Analysis: Georgetown 82, Fordham 55


It wasn't a carbon copy of the American game, it just feels that way.

Georgetown erupted after the first media time out of the 1st half, turning a 17-8 lead at 14:54 into a 41-11 blowout at 9:03. That's a 24-3 run in 4:51 in which the Hoyas shot 6-6 2FG, 4-4 3FG and had 1 turnover; in other words, GU produced ~2.2 points per possession during that 11 possession stretch, while allowing just one 2-pt jumper and a FT.

Congratulations are in order for Jonathan Wallace, who joined the 1000 career points club and became the all-time leader in 3FG made for Georgetown today.

From the stats above, it's clear that Fordham was more competitive in the 2nd half, with better defense slowing down the Hoyas' eFG% (77.4% -> 54.5%) and great offensive rebounding. How much of that was the result of lopsided score is hard to say.

If you look at the +/- stats for the last 2 games, you'll see how this game differed from the last, despite both being 27-point wins:

While Saturday's game was a near-equal effort by the nine-man rotation, today the heavy lifting was done almost exclusively by the starting five (did I mention that Austin Freeman made his first career start?).

That wraps up the OOC portion of the schedule. The Big East schedule begins for Georgetown on Jan. 5th, as they meet the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at the RAC in New Jersey.
