Backing Into A Bye: Georgetown Hits Rock Bottom, Loses 69-47 At Cincinnati

Should I use it for something useful like toilet or rolling paper? Or should I just light it on fire?

Acceptable answers include Blake Lively, Charlie Sheen, or John Thompson, Jr. Anything less would be uncivilized.

Really jonesing for choice spot in the Vieux Carre right now. Off to store to buy sixer of Restoration for a non-NOLA and really sad Mardi Gras party

The article is right…Hoyas are not very good without CW. But, they are not all that great with him either. Most of their conference wins were by a SLIM margin…they certainly did not dominate. Games without him showed total lack of depth and poise. Sims and Benimon have been little to no help since joining the team. If Clark and Thompson have a bad game (way too many of them) we have no chance. Freeman can’t carry the whole team on his back!

I’ve been following this team for 30 years and though I’ll never give up, there is something wrong with this program. Look at what St. John’s has done this season and moreover, what about their recruits for next year? They are going to dominate in another 1-2 years. Where will the Hoyas be?

Everyone on this board keeps mocking me and your wrong. UNC lost their PG mid season. What did they do? Plug in a McDonald’s all american in Marshall and become an even better team than they were. Gtown loses our PG mid season what do we do? TANK. Starks may be a great player down the road, but as a freshmen the lower recruits will not be able to contribute the same way highly rated recruits generally will. Fab Melo sucks I know. Not every case is true, but in general they are the same as freshmen as they were as HS seniors. When was the last time you saw a guy go from less than 3 stars to the NBA in one year? Thats an extremem example, but you get the point.

You could even take it a step further and say Starks should not have to start if ANY of the other guards could run the point. You can’t win with 1 viable PG on the entire roster. Recruiting has as much to do with depth as it does your stars. Teams with consistently high ranked classes have a lot of talent on the bench. Other schools fill the bench with JuCo transfers and 3 star or less recruits. Duke, UNC, Kansas have benches that could probably beat half the schools in the country. Us? …we have Benimon

……is not flexible to available talent and opponents. We have not played great defense the last few games but opponents have shot in the low 40% range. WE SHOULD WIN THOSE GAMES……….and I do not care who is on the floor. Injuries happen. We need to be able to win with the players we have………..not just the top 5 who start the game. Other teams work though injuries. God knows that we are so much better off than a few short years ago when Nikita and Omar were our top bench options. I think that we have the talent, but it is so muzzled by the “system”. How else can one explain the ridiculous shooting percentages that we have experienced over the past few games. No confidence. Fear. Just listen to coach who is silent on the sidelines. No one stepping up. Afraid to. We will lose on Wednesday and then we will lose in the first round of the NCAAs. Season done. How sad. When will we recruit or develop leaders. How many games were Hibbert and Green (both solid NBA players) taking 4-6 shots? Why? Deference to the “system”? The best leader we had over the past 6 years was probably JWall. And I watched us lose 2 NCAA games with JWall sitting down at the end of the game. For defensive or offensive roation reasons. At some point, it is just about heart and desire. Not the damn system.

With huge paranoia,
