans are focused in.

From what you could see on the broadcast, it was abysmal. There could be more UConn fans than GTown fans there Sunday.
 
The hole for Georgetown is pretty deep right now. It's going to take a lot to get them out.

There is no parallel to the 2006 team. That team sucked all year.
 
Just read a story on the game by Associated Press with the following closing line:
"The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar."

Setting the gameday excitement with this breakthrough method of writing, you'll be happy to know Akok Akok leads the Huskies with 46% 3 point shooting. It looks like taking away Akok Akok's 3 point shooting is expected to be pretty important to the outcome of tomorrow's game. Who knew, evidently the Associated Press Robot Writers have a scoop.

What I've learned from this thread is that Georgetown isn't good enough for this to be a trap game, which is exactly why it's a trap game. Hmm.

He must be talking about 2006-2007. That was a rough season after losing so many guys from the season before. Wasn't that Calhoun's only season after 1989-1990 that he didn't take UConn to either the NCAA or NIT Tournaments?
 
They will be playing with desperation. Ewing is a proud man. Historically, I don't like it when UConn plays with a Mutombo on Georgetown. Hopefully we take care of business.
 
Talk about bad mojo. The Courant article on the game tomorrow is mostly about where college basketball media people think the Huskies will be seeded in the NCAA Tournament. Let's concentrate on the game they have tomorrow. Shreyas Laddha with a rookie move.
