Georgetown Game Thread II

[NUgradCUfan]

I have been going to games for 50 years and was there tonight. The game was well in hand in the second half. This head coaching job has always been better than its inhabitant (aside from horrible AD's who had other agendas --might have that now. IDK?) EITHER GREG IS LEAVING OR HIS BENCH IS LEAVING AT THE END OF THIS SEASON. I don't claim to know which it will be but it is obvious at this point.

Can you elaborate? Cuz this post is rough to follow. You’re thinking Mac is leaving because the bench didn’t play significantly more minutes the 2nd half? What?

Where are you hearing anyyyyyy of this? Yes I wouldn’t be shocked if Lawson and king are gone next season. But there is no proof that issac, Jasen, or Dotzler won’t be back. Heck there is rumors from helmzy that one of the big 3 will be back next year same with ash and miller. Bring in another transfer or 2 and you have another contender. Mac isn’t leaving

I live in the real world based upon what I see.

Are you sure you’re seeing straight?

Nice game. Gtown is terrible. It will be interesting to see if Cooley can turn the program around. Go Jays

[Venturajay]

In regard to some of the guys on the bench leaving after this year, in the era of the transfer portal every team will lose multiple players to the portal each year so no surprise there.

Not sure how much we learn from last night other than that the team seems to have gotten to the point of being able to focus on the details enough on offense and defense and bring the effort necessary to put away a team we were expected to beat by a good margin

Best offensive game of the year against a power conference opponent (offensive rating of 138.2). As someone on the Hoya board said, that's so bad that if they fouled Kalkbrenner as a 70% FT shooter every play, they would have done the same as playing defense...

While it was nice to see guys mostly hitting shots, there were lots of open shots

Defensively, we had a good first half and when we stretched the lead to 20, the defensive intensity fell off (hard to blame them for that). Epps got 17 on 18 shots and finished 6/18

We outrebounded them and kept turnovers low - and that, to me, is the key for every game we have left from now on

Lots of individual performances:

Baylor with the triple-double! I remember Ben's triple-doubles back in the day, (wonder how close Wrightsell was to a double double or triple double with the 8 steal games?)
Trey went crazy, especially from 3 PT range -- really it was the only area of his game on offense lacking and I've been hoping he could return to the form he showed last year
Kalk could have really dominated again, but we only got 8 shots for him
Ashworth had another nice performance 4/10 from 3 PT, 6 rebounds (I like how he gets the offense up the court fast when he rebounds), 4 assists, 0 turnovers
Miller looked banged up still but was 2/5 from 3 PT

Green looked great off the bench. If he can play like this off the bench, and Traudt can get to a point of playing well enough at the 5 to let Kalkbrenner rest, that may be a huge boost for the rest of the season. That along with Trey hitting 3's are the big takeaways for me

On to Butler Saturday where I hope we can steal back the win we gave up to them at home

Expected to win easily. Won easily. I believe that only Quad 1 and Quad 2 games remain on the regular season schedule. The Jays have the sort of remaining schedule to wind up as a 2 seed or fall to an 8/9.

Completely agree with others that perhaps the most positive outcome last night was 18 bench points and some quality relief minutes from Green and Traudt. But of course this came against Georgetown...
