Recap: Georgetown 71, Louisville 68

Georgetown survived a late 11-point run by the Louisville Cardinals to pull out an impressive road win against the #4-ranked team in all the land to kick off Big East conference play.

I didn't get my hands on the Hoyas stats package until late tonight (thanks as always to Mex Carey for coming through in the clutch) so you'll get only a stats dump tonight.

The briefest of summaries:

• Hoya bench (Trawick, Hopkins) - good
• Otto Porter - very good
• Markel Starks - tremendous

(Edited to add some morning-after thoughts)

Having had a night to sleep on it, I'm beginning to wonder if last night's game isn't the perfect example of why Georgetown tends to struggle to live up to early season expectations.  The Hoyas were unconscious from behind the arc in the second half, and now delusion is running rampant.

The important stats to consider from last night were:

• Turnovers.  The Cardinals win by turning over their opponent - it fueled their late-game comeback.  Indeed, of Georgetown's 16 turnovers, 13 were by Louisville steals, i.e. live-ball turnovers.  The Hoyas entered last night's game having turned the ball over 17.3% of possessions, good for 25th nationally.  That trend was out of character for JT3-coached teams, who tend to be far too sloppy with the ball.  Last night's game may indicate that the team is regressing towards the mean now that the level of competition has improved.

• Outside shooting.  There are few better ways to punish an opponent than to make a high percentage of 3FGs.  The Cardinals are a great defensive team against inside shots [def 2FG% = 37.9%, 4th], but just mediocre against shots behind the arc [def 3FG% = 35.5%, 223rd].  The Princeton-variant offense that the Hoyas use is very good at generating open looks from deep, and Markel Starks and Hollis Thompson certainly took advantage.  But the Hoyas aren't going to shoot 64% from deep in most games, no matter how open they are.

• Defense. The Hoyas starters yesterday struggled a bit with the Cards version of the dribble-drive offense.  Nate Lubick especially ended with a poor defensive rating in limited minutes, but all the starters were at or above a defensive rating of 100 for the game.  But here, the Hoyas real strength this season came to the fore - the massive length that Coach Thompson can roll out from his bench.  Porter, Trawick, Whittington and Hopkins all got serious burn last night in their first conference road game, and all rated better than the starters defensively.  And that may be the key to the Hoyas' season:  for the first time since 2008, Coach Thompson may have - and trust - his bench.

Recap: Georgetown 62, Louisville 59

Picture from here.

I believe the expression is "adjustments were made at halftime."

After a defensive battle in the first half, the Hoyas broke the game open early in the second half only to watch the Louisville Cardinals crawl back in, and then take a lead of their own.

But Georgetown was not to be denied tonight, thanks to a Herculean effort by Chris Wright and a clutch 3FG by Hollis Thompson.

The Hoyas pulled it out in the end, 62-59.

The first half featured some excellent defense. On Louisville's end, they came out in a matchup zone that seemed to confound the Hoyas. Faced with this indeterminate defense that seemed to switch to man at times, the Hoyas became tentative and spent much of their offensive sets passing the ball around the perimeter before jacking up an ill-advised shot. Add in the usual smattering of sloppy turnovers, questionable offensive foul calls and some missed lay-ins and you can see how Georgetown ended up with only 22 points.

On the other side, though, Georgetown was fantastic in the first half. The guards stayed in front of Peyton Siva, who has been unstoppable of late. They were also extremely active in forcing turnovers -- there were a lot of slapped balls. The result was only 18 points for Louisville.

The second half was completely different. Both teams made adjustments; both teams began to shoot a bit better. On the Louisville side, either Pitino saw a weakness in the corner of the defense or the Hoyas got a bit tired. Either way, Louisville came back due to a series of threes, mostly from the corner. They also crashed the boards with impunity.

Georgetown began to jump-start its offense at the end of the first half, and it did it primarily in two ways. One, by getting Chris Wright out on the break, where he repeatedly creating easy points when nothing else was becoming easy. And secondly, by getting the ball into Julian Vaughn. Toss in the free throws down the stretch, and that's enough to overcome a bad set of turnovers at the end. Again.

Interestingly, Georgetown's good defense in the last couple of games has been by forcing jump shots instead of allowing lay-ins. This game, they did force jump shots, but the Hoyas allowed many more close shots than they had in previous games. Much of this seems due to the strong offensive rebounding by Louisville.

Where Louisville may have lost the game is that they couldn't make those close in shots, shooting only 8-16. Georgetown shot 13-19 in similar shots.

BE Game of the Day: Louisville 71, Marquette 70

While waiting for the Georgetown at Rutgers stats to post, I decided to run the stats for the Marquette and Louisville game.

Besides being a nice rivalry game from the Conference USA days, this game was most notable for the epic collapse/comeback (depending upon your rooting interest) in the last 5 minutes, as the Cardinals came back from 18 points down with 5:40 to play to win the game.

What's really amazing to me is that, while Marquette was outscored 24-5 in the last 11 possessions, the Golden Eagles only turned the ball over once in that stretch (and L'ville did the same). So that means that in the 10 effective possessions each team had, the Cardinals averaged 2.4 points per to Marquette's 0.5 ppp.

Everyone will likely focus on Dwight Buycks blocked layup attempt when Marquette could have held the ball to force a foul and free throws. But the entire endgame is worth recapping.

During that stretch, Louisville forced the Eagles to settle for 7 jump shots (two as 3FGA) out of 9 FGAs, of which 7 were missed and rebounded by the defense. Meanwhile, Louisville's shots from the floor were all layups or behind the arc, five attempts each.

The Cards went 4/5 on each set of those attempts.

But here's the kicker: on their only two misses, Terrence Jennings managed to grab the offensive rebound and draw a foul (whereupon he promptly sank all four free throws).

And it was a combination of all of those events which set up Kyle Kuric for the game-winning layup.

The entire stats package is after the jump, for the curious.

Deep bench, short rotation

JT3 subs in five players - documented! (Joseph Silverman / The Washington Times)

Alan's excellent post about likely minutes for the upcoming season got me thinking about John Thompson III's reputation for playing a short rotation.  I think this rep was developed in his first two seasons, when the cupboard was mostly bare beyond the first 6 or 7 players on the roster.  But now that he's been coaching the Hoyas for six seasons, I wonder if this reputation is myth or reality.

But before I can dig into the question of whether JT3 goes with fewer players than he should, I need to work through some basics and find a reasonable measuring stick.

First, we need to decide what constitutes being part of the rotation for a player, rather than just playing garbage minutes.  Next, we need to have some meaningful comparison of the size of Georgetown's rotation versus what other coaches/teams run.  Finally, we'll need to consider what to do about injured/suspended players and their effect on the rotation.

Recap: Georgetown 70, Louisville 60

In a 14-possession stretch starting the second half, the Hoyas went on a 24-3 to turn around and then break open a tough road game at Freedom Hall. Austin Freeman put up about the most efficient 29-point effort you'll likely ever see, and Edgar Sosa just didn't get much help out there tonight.

To be honest, I don't know if I'm as sanguine about this win as most Hoyas fans likely are, as Georgetown can't depend on an unconscious Freeman to show up for every second half (presumably he changes into his superhero outfit in the locker room at halftime).

The big shock tonight was the lack of offensive rebounding for the Cardinals in the game.  Louisville is the 9th best offensive rebounding team in the nation, and had failed to gather at least 30% of their own missed shots only three times all year:  two losses (W. Carolina [28%] and Pitt [28%]) and the 2-OT thriller against Notre Dame [29%].

Tonight they collected only five of their 30 missed shots, by far their worst outing of the year.  Obviously, Greg Monroe's 13 defensive rebounds had a lot to do with that, but take a look at the box score below:  every single Hoya grabbed at least 1 def. board while in the game.  Nice.

The first half was a combination of Georgetown missing a few more shots than they normally do, and Louisville avoiding turnovers so that they had a scoring attempt in every possession.  This held for most of the first half:  in the Cardinals first 23 possessions, they had no turnovers and 32 points (1.4 points per possession, for the math-challenged).  Meanwhile, the Hoyas were shooting 3/8 on layups and 4/11 on 2-pt jumpers in the half.  Monroe was dominating those attempts, as he shot only 5/13 from the floor against Samardo Samuels and company.  That was the most attempts in a half for Greg this season (previously his high was 11 against Mt. St. Mary's and UConn, both in the 2nd half).


In the Vesper half, shots began to drop for the Hoyas while the lid went on the Cardinals' basket (when they managed to get an attempt).  As I noted at the top, Georgetown went on a 24-3 run to open the second half.  While Austin Freeman was bombing it from behind the arc, including a deep three from the left elbow that looked suspiciously like a heat-check, Louisville committed four turnovers in their first 14 possessions, to go along with only 1/5 shooting on layups.

Suddenly, a 6-point deficit for the Hoyas was a 15-point lead and the rest, as they say, was history.

The player of the game, obviously, was Austin Freeman.  Freeman showed his innate ability to find his shooting touch and ride it for all its worth, but not just settling for outside shots in the process.  During the second half, he also made 2/3 2FGs and 5/5 FTs as he continually put pressure on the Cardinal defense.

Greg Monroe got his, albeit in a less efficient manner than Austin.  Monroe dominated first half possessions (using 35%) while forcing the action inside on 5/13 shooting.  It wasn't clear to me if this was a game strategy to try to get Samuels in foul trouble, but I wondered if the two were having some sort of personal battle within the game - they've known and played against each other since high school.  In the second half, Greg was much more willing to facilitate the offense (2/4 2FGs, 4 A) and play outstanding defense inside.  He also had a ridiculous no-look pass after drawing 3 defenders on a drive (linked at the bottom of the recap).

Chris Wright had a statistically poor game.  The question to ask is whether the stats are short-changing his effort tonight.  He was tasked with breaking the Louisville press, often by himself, which he did with ease.  He missed all four attempts from the field and committed 4 turnovers in the half-court offense, but also had four assists and made some clutch free throws late in the game.  He also seemed to receive some back-door cut passes late, when he was too deep under the basket to score.  I doubt Chris is overly pleased with his game, but his patience in not forcing the action in the second half should be commended.

I have a bone to pick with Jason Clark.  With about 90 seconds left in the game and nursing a 7-point lead, the Hoyas easily broke the press and turned down a 2-on-1 opportunity to run offense and burn time.  But with 15 seconds still on the shot clock, Jason decided to launch a deep 3FG that missed and gave the Cardinals a chance to close it to a 4-pt game.  They didn't, and that was the game, but I would like to think Clark will recognize what a bad shot choice that was.  Interestingly, the shot was from about the same spot on the floor that he missed against Syracuse late, a shot that I've argued was a great choice.  It's all about time and situation, as the cliche goes.

Julian Vaughn had another quiet game, and had some trouble on defense as well.  I'm beginning to think that Vaughn is showing signs of fatigue more than the other starters.  His bobble and soft layup off of the crazy Monroe assist would have been a catch-and-flush earlier this year, I suspect.

The bench had a tremendous first half, chipping in for 10 points in a variety of ways:  Hollis Thompson hit 2 3FGs, Jerrelle Benimon had a great spin and reverse layup, and Vee Sanford - hopefully playing in front of some family - knocked down a couple of FTs while playing lock-down defense.

Recap: Louisville 76, Georgetown 58

Well, this isn't much fun anymore. If you're looking for a meltdown, head on over to HoyaTalk.

I don't have too much to say about tonight's game, other than it was - statistically - the worst game of the year for the Hoyas. Worse than the Pitt game, where DeJuan Blair did whatever he wanted; worse than the Tennessee game, where Cameron Tatum likely had the game of his life, all in the last 6:00; and even worse than the West Virginia game, where the Mountaineers made sure to squeeze out the largest margin of victory possible.

Now a large reason for this being the worst game of the season is that Louisville was completely unconscious from deep, making 8 of their first 10 3FGA. That's gonna tend to skew Georgetown's defensive numbers. But the Hoyas also played poor offensively, even accounting for the customarily stellar Louisville defense.


All of this comes from the Performance Charts I update weekly (and now updated through tonight's game). If you have a look at the overall performance for the Hoyas this season (reproduced here), its clear that a sea change took place between the UConn and Pitt games.



After the UConn game, KenPom.com rated Georgetown the best team in the country. The Hoyas have been sliding down the ratings / rankings ever since, but that early season run is still skewing the overall computer numbers for the season, along with the expectations for Hoya fans going into each game.

If I look only at the 15 games played in 2009 (Pittsburgh forward), I can recalculate G'town's Pythagorean rating (per KenPom): Georgetown would rank 65th (with a rating = 0.814), just behind Siena (and 2 places ahead of Maryland), well off the NCAA bubble.


There's no cut-and-dry explanation for the free-fall - the defense has been mostly poor since the UConn game, with Georgetown defending better than expected only in the Rutgers and S. Florida games. But, if you'll forgive a fitted line, it looks like the defense has actually been trending worse all season:



For an eight game stretch between the Pitt and first Cincinnati games, the D was mediocre but never horrible. Since, there have been two strong performances (the aforementioned Rutgers and USF games), an average game (2nd game vs. Cinci) and four lousy efforts, including three of the last four. I don't see any common thread to account for the results from game-to-game, but would be happy to hear any suggestions. Pomeroy's analysis suggests all four factors contribute.


Offense, to me, is only slightly less troubling. Here, to my eye, there is a distinct declining trend since either the Maryland romp or soon afterward:



It looks like the offense declined strongly in December and January, and has now plateaued. For the middle part of the season, the offense was the great-unknown from game-to-game, leading to the blow-out win against Syracuse and the blow-out loss against West Virginia. Unfortunately, the defense has recently become even more unpredictable, making each game a crapshoot at best.


If you combine the two fitted lines and apply them to overall performance for this season since the Maryland game, you get this:



Not a pretty picture. If it's any consolation, it appears that the Hoyas may have finally hit bottom. We can only hope.


Well, that's all for tonight. I'll update the stats pages tomorrow.
