Georgetown Is Not Good

[Lennys Tap]

Yeah.  These threads are working well.  2 for 2 so far.  Any other teams we want to try this with only to lose by double digits to?  I think we have one for St John's already...

Sad truth is that the OP is right - Georgetown is not good. A little better than us maybe but not good.

We'll see about that.

This post was started when they were 6 and 5 after losing to Monmouth and UNC-Ashevlle at home!

I guess we supposed to ignore horrific losses and just see the word 'Georgetown" and think "good."

Actually, we should take it for what they are, early season losses and teams can get better.

I am trying to figure out how GT lost those games. They are so physically tough, and their bigs have talent. Govan reminded me of a slightly slimmer Davante -- even shoots FTs in the 90% range!

I was most impressed with DSR. Very in control. Willing to be the passer and focus on getting his teammates going almost all game. But then when GT needed him to step up and make big shots, he did. That is how a college 2 can show the NBA he can play 1.

This was the first time I've seen more than a couple minutes of GT this season and I'm still scratchin' my head about how they possibly lost to UNC-Asheville, etc.

We play to the level of our opponents. We basically showed no energy or desire in our losses. If we come to play we can compete with the best teams in the country. If we mail it in we can lose to anyone. Luckily no more cupcakes on the schedule to mail it in against. Georgetown is still a good team and will win a lot of games the rest of the way.

This thread is accurate. Georgetown is not good. Sadly, right now, neither are we. Hoyas had zero offensive execution in the second half. If not for our woeful, predictable offense we would have beat them comfortably after facing a 19 point deficit.

Instead, we put Luke on an island without an outlet, missed a ton of no-footers and free throws, and took ill-advised three balls. DSR bailed them out of a game they had no right allowing to be competitive.
