Well apologies for no post-game yesterday, we'll try extra hard this week to post while watching Georgetown play at NOON. Awful, awful awful Big East Tourney draw, but Georgetown did what it had to do to ensure itself a first round bye. Good news is that we ended the regular season on a win, Syracuse did not. Therefore we are better than them. Right?
Not much post-game coverage of the early game but we'll have more on the Big East Tourney later.

Georgetown Junior Guard Austin Freeman On how he felt during the game ... I'm fine, I'm fine. It was just good to be out there again and to play with my teammates and just doing what I do. It was a lot of fun to be out there. On the crowd's support ... I was happy to have their support out there. It got me going out there. I want to thank them a lot too.

A young team with an inexperienced and short bench loses its most consistent and best shooter before facing a highly ranked and experienced foe in a hostile and emotional environment. Sounds like an awesome script for the Mighty Ducks IV. To make matters worse, this young team did not even partake in its usual pre-game warmups because many players on the team were ill. That sums up last night's game folks, no need to read what the press had to say, unless you enjoy being abused.
Is the above an excuse for Georgetown's play last night? No - Georgetown played horribly in the first half and dug themselves a hole they could not climb out of, despite a valiant second half attempt to do so. Is the above all the more reason why losses to Rutgers and South Florida are inexcusable? Yes. Sh-t Happens. Players get injured, get ill, miss games, etc. If it weren't for those two losses to sub-par teams, Georgetown would be in contention for a double-bye in the Big East Tournament instead of fighting not to play in the dreaded Tuesday games. I know JT3 likes to take things one game at a time but maybe he should also stress how mid-season letdowns have drastic effects on post-season glory.
Now the fun stuff:

Way to ruin a perfectly good headband day, Georgetown.
Post Game Quotes - GEORGETOWN OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE
Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III On today's loss... "To say today is disappointing would be an understatement. It's extremely disappointing. Now, Notre Dame played extremely well. They shot the ball extremely well. I don't happen to know what the numbers are but the open shots they got they put in; the contested shots they got they put in. So they did a good job of coming out and doing what they had to do. We made a little run there in the second half and then as soon as we got it to four, I don't remember the exact time line, but I feel like they got 2 or 3 three's, they got fouled shooting a three, you know right when we got close they extended it. So that's with the players that's what the teams do."

Yeah, that sucked. Read the articles but try not to get too enamored with this moral victory poppycock. We lost and are now in sole possession of sixth place in the Big East.
Post Game Quotes - GEORGETOWN OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE
Georgetown University Head Coach John Thompson III Opening Statement ... I'm proud of our guys. Losing is hell and after a loss there is nothing but misery and pain, and there is misery and pain right now. But I'm proud of how our guys responded and in no way this program, this team does not believe in moral victories, but I'm just proud of our guys. I think that is a very good team that played very well tonight. We dug a whole for ourselves and fought and had a shot to win, but that's the way the ball bounces.

Georgetown has letdown at Rutgers - washingtonpost.com
"As a group we have to get to a point where every game is tough," Hoyas Coach John Thompson III said, "every single, solitary game is tough, particularly on the road, and we have to come with a certain level of attentiveness in [the Big East]. Every team is talented. Every team is well-coached. Every game, every day, you have to be at the top of your game to win."

Sweet lax high-fives to all the students that braved the blizzard and made it to the Irish Channel Pub, and the game I guess. As you can see from the last response in the below video, Coach Thompson was incredibly appreciative of the effort.

Georgetown vs. Villanova Quotes - GEORGETOWN OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE
Coach Thompson On the crowd... "It was unbelievable. It was, if you've been listening to all the reports, the worst storm since the Knickerbocker storm in the 1920's. For everyone to come out, it's truly appreciated. We feed off our crowd and to see the effort they made to get down here we want to thank them. We had thought can we reschedule this game because we were worried about our fans and everyone's safety, but there was no date where it would have worked. ..I hope they can get home safely, but it's truly appreciated."

Not sure what JT3 said to the team in the locker room after the loss to South Florida, but I wish he would have gotten on the PA system at Verizon and said it to all fans, the few that actually showed up. Tweets from players acknowledge the loss, and state it is time to move on. Wish it was that easy for the rest of us.
AFree_15 Ok gotta get ready for Nova now...come in 2morrow work hard.....how we gon act!!!...#LetsGoHoyas
G_Monroe10 There are highs and then there this. Can't dwell, #ontothenextone Pray Hard, PLay Harder.

Here is what others said after the loss, a combination of South Florida is actually pretty good and Georgetown is really not that good.
