Georgetown

[CONN78SEJ]

Absolutely insane! 25 points? i don’t see how anyone except G-town saw that one coming. I’m flabbergasted.

They outshot Creighton 46% to 28% and just as important out rebounded Creighton by 16. Bishop had just 2 pts for Creighton and Jefferson had 5. Unlike UConn, Georgetown’s defense on Creighton’s interior players was exceptional.

Congrats to GTown what a run. And more congrats to the freshman Harris for MVP of the tourney well done.

Congrats is right. I would like to know what buttons Ewing pushed. A team with losing record, a team we beat twice easily won the Big East and going to the dance. Incredible. Goes to show you about the Big East.

Looks like Creighton used up all the mojo last night against us. Good for Georgetown though if they take a slot away from the nose picker.

Not taking anything away from GTown, but I believe Creighton was spent after our game. It took everything they had to beat us.

No doubt in my mind that Creighton paid for the win with UConn. One only has to look at RJ Cole face to know what a fight that was.

Ewing can teach rebounding, boxing out, interior defense, etc. Hurley needs a bigs coach, what’s Okafor, Josh Boone, or Jake doing nowadays.

Georgetown out rebounded them and then some, Bishop was held to 2 points and Jefferson had 5. Big difference from our game.

We were one of the best rebounding teams in the conference this year. We outrebounded our opponents by 5 per and averaged 3 more blocks per game. Sanogo has improved a lot since the season started. Whaley was defensive co defensive player of the year. Our staff is doing a nice job

Not against Creighton. They killed us on both ends of the court under both baskets.

I'll admit our team had a bad game. But I stand by my assessment that our coaches are doing great work with our bigs

Ok

The Big East will be much bigger with a UConn - Georgetown rivalry. Ewing was the perfect choice to fill JT's position. Not many schools get it right on the first try, but GTown did.

Wait, like 3 weeks ago weren't most people saying he was in over his head as a coach?

Probably spending all that NBA money. But yes, I completely agree on the need for a bigs coach. I don't know of an alumnus off the top of my head. Donny likes his TV gig and has gotten really good at it. Don't see Donyell stepping away from his HC gig in state. IDK what Travis is doing these days.

Donyell got fired last week, FYI

Ouch. Didn't hear. Not in CT for the winter. We gotta shout out 'Yell, right?

Clyde Vaughn, one of our best big coaches in the program has disappeared after his arrest. Not sure what he's up to now. It's sad that no one has given him a shot elsewhere if he hasn't landed anywhere.

We'll see how the other coaches (Kfree/Tom Moore?) handles the bigs. I think he's done a great job with Sanogo at least and Whaley has made strides as well. Carlton has been more serviceable than in the previous season. In the end, however, it's more about desire of going after the ball and that's really something you can't teach.

Vaughn was the assistant I was referring to in the Hilton - Whaley thread. Hilton blossomed under his coaching, as well as Calhoun and Leitao.
