Scouting Georgetown

[Hey Adrien!]

Georgetown: KenPom 155, 6-10

Schedule:

• Lost six straight
• Best win: 79-75 over Syracuse. Second best win: 91-83 over #164 Longwood
• Worst loss: 69-60 to #247 Dartmouth. Second worst loss: 77-74 #156 Saint Joseph
• Strength of schedule is 165th. Best OOC opponents were San Diego State, TCU, Syracuse and South Carolina

Roster Report:

• Overall, slight above average size. Only 20% of the time they play with two guards 6’2 or smaller
• Their most used lineups are a PG, three players between 6’5 190-6’7 215 and one of their bigs
• 50% of the time, their 4 spot is played by Kaiden Rice, a lights out three point shooter, but an awful defender.

Offense: 100th efficiency in KenPom

• 71st in tempo
• 26th in offensive rebounding rate
• 37.8% from three (26th in nation), but just 44.5% from two (325th in nation)
• Their offensive turnover rate is a whopping 20% (253th in nation)
• They do an OK job getting to the line (149th best rate in nation)
• NONE of their bigs are considered offensive threats

Defense: 247th efficiency in KenPom

• Their only metrics in top-100 are block rate (97th) and preventing teams from getting to the line (88th)
• Their are 250th+ in both defensive fg% and turnover rate
• Their best individual defenders are Dante Harris, Donald Carey and Aminu Mohammed.
• Their worst individual defender is probably Kaiden Rice
• Based on these two factors, the forwards, especially whoever is at the 4, should have a hay day.

Don’t mess around, just win.

Hurley has really been emphasizing defensive rebounding lately. Feel like that's going to be key if we're going to have an easy win tonight. Also gonna have to defend the three, since it seems like they have some shooters.

Thanks for the post, love these threads.

Thanks, @MTBingNinja. It's my favorite way to procrastinate at work.

Random question, one that I might have already asked: does "MT" stand for MonTana?

I think this could be a game where Sanogo puts up 25/15 again. Looking for a big game from him inside.

Truly appreciate these scouting reports. I don't get to see enough non UConn games. My not even get to see this game.

'It's not about the talent': Patrick Ewing and the battle to avoid another lost season at Georgetown

Five years in, the school's greatest player has yet to produce an NCAA tournament win as head coach. What has gone wrong, and can he still fix it?

Has some insight into Georgetown. Nothing as good as Hey Adrien! summary.

Longwood is better than Syracuse

And here I thought you had an established career as a Bing Crosby tribute act in Montana.

how do they have such a bad record with 5 guys averaging double figures? Seems odd

80% of the board has no idea who Bing Crosby is

Adjusted defense is 291 in the country. One of the worst in all of major conference basketball.

Yeah, but the 20% who does is quality!

 

[Tenspro2002]

Sounds like we have to close out on shooters and allow more drives at our shot-blockers.

Kaiden Rice guarding Sanogo eek.

But 80% of the women’s board does.

I think he meant David Crosby

 

[NJHusky]

They don’t know who he is either

 

[NJHusky]

Yeah, but the 20% who does is quality!

Or just old.

 

[CL82]

Nah, it’s quality. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it
