Things are not as bad as they seem for the Hoyas. This will not be a feel good piece about the future of the Hoyas, or an unrealistic assessment of the underachieving team. In all seriousness, things could be worse. Here’s what the Hoyas face right now. They need to do some convincing – specifically they need to convince the selection committee that they deserve an at-large bid. The only way to really make a strong case for that bid is to win out. Period. That will not be easy, but it is a workable task, and it is a pretty reasonable undertaking if you put it in the right context. It’s an analogy that all hoops fans can understand.

Georgetown:
In this critical game for their postseason hopes, the Hoyas started flat, not looking at all focused, turning the ball over and allowing Louisville to jump out to a sizeable first half lead. The team then regained focus and scrapped to get back into the game, but spotting one of the best teams 17 points is not a formula for success. Neither is shooting 31% from the field in the second half.

Following along with Tony’s analogy about last night’s game being a critical home Game 6, I’ve decided to play TNT analyst and provide some end-of-the-season photoshop humor.

It may not be the end of the season yet, and Georgetown can win the Big East Tournament to earn themselves a spot in the Big Dance, but right now, it looks like it’s fishin’ season for the Hoyas.

But when you think about it, the Hoyas winning the Big East Tournament is much more likely than the Hoyas losing 9 out of 11 including to Seton Hall and twice to Cincinnati. So I guess the boys should stick to the gym and away from the Potomac.
