Efficiency: Georgetown 1.290, Belmont 0.873
eFG%: Georgetown 0.613, Belmont 0.411
Substitutions: Georgetown 22, Belmont 54

2-pt Shot Selection:
Dunks: Georgetown 2-2, Belmont 0-0
Layups/Tips: Georgetown 13-18, Belmont 10-16
Jumpers: Georgetown 7-17, Belmont 4-14

Keys to the game:
  • Belmont shot 41.1% eFG, almost 14% below their average; the Hoyas had eFG = 61.3%. Remember that Belmont was 4th nationally in eFG% defense coming in (43.2).
  • G'town out-rebounded the Bruins 44.4% vs. 35.7% on the offensive glass. Note, however, that Belmont rebounded above their average (34.5).
  • Jessie Sapp!! He had 1.56 PPWS, and broke out of his shooting slump (2-27 3 pt. in his last 7 games before today) in a big way.
  • Game pace was 61 possessions, right where I expected (toots own horn).
  • The bench got 62 minutes, shot 7-9 (1-2 3 pt.; 8-10 FTs), 8 assists and 5 turnovers. Special nod for J. Rivers' 7 assists and Vernon Macklin shooting 4-5 FTs (dare I say?).

Georgetown faces Boston College for the right to play in the Sweet 16 on Saturday, 5:45 PM EST.

Edited to add:
Ken Pomeroy ran one of his high-def box scores for the Belmont game (link). Good stuff; hoping this becomes available for all games next year.

Re-edited to add:
I've retroactively added my own HD box score, in place of the standard box. Feel free to compare the two and let me know of any discrepancies.
