Recap: Georgetown 63, Providence 53

This was called a foul by Nate Lubick.
I mean, Kadeem Batts took his head clear off!
The Georgetown Hoyas led wire-to-wire in an evening affair at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, 63-53.

It's fairly tonight before I was able to get the stats for the game, so I don't think I'll be able to offer much of a recap for the game.  Just a few quick thoughts:
  • Providence shot a woeful 4/28 in the first half [3/20 2FG, 1/8 3FG]. All those misses meant that, while they got a lot of offensive rebounds (nine), they only grabbed 36% of their available missed shots. Since 33% is typical, the defensive rebounding by the Hoyas in the first half wasn't nearly as bad as you thought.
  • The best player on the floor for Georgetown was Jason Clark, who seemed to be able to knock down a needed shot whenever the Friars were able to get the game close.
  • Nate Lubick looked strong [8 pts, 3 ast, 0 TO] in his limited time on the floor, and yes he was subject to one of the worst calls by an official this season. But it should also be pointed out that the other three fouls he committed in the game were legitimate, and serve as a bit of a concern. His offense has improved from a disaster to serviceable and now to useful, especially on a team that struggles to score. It's incumbent upon Nate to avoid the silly fouls that will limit his time.
  • Hollis Thompson struggled with his shot all night [3/9 2FG] but still walked off the court having made half his deep shots [2/4 3FG]. He also grabbed ten rebounds [2 OR, 8 DR] to earn a double-double.
  • Once again, the Hoyas missed a lot of free throws [14/23 FT] including the front end on three of their four one-and-one attempts. It's hard to envision all the points left at the free throw line not coming back to bite this team.
  • As dunks seem to be of great concern on HoyaTalk these days, it should be noted that the Hoyas out-dunked the Friars 3-2.
  • Vincent Council shot 4/15 from the floor in the game at the Verizon Center; tonight he shot 4/14. I'm guessing he'll be happy to not see the Hoyas again this year.
