Three Pointers

By Hoya Hoops

Before Georgetown snapped its two-game losing streak by beating Louisville 70-60, we at Hoya Hoops asked you to guess how many points the non-Big Three would score. As it turns out, they had a pretty good game, scoring 21 points. That means Julien from France was only one off, with his guess of 22 points. Félicitations!

The Hoyas now return home to take on Notre Dame on Saturday. Historically speaking, the Fighting Irish are a predominantly three-point shooting team, and this year is no exception, as they are first in the Big East in three-point percentage at 41.5%, and also have the most makes of any conference team. Georgetown is not too shabby from beyond the arc, either.

How many three pointers will the Hoyas make, and who will have the most?

We think Georgetown will start with its inside game, but that should open up the perimeter. We are saying 10 three’s, led by Austin Freeman. Put your predictions in the comments. Bonne chance!

   9 led by Jason CLark … didn’t he use to make threes last year and before Big East play this year? What happened? Anyway, GO HOYAS …no room for mistakes. And JTIII PLEASE give Henry Sims a break. Hollis and Benimon can throw airballs, pass outside when they are all alone under the basket, telegraph passes on the JUMBOTRON to the other team and they are getting “major” bench minutes. Henry looks the wrong way for 2 seconds or loses someone on a screen and its 45 seconds max and benched the rest ofthe game. Henry has great potential which he will reach somewhere else if you don’t let him develop in real game situations. I for one think it’s very unfair never to play him and expect a miracle trying to beat Syracuse.
