I’m sorry this is so late, but I have been pretty upset and tired from my road trip to Raleigh. I’ll fill you in on some of the details of that trip later on, but in the meantime, here are my postgame thoughts.

Teams

Georgetown:
Georgetown played as good of a game as they’ve put together this season, and unfortunately, they ended up on the losing end. There were probably too many unforced turnovers, too many offensive fouls, and too little rebounding at the beginning of the second half, but other than that, there was not too much to complain about on the Hoyas’ end.

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas used their smothering defense and efficient offense for a relatively easy win over their neighbors to the north. They held UMBC to only 32% from the field, while shooting 51% themselves. This has been the recipe for success for the Hoyas, and if they do it again, another Sweet Sixteen banner will hang from McDonough.

Georgetown:
The biggest problem for the Hoyas in this game was rebounding. They allowed Pittsburgh to get 18 offensive rebounds, and even when they didn’t lead to second-chance points, it made the Hoyas exert themselves on defense, which in turn made the offense struggle.

Georgetown:
The Hoyas continue to show their ability to win in different ways. Against Villanova, the team got no offensive production from Roy Hibbert, but used a three-point barrage to coast to victory. In this game, Georgetown used a revitalized Hibbert to pound West Virginia inside. They also continued their stellar defense, holding the Mountaineer’s hot hand Joe Alexander to just 12 points on 5-16 shooting.

Georgetown:
Georgetown came out firing on all cylinders, as it seems that the extra day of rest had them more motivated and energized for the game. The Hoyas hit ten first half three pointers, and ended up going 17-28 from downtown. When Georgetown starts out shooting well from outside, they are tough to beat. When they start out shooting unreasonably well, like they did yesterday against Villanova, they are almost impossible to stop.

Georgetown:
As they have done time and again season, the Hoyas pulled out another close victory. The win makes Georgetown back-to-back regular season Big East Champions for the first time in school history, and what better way to do it than on the defensive end. The nation’s leader in defensive field goal percentage held Louisville to 36.4% from the field in the first half, and a frigid 22% from beyond the arc in the game. And after Jeremiah Rivers added to the drama by missing the front end of a one-and-one, the Hoyas came up with one more big stop on defense, forcing Louisville to take and miss two contested three pointers.

Georgetown:
It was quite a scenario heading into the final road game of the year for the Hoyas. A victory would put the Hoyas one home victory away from back to back Big East regular season titles, but a loss would drop them into a 3-way tie for second place. Georgetown trailed by double figures midway through the half when they finally regained focus and got in a good rhythm on both ends of the court.

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas played uninspired basketball for nearly three-fourths of the game, but still managed a relatively easy victory. Turnovers and missed lay-ups hurt Georgetown and let St. John’s stay in the game. But, the Hoyas committed only one turnover over 10 minutes during a critical second half stretch to turn a tie game into a 13 point lead.

Georgetown:
This game was just what the doctor ordered for Georgetown. After four closely contested games, the Hoyas had a relatively easy time with the Bearcats. It looked as though it might be another nail-biter, as Cincinnati cut the Georgetown’s lead to five a minute into the second half, but then the Hoyas pulled away thanks to a 16-4 run and coasted to a 20 point victory. With every game of maximal importance in the race for the Big East title, the Hoyas surely enjoyed the stress-free victory.

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas needed a road win, and they got it. Things started looking bad for the Boys in Blue when Providence took a six point lead early in the second half. But the Hoyas hung tough and methodically pulled away, led by their sharp shooting and their defense. It is especially good to see Georgetown hitting from downtown, as we know what can happen when the shots don’t fall.
