In a strange way, the loss today against UT felt like a more positive performance than yesterday's grinding win against WSU. Georgetown still struggled with turnovers and rebounding (a mantra for the season, I suspect), and ended up losing in all four factors, albeit by small margins in eFG% and FT Rate.
- The nominal 73 possession pace was as fast as the most rapid game the G'town played last season (v. Radford). While this was more typical of the Volunteers' tempo, this may also be a reflection of the new Hoyas, looking to run quite a bit more than previous seasons under JTIII. This will be an interesting story to follow as the season progresses.
- The Hoyas finally broke out of their early season shooting woes, breaking the 30% mark on 3FGs for the first time this season (thanks to O. Wattad's 3/3 3FG game). The shooting was stronger in the 1st half than the 2nd (tired legs?), but is hopefully a sign that the team's shooting touch is returning.
- Speaking of shooting, Georgetown continues to eschew the 2-pt. jumper, taking only 6 (and making 2) today. On the season, Georgetown has shot 8/26 (31%) on 2-pt jumpers, while their opponents have gone 23/78 (29%). That is, the Hoyas have settled for 2-pt jump shots (typically made at about the same percentage as 3FGs) about a third as often as their opponents. This is absolutely the correct strategy, which will eventually pay dividends.
- The Vols' steals rate for the game was truly impressive, and well above their average for last season (12.6% [24th nationally]).

Yesterday, I called out C. Wright and J. Clark for not taking care of the ball. Today . . . no turnovers between them. Coincidence?
Unfortunately, I am not yet master of my precious mojo - rather than correcting an ill, I merely moved it onto others: A. Freeman had 6 turnovers in 15.2 possessions used (39% TO Rate) and J. Sapp had 5 TOs / 8.9 poss (56%). I apologize to both, and hope that I - and they - will be more careful next time.
D. Summers turned the ball over 4 times for the 2nd game in a row (30% TO Rate), but was efficient otherwise (4/5 2FG, 2/4 3FG) and played respectable defense to provide a net positive perfomance for the game.
The three leading rebounders in today's game were Freeman, Sapp and Wattad - guards or swingmen.
Speaking of Mr. Wattad, it should be pointed out that this was, if not a homecoming, at least an opportunity for him to play against familiar opponents. He went to school at Science Hill High School in Johnson City, TN.
The player of the game goes to . . . Greg Monroe. Hoo-hum, just another day at the office for Mr. Monroe (15 points on 5/6 2FG). Unfortunately, Greg battled foul trouble once again in the 2nd half, and wasn't able to match the number of possessions played of the other starters.
