Georgetown game thread

Great hustle play by Anderson.

+10

I like them putting Taylor in here I think he offers a lot against GU.

How's the crowd look?  No panorama of the BC on ESPN3 yet...

Junior has been absolutely abysmal so far.

[The Process]

Jake Thomas, meet bench.

[mileskishnish72]

Ah, Junior.

[rocky_warrior]

Ah, Junior.

Not completely his fault (could have easily been called a foul), but we need to at least get a shot up there!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

What a crapty finish.  

[forgetful]

Ah, Junior.

That one isn't on Junior, Blue should have gave that ball up early.  He had a lane if he used the pick correctly.  Instead he dribbled around for 5 seconds and gave it back to Junior, who was double teamed 30 ft from the hoop with 3 seconds on the shot clock.

Junior is the only reason Georgetown is even in this game. What an awful display. And Jamil hasn't been any better.

[nyg]

MU has missed 9 shots within 3 feet of basket, whether a reverse layup, drive or whatever.

On 6 occasions it has gone down with one second left on clock to shoot and MU made two prayer threes.  That last possession was just terrible. Blame on Blue and Junior here. 

Bad Junior in first half, very bad.

Junior is the only reason Georgetown is even in this game. What an awful display.

Junior would have at least 4 more assists if the other guys would finish easy layups.  The bad plays by Junior result from players not going to where they are supposed to be when he has driven the lane.  He ends up too deep and has to shoot.

I don't think many people on here understand the pg position much.  If the other guys don't do what they are suppose to you end up looking bad.

Jamil too often looks to pass.  Does not often enough look to shoot.

Gardner has been completely absent.  He is getting dominated down low and has given up some points (including the last 3) by not being active on D.

Granted, the zone is making it difficult for him.

He did shoot 0-for-6 in the half and was out of control on at least half of those shots.

I'll take a different and more optimistic outlook....I think MU is playing pretty well.  GU is ranked 15th for a reason and their defense is smothering.  The fact we are getting decent shots (for the most part....some are heaves as shot clock winds down, granted) is very encouraging.  GU is long so even seemingly easy shots are more contested than usual.   Start making more of those and we should be fine.  Lets also give some props to OUR defense today.  Outstanding.   Vander is playing like the best player on the court and Lockett looks strong today too.   Juan is a hustle machine and Gardner will get it going.

Looking forward to a great second half (and Jake....when does the hot part of the streak shooting occur?)

A game like this makes we wince all over again thinking of how close we were on D'Angelo.

Yes, 2 were long 3's at the end of the shot clock.  One where the outlet pass guy ran the wrong way.  2 drives to initiate contact and draw fouls.  And one wide open baseline jumper that just missed.

When he has been out the offense has been incredibly stagnant.  People make wide open lay-ups and he's has 7 assists at the half.

I agree, I think we are playing well.  Need to make the shots.  Our D with about only 3 exceptions has been unbelievable.

Lockett!!!!!

[MarsupialMadness]

Lockett!!!!!

Whoa. Where has that been!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Antone notice how CO sealed for Lockett!?!

[AZWarrior]

Antone notice how CO sealed for Lockett!?!

Yes, I did!  Nice call.   

[Da 'Lanche]

Okay...that was an ugly turnover by junior...sheesh

[forgetful]

Wow we went from looking like an NBA team to a YMCA youth league game in about 10 seconds.
