Why isn't Thompson on the hot seat?

Keep in mind we're not taking where they are now--we're talking about where they would be if they lose the next two games.

The scenario would really be new ground.  There really hasn't been a team with a high RPI that would have done as much as Georgetown has since Feb. 1 to prove they don't belong.


Repeat after me....its the total body of work.........

Which in Georgetown's case under my scenario would include a 4-8 record in the last 12 -- including six losses in the last seven games and two very bad losses in that stretch.

I think that the committee would be hard pressed to ignore the body of work and rely solely on a high RPI earned in December and January.  

The committee is known to give extra weight to the end of the season.  If they lose their next two, the last 12 games Georgetown will have a 4-8 record--which is about as close to proving you don't deserve a bid as you can get.

If you'd be comfortable on selection day with that body of work, then we disagree.  

I think they can still play their way out.  They need one more win.

Despite the presence of the final 12 games in my link above, I believe they are either eliminating or heavily de-emphasizing that criterion this year, due to unbalanced conference schedules.

I can see them not playing because I think Cincin will pull out against Villanova and be extra motivated for Georgetown.  I think USF's last two games are weak and are wins.  If that happens, Georgetown would be 10th in the Big East and I just can't see any Big East team at 9 and 9 as a lock.  

And my point is that last season was a huge disappointment and this season could be too.  But I feel like they should be better with the talent they get.  That's all.  I forgot about the Final Four run and I think that is the answer to my topic question.

This is a funny to read after tonight's debacle.

Yep. With all that size and talent, when GT is firing on all cylinders, they are a scary team. They've been inconsistent. But we certainly caught them on an upswing. Total demolition job by Monroe & Co.

This post was humorous from day one.  Read below from G-Town's athletics page:

Entering his sixth season as the head coach, John Thompson III has added new chapters to the rich history of Georgetown men's basketball.

Since arriving on the Hilltop, the Hoyas have advanced to one Final Four (2007), won a BIG EAST Tournament title (2007), won back-to-back BIG EAST Regular Season titles (2006-07, 2007-08), reached three-straight NCAA Tournaments (2006-08) and been invited to the National Invitation Tournament twice (2005, 2009).

During that time, Georgetown has been ranked among the top-25 teams in the country for 38-straight weeks and is among the winningest programs in the BIG EAST during that time. In addition, in the last three years, more Georgetown players (4) have been selected in the NBA Draft than any other school in the BIG EAST Conference.

Wow just found this thread. Lol What a joke. Not going to even bother to defend JTIII. Anyone who questions him is an idiot.
