There was much speculation before the season began about how good this year’s Georgetown team would be. Many discussed ad nauseum the role Jeff Green played in the Hoyas’ Final Four run last year and wondered how the Hoyas would fill the void. But the consensus was still that the team had the pieces in place to return to the Final Four. The question was: could the Hoyas put all the pieces of the puzzle together?

Georgetown:
The Hoyas started the game fairly well, and as a result, this game was pretty much over four minutes in with the Hoyas up 11-0. The rebounding improved, the free throws improved, and the Boys in Gray weren’t afraid to take it inside, as they relied less on the three yesterday than they had in the past.

Hello, everybody, Mike here. We are about half an hour away from tip-off. Rebounding will be key tonight, let’s see if the Hoyas can improve upon their recent woes and do a good job on the boards.

Before the weekend, we asked how many points would Rutgers score against the Hoyas. DJ said 48 and they only mustered 46, making DJ the winner for the second straight game. Congratulations.
Since rebounding was an issue this past game, this question will see how well Georgetown can adjust against an even better offensive rebounding team:
How many offensive rebounds will DePaul pull down against the Hoyas?
We’re going to go with 16. DePaul is very good at rebounding, but hopefully this past game will act as a wakeup call for the Hoyas, and defensive rebounding will shift from being a point of emphasis to a point of marked improvement.
What do you all think?
