Win Saturday win vs. State next week and they dance. <BR/><BR/>And to the Georgetown fans. That game was 3 months ago. And Yes Georgetown beat the snot out of MD. But MD has 2 different starters and a completely different rotation now. They are a completely different team. If the Terps fail to make the NCAAs try to not embarass yourselves in the first round of the NIT so the Terps can give you a beatdown in a later round.ScarShouldershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305982975019000581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-11817811235349123192009-03-04T09:10:00.000-05:002009-03-04T09:10:00.000-05:00Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. So much for GTown. God that ...Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. So much for GTown. God that hurts. I may be a "homer" for them, but even I cannot justify a bid after that. They were up by 16 with a bit over 11 minutes left to play. They then scored exactly 5 points in the last 11 minutes of regulation. That is beyond horrible. This includes attempts by St. Johns to give them points by putting them on the free throw line. They were outscored in the last 10 minutes plus overtime 29-10. 10 points in over 15 minutes at the end of the game. While in the Bonus status the entire time. Damn.<BR/><BR/>This has been Georgetown's problem all season long. They simply cannot score in the last 5 minutes of a game. They led by 10 or so in the second Cincinnati game and did the exact same thing -- did not score anything, allowing Cinci to tie it up and then win in OT. They sure tried to do the same thing on Saturday at Villanova, basically failing to score in the last 5 minutes, but still managed to hold out.<BR/><BR/>If one had access to the data, it would be very interesting to determine Georgetown's average points per minute during the last 5 minutes of games in 2009 (so exclude the OOC part of the season). I bet it comes out less than 1 point per minute. Brutal.<BR/><BR/>I do not know what this says other than: (1) Bubble -- popped. (2) They have no "go to" guy. (3) DeJuan Summers' draft status is nil. He will certainly be back next year, and probably Europe after that. (4) Chances of Greg Monroe coming back next year after enduring this pain are also probably near nil. (5) One needs to also question the coaching. I love JT3, and am not saying he should go, but he needs to do a lot of thinking this summer about what was failing so consistently this year and how to change that -- be it tactics, personalities, confidence, whatever it was that is so clearly failing them this year.<BR/><BR/>Still love the site. Still think that ACC is overrated. Still think that Penn St. has no business in the tournament.<BR/><BR/>Bye. I am going to sit in a dark corner for the next few days, rocking back and forth and murmuring something about clowns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-37918594136571087422009-03-04T03:58:00.000-05:002009-03-04T03:58:00.000-05:00B101 ...

Oklahoma State is moving up the bubble list as a possible sixth team out of the Big XII, and in the Big Ten, Penn State got a little safer and Michigan got a little boost by not doing anything. <BR/><BR/>Maryland's loss was killer, especially considering they led for so much of the game. That said, they are not out of the bracket just yet. Whether they are in on Friday depends on what VT does tomorrow night against Carolina. <BR/><BR/>URI and New Mexico are definitely on the bubble, but they aren't going to get real, real strong at-large consideration just yet. One of them might appear on the Next Four Out list on Friday, but probably not both. There is room on the Next Four Out list cince Georgetown will be off of it for sure, and Kansas State might be as well. <BR/><BR/>The problem with New Mexico is that, even with their win over Utah tonight, they only have three Top 50 wins, and all of those wins are in conference and all have come at home. They have no OOC resume at all, they have three losses outside the Top 100, and their computer numbers (63 RPI, 81 SOS) aren't great, either. We're not so sure, given their struggles on the road in conference, that they are a lock to win at Wyoming this weekend. URI, at this point, is a slighly better at-large candidate. They are going to finish second in the A-10, they've been on fire of late (they've won 10 of 11) and they have decent OOC wins against Penn State, VCU, and Northeastern. Their biggest weakness is that both of their quality conference wins (Dayton and Temple) came at home. The Rams aren't worthy of an at-large right now, but they are going to be very dangerous in the A-10 tourney.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-27547657367729625432009-03-03T23:38:00.000-05:002009-03-03T23:38:00.000-05:00B101, NEW MEXICO IN?

I just dont see how you can let them in over a maryland who has huge wins, or Va tech, who has big wins or another team."<BR/><BR/>Um, right. Because UConn, Memphis, Villanova, 2 of those 3 on the road, well those just don't qualify as "huge wins". The fact that Georgetown beat Maryland -- no, scratch that -- thoroughly dismembered, evicerated, emasculated and generally embarrassed Maryland -- on a neutral floor should likewise mean nothing. <BR/><BR/>The fact that Georgetown's worst loss is to Seton Hall on the road -- the same Seton Hall that beat VA Tech at VA Tech -- also irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>Oh, hey, here's another idea. All 3 of these teams (GTown, MD and VATech) played at Cameron Indoor this year. Let's look at those. Well, seems that Georgetown lost by 9 in a game that was even until a horrible technical called on Monroe while he was sitting on the bench, resulting in his 4th foul of the game. Meanwhile -- VA Tech, well, they at least kept the loss to a mere 25 points, while Maryland lost by 41 FRIGGEN' POINTS. Are you kidding me? 41?<BR/><BR/>But why is all of this irrelevant? Because Maryland and Virginia Tech are in the hands down, unchallenged, no doubt about it, best league in the country. That comment came out dripping in sarcasm. I respect UNC this year. Duke is good, not great. Certainly Top 20, probably not Top 10. After that, I am having real trouble with the ACC. Wake beat BYU on the road. Good win that. After that, next toughest OOC game was what Baylor? Indiana? UTEP? Wake has done nothing outside of the ACC. Clemson I feel a bit better about -- 4 point win over Temple, 2 point win over Illinois and 11 points over South Carolina, but none of those three are even Top 25 teams. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, ACC is in for another disappointing year unless they get "home games" in the Tourney as they often seem to do. UNC makes it to the final 8, probably final 4. Duke, probably Sweet 16. Wake, Clemson, BC (lost to Harvard, can lose to anyone), Maryland, VA Tech, Florida St., all of those are gone before that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-63065423084336941052009-03-03T18:34:00.000-05:002009-03-03T18:34:00.000-05:005 or 6 teams from the ACC in the sweet 16???

I see 3. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Maryland at least deserves to be in because they actually did something nonconference-wise, but<BR/>Va Tech?? I don't see why folks have them in at all. Their best nonconference win is against #103 Fairfield. They also lost at home to Seton Hall and @Georgia. <BR/><BR/>Funny, how they were always the doormat in the Big East and then they move to the ACC and become a midlevel team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
