Georgetown's offense seemed lackluster to say the least. Green is the guy who got them here and he was nowhere to be found most of the game. I couldn't figure out why GT didn't foul sooner. You Are playing for a chance at a national title and you watch the clock run down? The charge and block against Green late seemed to seal GT's fate. I was amazed at what seemed to be a lack of energy. Unfortunately, I felt the same way 4 years ago.
Actually, Green had the ball at the top of the key possession after possession and did not take a trey. He killed MU with that.. What he fu..? That shot is his forte', why not take it..??
I blame Green.
He did the same thing for 3/4 of the game against UNC. Too unselfish. How good did Hibbert during his time @ Georgetown? He couldn't even run when he first got there.

Yeah, I read that article too. I saw elswhere that he couldn't chew gum and walk at the same time.
I blame Green also. He has potential to be the best player on the floor every time he plays. He simply didn't play aggressively enough tonight, as has been the case several times throughout his career. (Dominc James if you're reading this, pay attention) - Gonna be a great pro though.
On a side note, I don't care how that game turned out, Hibbert hasd to be the most underappreciated player in college ball this year. Oden gets the headlines, but Hibbert seems to dominate every game he plays.
How about Conley? That kid is a stud. It is nice watching him hit big shots, run the offense and get to the basket. A lot of that seems to be because of his team's spacing on the floor.
Also, I cannot believe UCLA is in this game at half. They are incompetent of O. However, their D is so good.
It seems like MU's slide coincided with some major defensive lapses. If you play great D you can stay in most games.
I blame Tom Crean
Out of sight, out of mind.
It really seemed like FL extended backcourt defense beyond 3 line because they had backup low post players. It's all t'd fornever!
I blame Matta-----Green was a marked man----when he had the ball on the perimeter he was forced out 22-23 feet when he accepted it-----then too when he did get the balll on the perimeter OSU had off the ball defenders sagging on either side of him-----his choices were therefore limited as he was too far out for a high percentage trey, and couldn't take it to the hole because of the off the ball defensive help on him.
What he could have done more of is attempt the drive with one dribble and dished out for the trey----that was wide open all night and GT has very good trey shotters to dish too! Had 3 assists as it was------also 12 rebs.
