Analysis: Georgetown 82, Villanova 63

Roy Hibbert was shut out in 14 foul-plagued minutes, his first game without scoring since January 2005. Jonathan Wallace scored 1 point in the second half. The Hoyas didn't shoot a free throw for the first 27:40, by which point Villanova had taken 21 from the charity stripe. Sure doesn't sound like a 19-point win, does it? Well, that's what happens when you hit a Big East Tournament- and school-record 17 three pointers.

And the numbers:

Comments:

  • The game definitely went at Georgetown's pace in the first half, and the second half was at a North Carolina-style pace. Some of this was the normal late-game muck, but Villanova's TO rate probably contributed.

  • It was a tale of two halves on the boards. Georgetown dominated the first half, Villanova the second half.

  • Villanova couldn't buy a 2 all game. Then again, they couldn't the first game either.

  • 25 assists on 28 made field goals. That's pretty good.

  • The three-point shooting was just as good as you thought it was. For the Hoyas, 48% from 2 isn't special. 72% eFG is pretty awesome.


I'll try to get more comments up later, after I figure out how to update all the season stats stuff.

  1. You should have John Wallace help you out with the math on our first half free throw percentage. He can divide by zero.

  2. I dunno, I thought it was a pretty instructive number. I may change it later if it annoys me.

    Thanks for reading.
