Recap: Georgetown 80, Seton Hall 75

princetonbasketball.com - Stephen Goldsmith
After watching a pair of great Big East match-ups yesterday, it makes me a little sad watching the Georgetown Hoyas reduced to scratching and clawing out a win tonight against the Seton Hall Pirates.

It's not that I don't enjoy Austin Freeman pulling a bit of a heat-check with a 26-foot swish as the shot-clock runs down, nor do I dismiss out-of-hand any road win the almighty Big East.

In fact, Pomeroy tells us that the Hoyas were only 4-point favorites coming into the game, and Seton Hall recently got back their big gunner in Jeremy Hazell.  And the Pirates played well against a top BE team just 10 days ago, when they lost to the Syracuse Orange while getting multiple cracks at tying up the game in the last two minutes.

But watching the second half, as Georgetown repeatedly gave up scores against the worst offense in the Big East [0.92 PPP in conference], is enough to let you know that - in spite of the win - it's time to lower expectations for the rest of the year.


For now, let's just run the numbers:

I don't much to add down here after the jump.  Just one observation:

When Julian Vaughn was off the court, the Hoyas scored 11 points on 15 possessions [= 0.73 PPP].

  1. I mentioned this on casual hoya, but the .92 PPP is a low band as Seton Hall did that without Hazell for 4 games and then a just off of some serious injury Hazell in the last three.

    They aren't good on offense + we aren't good on defense, but 0.92 is probably considerably below where they will end up by close of conference play
