Recap: Georgetown 67, Villanova 46

It was a "Gray Out" today at the Verizon Center, as the Hoyas stellar defense returned in their 67-46 victory over the Villanova Wildcats.

We're not going to offer much of a recap for the game, just some bullets:
  • The big story was Markel Starks getting benched. My guess - offered on the Casual Hoya game thread - was that this stemmed from the end-of-game effort by Starks at Seton Hall. There was certainly some sort of confrontation between Coach and Starks at that time. Hopefully it is now all water under the bridge.
  • Otto Porter was back in the starting lineup for Markel. In his first career start (against DePaul), Otto had a poor game with missed shots and turnovers; not today. Porter had a solid line across the board. One criticism - he loves that 16-18 ft. jump shot. My biggest wish for the off-season is that he (1) develops the range to take that shot from behind the arc, and (2) develops his handle so he can take a bounce or two to get closer to the rim. That is all.
  • This was Henry Sims best game since South Florida (also a blowout). Henry still had too many turnovers [3], but he took smart shots and gather four of the Hoyas own missed shots.
  • In spite of shooting a combined 1-9 on 3FGs, Hollis Thompson and especially Jason Clark did what upperclassmen do - they adjusted their game to take advantage of what was working (getting in the paint). Hollis' free throw stroke is making me sad, though.

Let's run the numbers:

  1. Agree on Otto's jumper. 10-15' he is very very good, but it gets much more iffy and frankly more of a no-mans land in the 16-18' range.
