Recap: Georgetown 81, Drexel 53

The Drexel Dragons were no match for the Hoyas today at the Verizon Center, succumbing to efficient shooting in the 1st half and a strong defensive effort all game.

Let's run the numbers:

I've bolded and highlighted key numbers from the tempo-free box:
  • Just a solid defensive effort by the Hoyas, across both halves.
  • Georgetown took good care of the ball today, while Drexel was exceptionally generous in the 1st half.
  • Georgetown was very efficient shooting from the floor in the 1st half, by shooting 12 layups or tip-ins and making 11. Drexel had a miserable 2nd half shooting the ball from 2-pt range (2-8 on layups didn't help, but 0-11 on 2-pt jumpers was the killer).
  • After 2 games, it looks like rebounding will be a big issue for the Hoyas. They've been outrebounded twice now, by teams that are unarguably inferior athletically.

Comments:
  • Anyone know where Julian Vaughn was today? Edited to add: The crack staff over at Hoya Hoops got the story:
    Coach said that Vaughn had a minor leg injury above the Achilles and below the calf (he couldn’t remember the medical term or which leg) but he said it wasn’t serious. He said Vaughn suffered the injury before the Jacksonville game but played through it and you could notice him limping a bit in that game. Vaughn hasn’t practiced since then but Coach didn’t seem like it was anything major.
  • Greg Monroe is slipping (he had a Off. Rtg. of 174 last game).
  • Chris Wright didn't miss a FT today.
  • Austin Freeman recovered nicely from his 1-10 shooting performance against Jacksonville with a 4-4 2FG, 2-3 3FG game today. I'm going to go ahead and chalk up last game's problems to the obvious leg cramps he was having.
  • Henry Sims and Nikita Mescheriakov continued to struggle offensively with a bit more burn than last game. Meshcharakou (alternative spelling!) missed on two 3FGAs today - he'll need to start making those to stay in the rotation. Sims was 0-3 on 3FGAs today - he'll need to stop taking those, but he'll likely stay in the rotation either way.
  • Again in this game, Sapp lead the team with his defensive play (5 steals!). I'd suggest that he's doing a great job leading the team right now, by deferring on offense to players who need to get touches as they grow into the offense (Wright & Monroe, especially), but still bringing maximum effort on the other end.
  • Player of the game is . . . Greg Monroe. He used about 5 more possessions than last game on offense with virtually no drop in efficiency, while playing a better defensive game (3 steals, 3 blocks, 6 def. rebounds). His most important stat is probably his 4 assists, second today behind Wright (7).
