While the lack of defensive ability is well-documented, this is the second consecutive game where the Hoyas' once vaunted offense self-destructed by turning the ball over too many times, with a -5 turnover margin today [18 to 13], including four straight to end the game. Georgetown was also man-handled on the glass today, allowing West Virginia to grab 44% [=15/34] of their misses while tracking down only 19% [=4/21] of their own.
This also marks at least the third game this year where an opponent had a career game against the Hoyas to lead his team to victory.
Recognizing Georgetown's defensive issues, this loss was entirely about offense. We expected West Virginia to score about 1.05 points per possession at Verizon coming into the game, and that's just about the figure they hit. But we'd also expect Georgetown to score about 1.15 points per possession today, and they weren't close. This is almost exactly the same performance we saw against Notre Dame, once we adjust for opponent and venue.
The most glaring issue for the Hoyas today and throughout the season is that when Austin Freeman and Chris Wright aren't making shots, the game is lost. It's unclear if (and unlikely that) there are some underlying health issues for Austin, but the pair have simply not performed up to their reputation in Georgetown's four losses.
In Georgetown's losses, the rest of the team (everyone but Wright and Freeman) have managed a TS% = 65 and an Off. Rating = 116.. Wins Losses . ORate TS % ORate TS % Freeman 144.5 72.9 86.5 47.9 Wright 114.3 59.5 72.9 33.5. TS % = True shooting percentage
And on that note, just a stats dump will have to suffice for the game. My schedule is a bit swamped right now. Hope to get the stats pages updated tonight.
