That 3FG% is normally the kiss of death for the Hoyas - G'town shot 20% or less twice last season, and lost both games (at Pitt and at Louisville). And today's percentage is a bit inflated by J. Sapp's garbage 3FG as the game ended. I'm not sure how much as attributable to the uber-long Memphis guards - Memphis came in allowing 30.7% on 3FG, good but not exceptional.
The +16 points scored at the FT line seems to have been the real key to the game, and very unusual for the Hoyas before this season.
Another key was forcing Memphis into 3/22 on 2FG jumpers (thank you Mr. Evans). That helped offset G'town's own shooting woes.
INDIVIDUAL NET POINTS STATSCoach Thompson played a very short bench today, with only J. Clark and O. Wattad getting significant minutes. Special kudos to Omar for drawing at least 2 offensive charges (that's what I remember), which helped him lead the team in defensive efficiency. The play-by-play doesn't credit which player draws those fouls, but it still picked up on the additional TO's by Memphis while he was on the court

Player of the game is . . . DaJuan Summers, who also had a strong defensive game which was complemented with nice shooting day inside (6/7 2FG, 6/8 FT). He missed 4 out of 5 3FGA, but the team as a whole really struggled with this (as noted above).
