AP Preview on the Hoyas: How Much Longer Do We Have To Relive Last Year?

SI.com published the AP's preview on Georgetown and although I'm sure most (if not all) of their quotes are from media day, there's some good quotes in there.

From Coach:

"From the top on down - down to the guy who cleans the gym - we can find a reason how someone, all of us, could have done something different,'' the coach said. "You go through that process of introspection. You try to adjust, you try to tweak, you try to change.''

A couple of good ones from Chris Wright:

"(Greg Monroe) needs to understand - and I think he's doing a lot better of job of understanding - when to take over games. Because he has the power to take over any game whenever he wants to,'' Wright said. "So it's just a matter of him knowing, 'When the game is on the line, we need you to score, Big Fella. We don't need you kicking it out.'''

"We all know last year was a tough year. Like any other team, we go through our ups and downs. It's crazy to say because we had one bad season, that's the downfall of Georgetown basketball,'' Wright said. "We had one bad season. We're going to bounce back. And we're going to come this year prepared, ready to play. Last year's over with.''

Of course, they also managed to put last season's collapse in blunt perspective:

Two seasons removed from a Final Four appearance, Georgetown got off to a 10-1 start and was ranked as high as No. 9 in the AP Top 25 poll after beating Connecticut in January. But the Hoyas lost 12 of their final 16 games, including a first-round exit from the National Invitation Tournament, and wound up 16-15.

I didn't forget how badly the second half of last year went, but when it is written out like that it really puts it into perspective how much they struggled last year. I think everyone would agree with me when I say that I am really glad last season is over and we don't have to relive it for much longer. (You know, assuming that this season doesn't repeat last).
