Johnny’s Villanova Postgame Thoughts

By Johnny

Teams

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.

Mike’s Seton Hall Postgame Thoughts

By Mike

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas showed what it takes to win down the stretch, turning a five point game with under seven minutes left into an eighteen point blow-out five minutes later, led in large part by a strong performance from Patrick Ewing Jr. The only glaring problem with Georgetown’s play on Saturday was the season high 21 turnovers. The Hoyas have a history of struggling against full-court pressure, and although they limited the turnovers in the second half, two more came off the press near the end of the game. Had it been an eight point game instead of 18, I hope the Hoyas would have been a bit more careful with the ball.

Mike’s West Virginia Postgame Thoughts

By Mike

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas pulled out another win in dramatic style. It seems as though all the pieces are not yet in place, as the team can still go stretches with limited offensive production. But, for the third time in the Big East season, the team has been able to dig down and get scores when it matters most, and this time they have another hard-earned road win to show for their efforts.

Mike’s Syracuse Postgame Thoughts

By Mike

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas gritted this one out. The game was similar in many respects to the UCONN game. Georgetown trailed by two possessions late in the game, this time with under two minutes to play, and still managed to get the points on the offensive end and the stops on the defensive end to win it. A very good team effort.

Johnny’s Ball State Postgame Thoughts

By Johnny

Teams

GU:
Not too great a performance for the Hoyas, especially in the 2nd half, but a win is a win. A lot of those shots will fall in a different game, so I think the bigger issue is the free throw shooting. The Hoyas went 8 for 17 from the line and are only hitting 55% of their free throws on the season. That’s something that definitely needs to be worked on before they reach the tough conference schedule.

Johnny’s William and Mary Postgame Thoughts

By Johnny

Teams

GU:
I thought that this was a pretty solid season opener for the Hoyas. Thompson-coached teams don’t usually have very impressive beginnings to their seasons, maybe due to the complexity of learning the system and getting used to the style of play. That being said, it was a comfortable victory for the boys in Gray, and it gave the younger players a good opportunity to get some game time against real opponents.
