The Official Georgetown Hoyas Basketball Thread

[REDSKINS STOMP]

A lot of talk was that Starks had a great summer. I believe it, he looks like he has hit the weight room and gotten himself in great shape.

Porter had some down moments last night, but he didn't play a totally bad game. He had a poor shooting first half as well. But when we needed it at the end of regulation, he provided.

Looking forward to watching this team play this season.

I deleted that game off my DVR immediately.

Turnovers, fouls, missed shots. We had layups that we blew. Pulled it out with good defense.

The thing that stood out for me is that Mikael Hopkins needs to learn how to finish close to the rim. He blew a few. Plus we are going to need to penetrate the lane cuz we don't exactly have the best jump shooters. Whittington is either on or he isn't. Starks, Porter, and Trawick the same. I'd say Smith-Rivera is our best from beyond the arc. Gotta slash and cut, in the classic Princeton offense.

[REDSKINS STOMP]

The 89 against Longwood showed some improvement.

Not sure what to make of this team at this point of the season.

Marquette is a tough out every year now under Crean / Buzz Williams

They are an elite basketball team in the BE

They frequently give GTown fits and that is true today, 1 pt game with 39 seconds left. Game is on Big East Network / Sports Talk 570

Can't see game but Chvotkin says it's a three point foul

Georgetown down 3


Georgetown fouled and hits 2 out of 3, misses crucial FT that would have tied game. Marquette wins.

[REDSKINS STOMP]

First one to 40 might win this one tonight.

[REDSKINS STOMP]

And that team was Pitt and they did it with ease.

Probably time to worry about this team making the tournament. Right now this could be a big disaster. Team is young, no senior leadership and they have serious problems on offense. This team won't win many in the Big East this year with this kind of play.

Hoyas playing Notre Dame right now on ESPN. Somewhat big game, need to rebound from that poor effort against South Florida. Get back into tournament contention.

Otto Porter starting off sizzling. Need him to step up with Whittington out. Would like to see Starks and Hopkins as well.

[Brian Larkin]

Huge win. Can't believe they went into South Bend, pushed around Cooley & Co., and walked out with a 16-point W.

[abdcskins]

Yeah big win for sure. Notre Dame had won their last 45 out of 47 games at home, which I thought was an impressive stat. Smith-Rivera stepped up, he can shoot, diaper dandy that one. And Porter was tremendous. Good movement, passing, and shooting. Defense was large, Ayegba cleaned up the boards he is gonna get more time. Everyone contributed. Nice to see Lubick get some post moves in there, he has this little hook that works.

Hoyas take down Louisville today at Verizon! Starting to roll a bit, improving the resume.

[REDSKINS STOMP]

Team could be coming around. Embarrassed St. Johns again today.
