| What the Hoyas Will Miss | Since Vernon will be transferring this summer, the Hoyas are going to miss his big body presence and his athleticism. Without Roy in the paint, Macklin could have been a key part of a new up-tempo team. |
Sophomore forward Vernon Macklin will not be returning for his junior year at the hilltop according to a Georgetown Basketball press release. We talked about transfers a few weeks ago, and it looks like we’ll have to add Macklin’s name to that list.
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.
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.

Georgetown:
The Hoyas utterly dominated the game in all aspects. The smothering defense kept St. John’s without a field goal for most of the first half, while the overpowering offense started the game on a 27-3 run. Even without perma-starter DaJuan Summers in the lineup, the Hoyas cruised to their easiest victory of the year.

I don’t think it can be considered a bright spot, since there is no brightness after a loss, but Vernon Macklin played very well against Pittsburgh. He won’t go 5 for 5 every game from here on out, but for a guy who had been struggling to score lately, he looked like he was playing with confidence.

Georgetown:
No one shot the ball well from distance, as the Hoyas finished the game 3-20 from beyond the arc. Georgetown was also sloppy on the defensive end, getting badly outrebounded and giving up a number of easy baskets and uncontested threes. They will have to work to clean that up before facing the Notre Dame tandem of big man Luke Harangody and shooter Kyle McAlarney.
