That was fun lol. Georgetown is reaaaaaaaaaaally bad

• Georgetown must hate Karaban. The dagger 3 last year and two 25+ point performances this year
• Great game by Castle living at the hoop. He was trying to rip the rim down today and was also 1-2 on his threes (would be 2-3 but got thrown a grenade on a shot clock violation)
• Sometimes I forget how high Samson can jump. Some of those dunks were SCARY
• Epps averages 18 points a game. He scored 4
• I'm very excited to see what Stewart does in the next 1-2 years

UConn came out ready to fight and didn't look past Georgetown despite their records. Love to see that, go Huskies!

Kind of disappointed we played them only even in the 2nd half, but that may be a factor of having such a huge lead, and credit to Georgetown. 2nd half seemed like a total parade to the FT line. we ended up shooting only 58%. Not our best effort there.

Tremendous game by Karaban especially in the first half. Seemed like he couldn't miss. And some really nice minutes from Johnson. Glad to see Stewart getting important minutes too. And loved seeing Castle show off what he does best. Also had a nice 3 called off due to an off the ball foul by UConn. Seems like all his work on the 3 has paid off...

I wondered why Clingan spent so much time on the perimeter - not just setting screens, but passing and hanging out in that area, then I saw he had 6 assists, and some of them were really awesome. Spencer makes so many great decisions too. Not a huge scoring game for him, but he's really good with the ball.

And some great defense on Epps.

All around fun game. Pound town in the first half and never looked back. This team is awesome!

Ball movement was exceptional today. 26 assists leading to 60+% shooting and only 7 turnovers. Outstanding!

Gentleman Dan keeps Huskies under 90, like keeping it under 100 against Xavier.

Looking for the game when Stewart converts the 'almosts' into stats. It's coming.

One more: 27 bench points, if I added correctly.

Stewie had a couple eye opening plays.

Also got a chuckle out of this: Hurley was furious when the lead is 26 points.

Castle has quietly become one of our more consistent scorers. Love what he brings in his ability to get into the lane and go get a bucket. And continues to show enough outside shot that teams are having to play farther out.

Karaban continues to be a complete killer.

Offense got pretty stagnant in the second half but not super surprising (or concerning) given the total lack of competitiveness of the score at that point.

They took the 2nd half off. Dan took way too long to let them know it. It’s on the fix list now.

Johnson looked good. On a day that Clingan didnt score much we have plenty of offensive options. Alex healed! That’s the most important thing really.

I love the name Supreme Cook.

That is the only thing that G'town had going for them. Easy game. Work like performance. Tough to keep going hard when you know you can't lose.

That was too easy, we're special

And Ed Cooley is the most overrated coach in NCAA history. 3-7 in the dance, one second weekend appearance

Anyone know why this guy is treated like he walks on water? I don't get it. If he did for UConn what he did at PC, we'd be calling for his head

But as Ed has said, he is rich

Johnson needs some tweaking such as avoiding dumb fouls.

Cooley is a d1k but he did a great job at Providence.

Georgetown’s first half performance was one of the most pathetic halves I can remember seeing from a Big East team. Against Xavier we played great. Today, they were just horrible. How many times can you leave someone wide open in the middle of the paint?

 

[F101Voodoo]

Four minutes into Providence bc Butler the score is only 4-4

 

[UCTitleTown]

Our team is starting to remind me of Tark's early 90's teams. Men amongst boys.

Did you see all of the quitting and finger pointing on defense? They didn't look they wanted to be there. Cooley has his hands full to build a winning culture. Georgetown has been horrible for so long.

 

[Palatine]

61% from the field. 58% from the line.

Even Karaban missed a FT. DC was 2-6. Time to keep DC after practice.

 

[HailUConn]

26 assists on 33 FGs!!! Sizzling hot!

 

[ctchamps]

Nice win. Probably biggest home crowd for Georgetown this season.

 

[3rdbass]

Not a pretty game to watch especially in the 2nd half. I loved how Hurley called that TO up 25 and dogged them for going through the motions. FT line was kind of ugly and Clingan seems to not be consistent on offense. Good to Karaban look healthy and Castle rebound from a sub-par game for him. Stiil the game was never in doubtt. Now on to Depaul for a chance to go 13-1.

Ed Cooley using 3 timeouts in the first 11 minutes just about sums this game up
