(Perspectives After The Jump)

Star-divide

View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:

It is incredibly difficult to beat the same team twice in one year. Not to mention a team that is out for blood after losing to us at home by 20. This St. John's team really needs a win and will come out hungry for one. At the same time, Georgetown will certainly be fired up to try and get back on track after a bizarre and depressing ending at Syracuse on Wednesday. Hoping that Markel Starks' GUSA campaign will lead to a consistently impressive end to the season. Would also love to see Henry Sims have a big game, after having a rough time up in Canada. Bottom line the Hoyas need this game to stay on pace for a top-4 finish. Let's go out and get it. We Go Hard In The MotherF*ckin Paint Movement since 2012.

View from the Court Side Seats - A Perspective from OldHoya:

Other than the rivalry against Syracuse, OldHoya thinks the Hoyas-Redmen games are the best and he very much enjoyed his trip up to New York to watch the Hoyas beat St John's last month. That victory was made all the better as it was followed by a nice meal at one of Mario Batali's overpriced Italian restaurants which was washed down with copious amounts of Chianti Classico.

OldHoya hopes the Hoyas can play with the intensity they showed against the Orange for the rest of the season, and wants to celebrate what should be an easy win over this St. John's vintage with a nice light beer at Gordon Biersch in Chinatown to build his tolerance in preparation for the Casual Extravaganza at the end of the month

View from the Enemy- A Perspective from our Sleeping With The Enemy Interview:

I see a beating. I see the ref coming to center court to mercy rule it. Kidding. The Johnnies will have competitive moments, get blocked a lot, show some fight late, and lose by about 20.

JahidiLikesPie Nervous Level:

 LOW

Not really nervous about this game. SJU is beginning to look like one of the more unhinged teams in the country this year. They play teams tough that they shouldn't and look terrible against teams that should be a good matchup. I will not be making it to the game, but I am certain that our home arena will be as well attended as a D-League game. The only positive takeaway is that I will be spending around 25% of the cost of a Stella TO DRINK THE SAME BEER. The downside is that I will go back to my 331st home improvement project IMMEDIATELY after the game ends. Hoooo-ray!

View from the Sportsbook (via DonBest) - A Perspective from Vegas:

The Line: Georgetown -15.5. Over/under 129.

After a rough start in Big East play, the Hoyas are amazingly 3-0 ATS in their last three games though still just 2-4 ATS at Verizon. 15.5 points is not exactly a line that screams "take the Hoyas" and I have to think that a lazy Sunday game at Verizon isn't exactly going to bring the best out of the boys coming off the riveting display against Syracuse. Can the Hoyas beat St. John's by 16? Obviously - been there done that. But I'm still not comfortable throwing my lady lumps against a team that can be down 20 in the final minute and still cover.

The pick is St. John's +15.5. Final score Hoyas 71 - Johnnies 58.

Casual Hoya is 12-10-1 ATS this season.
Last season: 18-14.
Overall 52-32-1.

Can we send a copy of that article to all prospective recruits?

Great article all around, but I especially liked the details about Otto’s experience in Kenner. I don’t know anything about other college summer leagues, but I have to imagine that the opportunity to get to play against so many NBA players is pretty unique. Otto’s story about playing Durant is pretty cool.

Are you repeatedly dropped on your fucking head?

Do you remember the Craig Esherick era? Was that part of your 30 year fandom? Or is your 30 year fandom 1983-1984 30 times in a row?

I will probably die of massive heart failure and an aneurysm at the same time.

okay, now that we did get a shot of the cheerleaders

Lubick

7/6/4 might be our best player so far this game

by HoyaBuckets on Feb 12, 2012 2:38 PM EST reply actions  

Ok there was no foul there

he drove into the defender, then faded back and was not touched on his fade back jumper

When that cheetah

turns back and heads toward that guy, why doesn’t he just jump inside the cage and shut the door?

He's trying to race a cheetah against a car

Obviously not capable of that level of critical thinking

As someone

who has criticized Lubick a fair bit this season, I feel like I owe it to him to acknowledge that he’s been great today. Love watching this.

is that accurate???

Can't imagine how pissed JT3 is at Clark 3

Have to burn clock at this stage of the game, even if you’re wide open like that.

the freshmen

does anyone have any faith that any of the freshmen can shoot from outside? if not ur offense is going to need to change because it depends on outsde shooting.

by ibexrider on Feb 12, 2012 2:51 PM EST via Android app reply actions  

Whittington?

Sometimes Trawick?

by aja32 on Feb 12, 2012 2:53 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah they just need to get stronger..

Their form is good just don’t have the strength to make it consistently from deep yet.. And particularly in the case of Whitt sometimes aiming it from deep rather than just shooting with confidence. He looked great today shooting it though, no hesitation, and knocked down some big shots..

by yaboynyp on Feb 12, 2012 3:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Ok, now just please don't increase the lead to sixteen points

Is that too much to ask?

Do you remember

how bad this team was at shooting 3s last time we played them?

by timmadrid on Feb 12, 2012 2:56 PM EST reply actions  

It took till 32 seconds left to get our first mention of the non-Princeton offense.

The announcers couldn’t let that escape from the Georgetown fact sheet for ONE game.

Disappointed we didn't foul out more of their team

And earlier. Could have really opened things up.

What are these assertions!?

Every point Whittington had today was in a big moment.. Huge game

Lubick was a beast. St Johns came to play, they made some crazy shots..
