Recap: Georgetown 89, Duke 77

Well, that was fun.

In a defense-optional affair, the Hoyas beat the Duke Blue Devils this afternoon at the Verizon Center in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates.

And you know your blog has made the big time when the only comments you get are simply links to other blogs (that I've never heard of) from an anonymous fellow and a very recently deceased reclusive author.

Let's run the numbers:

The most important line on the tempo-free box score is third from the bottom - when a team shoots better than 80% from 2FG (and take more than twice as many 2FG as 3FG in the game), the game is effectively over.

This was not a case of a team getting white-hot on their jump shots, as they shot 27 of their 33 attempts inside the arc as either dunks, layups or tip-ins (and made 23 of those).  Of course, Chris Wright's consecutive made leaning 2FG jumpers in the 1st half were probably a sign that the Hoyas weren't going to miss too many of any type.

This was the third time this season that Georgetown has passed the 70% eFG threshold for a game this season, and in fact the third straight home game where they've done it (also vs. Seton Hall and Rutgers).  Obviously, today's opponent had a slightly better ranked defense (13th) than the other two (120th and 150th, respectively) coming into the game.

A couple of the other green-highlighted numbers to note:  the Hoyas consistently contested shots today, which helped to hold down Duke's inside shooting percentage; the Blue Devils averaged less than 17% TO Rate coming into the game, so that 1st half turnover rate must have been a real shock to them.

And since I can't pass on an opportunity to spread some clouds amongst all this sunshine, Georgetown was absolutely obliterated on the glass today.  They didn't miss many shots today so it didn't matter, but that's the second consecutive game where the Hoyas gathered less than 20% of their own missed shots.

Today we saw what it looks like when all three of Georgetown's stars are playing well together.   

Chris Wright and Austin Freeman carried the brunt of the load in the Lift-off half, with a combined 8/8 2FG, 3/4 3FG, 3/3 FT shooting performance, along with 4 assists).

Greg Monroe was the star of the Vesper half, with 13 points on 4/5 2FG, 5/8 FT shooting and 3 assists, and he got a lot of help from Julian Vaughn, who shot 4/4 2FG in the second half.

Jason Clark had an efficient, low-usage offensive game while stuck with the unenviable task of chasing around Duke's best offensive player (Scheyer).  He did a fine job of limiting Scheyer;s best weapon - Duke's most productive FT shooter only had 4 attempts in the game.

If Hollis Thompson can play most games at today's level, Georgetown will become an awfully tough out.

Recap: Duke 76, Georgetown 67

I'll be perfectly honest here - I didn't get a chance to watch the game live, and my DVR seems to have buggered up recording the game, so I won't be able to watch a replay either.

So, for the most part, the numbers will have to speak for themselves. And with that, let's run the numbers:

Having perused HoyaTalk this evening, it appears that the bizarre technical (& 4th personal) foul on G. Monroe early in the second half is the story to most G'town partisans. But, since a) I didn't actually see the game and b) I write on a stat-focused blog, I'll leave that discussion to others. Instead, I'll try to take a dispassionate (clinical? sterile?) look at what the game stats tell us.

The games was played at a pace more to Georgetown's liking, especially in the 1st half, but Duke is not an exceptionally fast-paced team, so this is probably not much of the story.

What is striking to me, just from looking at the four factors from the tempo-free box, is that the underlying stats indicate a very close game, certainly closer than the ~10 point game that played out for most of the second half. G'town was a hair more accurate from the field (eFG%: 55.9 vs. 55.3) and more likely to go to the free throw line (FT Rate: 35.3 vs. 22.4), while committing a few more turnovers than the Blue Devils (TO%: 21.2 vs. 18.1) and being outrebounded (OR%: 26.7 vs. 32.3).

Moreover, and I won't bother to re-write the numbers here, the two halves appeared to be mirror images of each other, in that Georgetown shot poorly and turned the ball over while outrebounding Duke in the 1st half, while Duke shot poorly and turned the ball over while outrebounding the Hoyas in the 2nd half.

I do see two explanations for why the underlying stats belie the final score:

1. The difference between eFG% for the game is so small as to be regarded as a wash, so the other factors will determine the game outcome - here Duke was significantly better at holding on to the ball and gathering their own misses, while G'town was only better at getting FTs (and remember that the four factors are ranked in order of importance).


2. When the teams did get to the FT line, the Hoyas (mostly D. Summers) struggled (10/18) while the Blue Devils made theirs (12/13). Based on season average FT%, that was about a 5-6 point swing towards Duke.

I'll skip and in-depth player comments tonight, since I'd prefer to have actually watched the game before making any individual judgements. Instead, just a few bullet points:

• Monroe (Player of the Game), Summers and A. Freeman all played well offensively.
• C. Wright had a poor shooting night drag his Off. Rating down.
• J. Sapp probably wishes he had stayed in bed today.
• Georgetown's bench scored as many points as Duke's today, but the Hoyas were much less efficient in doing so. In fact, Duke only had two players produce less than a point per possession today, although one (K. Singler) was their workhorse.
  
• Does anyone know why B. Zoubek and L. Thomas played so little today?

Finally, Georgetown's offensive & defensive efficiencies:

• When Greg Monroe was on the court: OEff = 1.19, DEff = 0.95
• When Greg Monroe was off the court: OEff = 0.53, DEff = 1.48

Duke Preview

So, what do the Blue Devils look like this year?

As usual, here are the current four factors for Duke:

.                    Offense         Defense

Adj. Efficiency     115.7 (18)       81.5 (2)

eFG%                 52.4 (61)       43.0 (16)

Turnover %           20.0 (127)      24.3 (29)

Off Rebound %        41.2 (12)       30.5 (81)

FT Rate              45.6 (21)       29.5 (49)

Duke is Pomeroy's #1 ranked team, and the only predicted loss on Georgetown's remaining schedule.

So, it's not going to be easy. And especially not at Cameron and likely playing a bit of five on eight.

More importantly, this isn't the Duke team from 2006, despite what most Hoya fans seem to think. Duke will likely play almost exclusively man to man, as they did in 2006, but this team is much quicker and much more athletic than that team.

That Duke team featured mediocre defenders at the point guard, two guard and power forward, as well as a center who was considered strong down low but had no ability to defend on the perimeter.

That Duke team was a good defensive team in 2005-2006 because Duke always plays quality team defense and exerts consistent effort. But they had an overall weakness in team quickness that certain teams could exploit.

This Duke team is quicker. Nolan Smith has taken the reigns from Greg Paulus. Gerald Henderson is extremely athletic and Kyle Singler is going to be much more prepared to cover another combo forward than Josh McRoberts.


However, the Hoyas still have strong advantages against Duke.

The matchup of Greg Monroe versus Brian Zoubek is a particularly bad matchup for the Blue Devils. Because of this, expect Lance Thomas and possibly even Kyle Singler to play most of the center minutes.

The upside of this is Duke is likely going to play smaller than they usually do. Which is going to be helpful because Zoubek is the strongest per possession rebounder on a strong rebounding Duke team.

The downside is that even without Zoubek on the floor, Duke is an extremely strong rebounding team across the floor. Singler and Henderson use their athletic gifts to offset their slender builds and rebound very well for wings. Unlike Syracuse, Duke's guards will also get after rebounds, and the result is a team that rebounds at a level closer to Pitt than to Syracuse.

To pile on, Duke also forces turnovers and draws fouls.

And they haven't lost at home to a non-conference foe this millennium, I don't think. (I know that's a junk stat. But it is an impressive one.)

But enough doom and gloom. The keys to the game, which I suspect are getting rather repetitive:

1. Rebound. Duke is much more a rebounding team than they are a three point shooting team. In fact, on the season, they don't shoot a much different percentage than the Hoyas. Scheyer is dangerous, and Henderson has been good in limited shots, but rebounding a bigger strength for the Blue Devils than shooting.
2. Active cutting on offense. Like in 2006, use the Blue Devils' aggressiveness against them. Sitting back on our heels and passing around the perimeter will lead to those lazy turnovers we love to commit. Passing forward and driving forward will create opportunities.

Like every individual game, this will likely come down to who makes shots. But while our offensive gameplan to beat this Duke is similar to 2006 despite their quickness improvements, our defensive gameplan has to acknowledge their ability this year to get on the boards.
