Recap: Georgetown 58, Wichita State 50

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hopefully you've recovered from the tryptophan-induced (Hoya-induced?) coma and have now come to find out if there were any bright spots from today's grueling 8 point win over the Shockers.

Let's run the numbers:

It wasn't an exceptionally slow pace that kept the score so low, it was two offenses that struggled to score points. The last time Georgetown struggled this much offensively in the non-conf. portion of the schedule were the back-to-back losses vs. Oregon and at Duke in the 2006-7 season.

What are the major problems on offense? Turnovers and 3-pt. shooting.
  • Turnovers: The main culprits today were C. Wright (5 TOs / 10 possessions used = 50% TO Rate) and J. Clark (4 / 5.9 = 68% TO Rate). D. Summers committed 3 TOs, but did so while using 13.3 possessions, for a pedestrian 23% TO Rate. The fault here is with the young guards.
  • 3-pt shooting: Wright (0/4) and A. Freeman (0/3) combined for 7 misses without a make today. In three games against mediocre competition, Georgetown has shot 5/23, 6/21 and now 3/18 on 3FGs. That's a net of 14/62, or 22.6%. These three teams were not especially proficient guarding 3's last season (def 3FG% = 33.9, 33.1, 38.9 respectively for Jacksonville, Drexel and WSU), so there's no evidence that the Hoyas have run up against a series of teams that focus on stopping outside shooting. Outside shooting was critical to last year's team; G'town shot 40.0% on 3FGs in wins, but 27.6% in losses. So long as Summers (2/10 this season) and Freeman (3/11) miss from outside, this team will struggle against anyone willing to play a packed-in zone and dare the Hoyas to beat them from outside.
Defensive rebounding continues to be a problem for the Hoyas, although rebounding is clearly the Shocker's great strength - coming into the game, WSU was the best defensive rebounding team in the country (OReb% allowed = 16.5%) and a very good offensive rebounding team (OReb% = 42.5, 25th).

A positive? Georgetown continues to make their opponents miserable on 2pt-shooting. The Hoyas allowed no fast-break baskets today (if my compiler is working correctly).

There were only 4 positive contributors today for the Georgetown. G. Monroe was dominant in the 1st half (11 pts. 3 reb., 2 blk., 2 st.) but struggled in the 2nd (0 pts., 1 reb., 1 blk., 0 st.). Conversely, Summers came alive in the 2nd half after little contribution in the 1st (and getting called out by Jay Williams on the half-time show).

The player-of-the-game goes to . . . Austin Freeman. Despite his 0/3 on 3FGs, Freeman made 6/7 2FGs and committed no turnovers.

Tomorrow, Georgetown continues their inexorable march towards a Sunday game against the Maryland Terrapins with a 1pm meeting against the Tennessee Volunteers. A nice resource for all things Vol is the BruceBall Blog. If the game pace gets above 70 possessions, expect a painful afternoon.


I'll try to get this year's team and individual stats pages up and running this weekend, as long as I can find some time.
