I only was able to watch parts of the 1st half of tonight's game (did I mention that I've been busy these days?), but did just go back and view the last minute on tape (or hard disk, in this case).
Once again, Jessie Sapp lead the team back from the brink in the last minute(s) of play; I'm beginning to think that Sapp becomes the de facto leader in the end-game proceedings because he is the best (only?) Hoya that can create in those situations. By this, I mean that he is likely the only player comfortable shooting from the outside off the dribble and also driving the lane for contact and/or a layup.

I've tried something new here - I've highlighted the numbers that I think are particularly telling from the tempo-free box score.
Other thoughts:
- West Virginia lost this game at the FT line - coming into the game, the Mountaineers had 73% FT in conference play, and if they had performed at that clip in tonight's game (17-23 FTs rather than 12-23), they would have won the game. This is the 2nd straight game of poor FT shooting by WVU, with their 39% FT effort against Marshall nearly costing them that game as well.
- West Virginia has been winning this year in no small part by forcing turnovers (24.6% TO Rate [43/341] coming into the game) while not committing turnovers themselves (15.5% [3/341]). This held true for the 1st half, but Georgetown was able to make adjustments during half-time to limit TOs and keep in the game.
- Georgetown continues to struggle shooting 3FGs on the road. The team shoots 43% 3FG at home, but only 32% on the road; meanwhile, their opponents shoot 31% at home and 30% on the road. I'll update team and individual splits tomorrow.
- The Hoyas out-rebounded their opponent for only the 2nd time in their last 10 games. (here, I'm using Total Rebounding Pct., rather than counting stats). West Virginia was 9th in conference in Tot. Reb. % coming into the the game. The other team to lose to Georgetown on the glass? Connecticut.
- The game was played at a tepid 55-possession pace; West Virginia had played one game this season at a pace less than 60 possessions (@ Canisius), while Georgetown had played 7 of it's 17 games sub-60 possessions coming into the game.
Here's the last few seconds, Chvotkin-style. Sorry for the small size and crappy quality - the original, higher-rez version.

If you haven't had a chance yet, be sure to check out StatSheet.com's new college basketball pages. They're still working out the kinks, but after using it for today's recap, I'm quite impressed. The main author had been quite receptive to suggestions.
HoyaChris Hera and I know of at least five other readers personally :) . I think our defensive rebounding % was helped by the large number of WV free throw misses.
