I'm not overly motivated tonight, so just a few bullet-point style thoughts:
- Georgetown did not do a very good job on the defensive glass tonight. Aren't you glad I fired up my stats program to tell you that? Well, it's true. Fully half of all Friar missed shots ended up right back with them. This was the worst defensive rebounding effort by the Hoyas this year (previous worse against Duke). But if you account for the fact that Providence was the 7th best offensive rebounding team in the nation coming into the game . . . this was still the worst defensive rebounding effort of the year.
- Having said that, this was actually the best defensive performance for the Hoyas since the start of conference play. Why? They forced the Friars into a ton of missed shots - missed jump shots actually. Provy was 7/27 [26%] on 3FG, but also made only 1/13 2-pt jump shots. That's a combined 8/40 [20%] on all jumpers, and they took a lot of them. Jump shots made up 40/61 [66%] of their total shot attempts from the field.
- Meanwhile, the Hoyas recognized the weakness in the Friar defense and began to pound the ball inside: in the 2nd half, the Hoyas shot 14/18 on dunks, layups and tip-ins while only attempting 10 jump shots [3/8 2FG, 0/2 3FG]. This is the same pattern that they used in their last game against Villanova - taking outside shots in the 1st half, then pounding it inside in the 2nd half.
- The four second-half turnovers on 38 possessions was also important to boost offensive efficiency in the 2nd half.

Keno Davis employed a very strange defensive strategy against Greg Monroe in the Vesper half tonight. He had his big defenders sag off Monroe so he couldn't drive or get position in deep, daring him to shoot. But he didn't.
Instead, Chris Wright and Julian Vaughn took turns cutting straight for the hoop, while Austin Freeman and either Jason Clark or Hollis Thompson camped outside to keep the defense honest. And Monroe would hit the cutter with a picture-perfect pass nearly every time, for an easy layup (Wright) or dunk (Vaughn). Monroe had 9 assists in the 2nd half, while Wright and Vaughn combined for 31 points on 12/15 shooting on 2FGs. In fact, the Hoyas made 14 FGs while Greg was on the court in the second half, and he assisted 9 of those. As Len Elmore said while calling the game, giving Monroe such great sight-lines for passing to cutters was suicide.
Thompson and especially Clark struggled shooting the ball today, although Hollis was able to contribute some solid defense. Jerrelle Benimon and Henry Sims (!) saw some action in the Lift-off half when Monroe picked up his second foul, and while both proved fine as defensive subs, neither were much help towards the cause on offense.

There's been some chatter about a play in the 2nd half where the Hoyas got their passing on. I've uploaded it here for your viewing pleasure. All five Hoyas touched the ball in rapid succession to set up a layup.
Stats pages will be updated tomorrow.
