G'town thoughts

[tower912]

1. It wasn't dull.
2.  Can't fault the effort or the offensive execution.
3.  Georgetown practiced their zone offense. 
4.  Duane was huge.   
5.  So was Carlino.
6.  Contributions from lots of places.   Not so much from Steve or Juan.
7.  Good free throw shooting is contagious.
8.  In the end.....   just not enough.

Our backcourt outplayed theirs.  Great games by Matt and Duane, solid game by Derrick.

Our frontcourt got manhandled.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Proud of the effort. Carlino can't try to do it all at the end of close games. Forced too many lay ups.

I told my wife this morning I had another dose of pain coming at 2:30. Can't bitch about the effort, though. Bridge year, as Theo would say.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

We have two high major players plus Luke and Sandy as a hope for the future. Good coaching and a lot of guts from our guys.  No help from the refs and not much more to say.

Literally. Josh Smith committed a foul at one end of the floor every other possession.

It is tough to win when the opponent shoots 88% from the FT line and shoots 32 FTs.

[MattyWarrior]

Same old,same old. STj Non-factor. Anderson shooting clunkers. How many times will they play this hard and lose.
Its obvious talent is lacking.

In your gym.

Is there really no better/alternate view for Carlino's shot in an NBA arena? They found an aerial replay for Duane's 3, but couldn't use it for Carlino's?

I think that is what is most frustrating about the loss.  They let him get away with everything.  Its like they just decided, well he's big he can do what he wants.

I said the same thing

How about their "travel" when the hit the shot to end the first half.  Dickie said- that was not a travel coach wojo.  Anyone see that?  He stutter stepped

[jakeec]

Marquette does not play smart. 

[NersEllenson]

Best game we've played this year.  Sad it had to end the way it did.  Couple tough calls went the other way.

Wojo made a HUGE mistake benching Duane for the 4 minutes from 8 minute to 4 minute mark.  

[Norm]

Literally. Josh Smith committed a foul at one end of the floor every other possession.

The refs let Rivera get away with a ton of fouls too.

Smart enough to force a hot Georgetown team into overtime

[nyg]

Fischer 7 points 4 rebounds 5 blocks
Josh Smith 18 points 14 rebounds.
MU needs a 6ft 10 240 lbs guy that can board, oh wait Henry maybe......

Georgetown 28 for 32 from free throw line, including 56% Hopkins who was 11 for 12.  Ballgame there.

Du Wilson will be very, very dangerous over the next few years.

Bradley Cooper gained 40 pounds for his American Sniper role, Fischer needs to call his trainer.  He has been manhandled in BE play by Stainbrook, Opbekpa, Smith,.... His 5 blocks were great, but otherwise his BE play will improve over the next year.

Juan is Juan, Derrick is Derrick, play hard with determination but just coming up short.

Steve will definitely be on bench next year behind the Ellensons.

The kids need to win one of these close ones before it really gets in their head.  Best game this year, but just not enough.

It was the right call...but by the slimmest of margins. If they had called it a three on the floor, I don't think they would have overturned it. I was hoping that they would give it to us because the replay clearly showed DSR fouling Carlino. Kind of like a Cowboys-Lions type situation

[GGGG]

Proud of the effort. Carlino can't try to do it all at the end of close games. Forced too many lay ups.

Those little floaters by Duane and Matt in OT were good shots.  They just didn't go in.  Defense in the first half was as bad as it has been all year, but JTIII deserves some credit for that.  They were well prepared to face the zone.

Fun game.  Obviously have some work to do, but you can see the future is bright.  

[BCHoopster]

Learned one thing today, Duane Wilson is a a shooting guard, not a point.  Derrick and Juan are just below average major players, they did score a few more today but still hard to play this way and
win, great effort, to bad Carlino's foot was on the line.

[tower912]

Derrick needed to run the point in overtime.   Having Carlino as the primary ball handler was a mistake in that situation.  

[NersEllenson]

Literally. Josh Smith committed a foul at one end of the floor every other possession.

Now you know how our opponents felt the last 4 years with Davante.  Hard to officiate a guy who is so much more physical and strong than everyone else.  Felt there was only one questionable call that didn't go our way with Smith - and that was when he did drop his shoulder into Luke's chest and drop him to the floor in a non-flop.

Not sure about the future, no point next year?

I know that trainer goes by the name H.G.H Steroids.

Yeah they turn the ball over too much.  It has been a problem all year.
