(Perspectives After the Jump)

Star-divide

View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:

I am so confused by our Hoyas. It is almost like we flip a coin before each game and decide whether we want to win or not. I am tired of losing to every crappy team we face. That is why I am happy that we are playing against West Virginia, because that leaves us with a chance of winning. However, we have been not looking good lately and I hope that someone can get us out of this slump; I am confident one of our players will rise to the occasion.

The big question will be whether or not our guys can play in an arena where you are constantly getting bombarded with not only words but also whatever projectiles students can find, from banjos to quarters to moonshine bottles. Honestly, it is as if they are modeling themselves after Syracuse. Words are fine (like telling Coach Brey up close and personal that the turtleneck fashion disaster he has going on makes him look like a complete schmuck), but throwing coins and bottles is just stupid.

However, right now I am more upset at our student section, the turnout for the Notre Dame game was fine, but if people stand silently we have no home court advantage at all. If the players look out at their fans and see a few screaming idiots (which I am perfectly fine calling myself) amid a sea of stoic faces, there is little to rally behind. I will be optimistically watching the West Virginia game at Tombs praying for a win (and the safety of our players). Hoya Saxa!

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

OldHoya doesn't have many kind words for West Virginia, especially after they ruined the reputation of the Big East by hiring a guy like Huggins.  However, OldHoya does enjoy putting on his old coonskin cap every now and again when it gets cold out, and he promises that if Georgetown can manage to win this one without Freeman that he'll be drinkin' some moonshine all night long.

OldHoya also enjoyed Deliverance, especially the dueling banjos.

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

The Line: West Virginia -5.5. Over/Under 141.

The line opened as the above but with the news of Austin Freeman's absence has increased to -6.5.  More impressively, the over/under has dropped a whopping 4.5 points to 136.5.  Good thing Teddy got in at 141.

Without Freeman the Hoyas are toast.  WVU clinches a double bye in the Big East Tournament with a win, and there's no reason I can see they won't be laying the smacketh down on the Hoyas' candy asses all night long in Morgantown.  In the last 3 years, Georgetown is 20-37 ATS against teams in the Big East.

The pick is WVU -5.5 with a final score of Brokeback Mountaineers 72 - Hoyas 63.

On the season:

The Hoyas are currently 12-11 ATS.

Georgetown is 5-3 ATS on the Road, 5-8 ATS at Home, and 2-0 on Neutral Courts.

Casual Hoya is 16-7 ATS

Just spoke with OldHoya

He confirms that Patrick Ewing Jr. blocked the shot and did not goaltend. Unbiased observation.

Seriously...

…why wasn’t the story on that how Patrick Ewing Jr. can block shots at their perfect apex…s? (How do you pluralize apex? Apex-en?) Like, I think geometry teachers should write a word problems on parabolas based on that.

Where in the shot should the Sixth Man of the Year hit the ball if he wants to maximize opponent rage while minimizing rule violation?

Show your work.

Stuck at work

WORST DAY EVER

You could be stuck at work in a place like Morgantown

That would be the worst day ever

Are there places to work in Morgantown?
Only the DMV and Liquor Stores are hiring.
http://www.bls.gov/data/

1. Scoreboard
2. Morgantown unemployment: 4.5
3. DC unemployment: 12.1

I am shocked by the 6.5 point line

if I had a betting account, this is one of those times, when I really might “empty the bank account” to make some easy money to temper the disappointment I am sure to feel later tonight

austin will be missed.. lets go hoyas pull through

I am 14-9 ATS.

And I am PICKING THE HOYAS AND TAKING THE POINTS. Georgetown +5.5 is a lock.

senior night

the crowd should be well-behaved right?

Austin is faking an illness

So he doesn’t get hit in the head by a folding chair.

tonight

gotta clean the glass. giving up second chance points is deflating especially on the road. team doctor predicts a close one.

especially when wvu shoots and misses so many threes
awesome

our team has mono

they have shot a three on every possession!
awful pass by clark

just awful

awful foul on clark

way to stay on the court with freeman out

ANOTHER AWFUL PASS BY CLARK
What is wrong with him
I thought you were at work?
I am
his job is watching the Hoyas

amateur hour.

He is not very good at it.
I'm like right here man
the ghost of jessie sapp still in that jersey
is this where we look lost on offense

that time of the game

what is offense?
it looks like we're playing defense when we're on offense
At least

We can shoot FTs

hooray

a foul shot

We planning on hitting a free throw today?
jason clark clearly infected
I'm glad

CW is guarding Ebanks. Good matchup for us.

jason clark is awful right now. awful
well there was that shot

followed by a foul

jason clark is awesome
Standing still on the wing

is not offense.

the diarrhea bug

is seemingly running rampant in the hoyas locker room

Over/under on how many people in the arena have all of their real teeth? 45%?? 52%??

Chris Wright

is doing nothing

You gotta call that

Man, this looks like it could be pretty bad. Hopefully they make something happen and pull out a miracle.

Let’s go hoyas

Chris!!!

Bad shot selection, Wright.

I wonder

If CW would shoot better without that absurd arm sleeve

I wonder

If he would shoot better if he didn’t suck

at least he looks good missing
wright

Is going to get a vasquez number of attempts tonight

Situation
Now
All
Fucked
Up

25 pt loss

well let's just make it respectable
at least he looks good missing
at least

Cahill is consistent

Don't give up so easily people.

We got a chance here. If Jason Clark strokes a three or two, we are right back in this. But we need to shut down the paint and give them no second chances.

do you realize what blog you're commenting on?
you were saying????
I'm here to give hope...like Obama.
flood gates

OPEN

Oh shit.

What the hell happened?

Boy that escalated quickly
yeah

really got out of hand

I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?

Brick killed a guy

Did you throw a trident?

It jumped up a notch

Yeah, DeSean Butler stabbed a man in the heart.

butler has 12 points

gtown has 16

STOP TALKING ABOUT CUSE DAMMIT
BoatsNHoes?

Love the name man. You a part of crew back at G’Town.

Monroe looking like a lottery pick
EVERYONE SUCKS
We are just not a good team right now

Feeling more and more like last year

We can beat either Providence or Cincy in BE first round.

Right? Right guys?

EVERYONE HAS DIARRHEA

monroe runnign the point...
my spelling is as bad as that strategy
Lazy perimeter passes really suck

They are really annoying.

And super annoying that Henry is once again the culprit of one.
Why can't we make a simple pass to the wing?

There’s been like 4 of those already.. Henry once again has the deer in headlights look

bright side

the requisite henry sims awful pass is out of the way. things can only get better.

Good Observation, Casual!
bilas obsessed with monroe's feet

he’s going to convince some NBA GM with a high pick of the same and that GM will be fired within 2 years

Need to get it within 10
requires transition D
we give up?

or Chris Wright gave up?

wrong is of the opinion

That we get points for attempts

did i say wrong?

I meant wright.

This is a nightmare on gamecast
Nightmare on TV too
embarassment
This is brutal

Chris is jacking up 3s and driving uncontrollably to the basket… We could lose this one by 40

does Chris Wright get 4 points

for giving up 2 transition layups?

can we raise the Silver jerseys as a whilte flag
this is so unbearable

get on the bus, forget about the second half.

what do you think Freeman did?
unVEElievable
10 more of those..

And we’re right back in it!!!

Vee Sanford

His shooting motion is really weird….not complaining. Just kinda weird.

I’m going to do three Saki Bombs at half to try and soothe the anguish right now! I invite you all to do the same.

The flu

We’re literally & figuratively shitting all over ourselves.
My ass is bleeding

Is it Friday already?
vee

shoots free throws like he is playing flip cup. no complaints though.

Digger

could you be any more of a homer?

Emelio Estevez half time speech is needed.

Are you still friends with the blog?

Because we’re still friends with you

diapers

are needed for the second half

Good news

We’re outrebounding them.

Bad news:

We have 12 turnovers.

bad news: we're down almost 20? sans freeman
CW is 1-7 from the field.

Better than I thought.

He will revert to the mean in the second half.

and be 0-7.

8 assists on 9 field goals

Princeton offense, baby! We’re on a roll!

Effing cuse is #1 and our season...

Is on the verge of collapse… Is there any justice in the world?? According to pitino, I thought God was a Georgetown fan?

Sleepyhoya said the same thing

And we know how that worked out.

I missed that..

Thanks for the update.. That’s some dissertation..

Gtown Women

up 41-15 right now. Is there a www.casualladyhoya.com blog? I would like to sign up for that one.

i'll write for it
III

talking with chvotkin before the game saying guys were puking and shitting during practice yesterday. the puking and shitting has continued into this evening. how many toilets are available in the visiting locker room?

Seriously?
the food in the cafeteria has always been awful
yes

well he didnt saying puking and shitting, but that he looked over and two guys had their heads in trash cans and others were running to the bathroom.

That makes me feel better about tonight actually

BUT WHO POISONED THE TEAM

ghost of Nikita?
A black cheerleader? In Morgantown? Who woulda thought?
Not a foul there against Julian
when wright is 1-7 for the half

why is he talking the first two shots of the half

How else do you get to 11-17?
in fairness

when he doesn’t shoot someone else just turns it over

This is really bad

What has happened to Jason? Another horrible pass

this team has

The heart of a lion

we look like a dog chasing its shadow on defense
Crowd estimate

For Saturday vs. Cinci?? Not a charge there against hollis

the only thing that would make this worse

is casualhoya nemesis ryan dougherty getting some burn tonight

anything else you guys want to talk about?

American Idol maybe?

health care bill?
bachelor finale

Might watch that instead

nothing like

A mcdonough riff to go with this @ss reaming

If there is a gun in JahidiLikesPie's house

Mrs. JahidiLikesPie will likely hear a loud noise coming from the den this evening, and it won’t be someone throwing an empty beer bottle at the TV

lip reading is fun
23 point deficit

The magical number vs. Cuse. Of course that was an L too.

FREE

Vee!!!

10-1 run.
12-1

Huggins SCREAMING at his team. Using many of the words he used when he was drunk with itsallthatmatters

just said wtf are you doing?
My ESPN360 crapped out

And we go on a run

I’ll take that as a sign that I wasn’t meant to watch this game

refresh the page. keeps happening to me.

georgetown UIS doesn’t want me to see the game apparently.

signs of life

Fat elvis is mad

Huggins

Did not appear to like that last shot by Ebanks

You mean

Vee coulda been doing this all year, yet he was sitting on the bench??? Unreal..

Well, it is still February. Razer thin roster +1
Vee Sanford:

Why don’t we effing play him more often?

EVERYONE PUT ON YOUR HEADBANDS

i'm wearing it inside out

the embroidery on the new ones is really itchy

The original headbands (pictured above) are awesome

The new ones are junk. Yeah. I said it.

GREG HAS 3 FOULS

Headband=off

it appears

that vee is diarrhea-free

monroe killing us on last three possessions
17 turnovers

Nice dribbling by greg

Definitely ready for the big league

I am too sober for this.

My highlight of the night...was my buffalo chicken sandwhich, sadly.
On a beautiful afternoon

In Huntington beach, I am sitting in a hotel bar watching this crap… Yes, I have issues.. Time to tie one on

OHH THE PAIN IT HURTSSS

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

SomebodyBuyAustinSomeChickenNoodleSoup

definitely

we stink without austin

Time to empty the bench

Let’s give the white kids a few minutes. Hell, I bet even Evan Chvotkin could hit a few free throws.

at least we're not texas, right?

Was just thinking the same thing

Chris Wright hit a jump shot??

how could this be?.

arm sleeve must be defective
Does anybody have a homemade recipe for Paxel?
shark sandwich?

more like shit sandwich

This game goes to 11
Sanford

Plays with a confidence that the other freshman and bench players don’t. This game has proven that he should be the first person off the bench.

This ref

Sucks ass.. There was no way that was off benimon

wow a whistle our way

not that we have any right to complain

True Story

Chris ran into Benimon’s ass

2 threes and we are actually in this
Is this the point where "cynical meets delusional"?
didnt you see the shawshank quote earlier?
Also, Wright is competing very hard

I like that

agreed. a good fight but a loss is okay. don't quit.
It is a miracle

That this is only a 13 point game

how many people

In that arena could point out Turkey on the map?

how many are married to their cousins?
Come on now

Big possession here

Sign of the Times

Does Georgetown Joker make signs for away games as well as home? If not ,we need one.

Only when I go to them...

…I’m also still nursing the loss on Saturday. My poor Notre Dame throwback sign (remake of the one I brought to our BET 2007 game as a senior) was left in a Verizon Center trashcan.

Signs for last night:

“What’s the big deal? We’re always SICK”

“Austin Freeman doesn’t get the flu…the flu gets Austin Freeman”

“WVU is like school on Sunday. No class.”

Big props to Mr. Bill Cosby on that last one.

Come on fellas!!!!
CW just shit on himself.
fuuuuuuuuuudge
Wow

Chris

...and there goes the comeback.
Monroe

Was not pleased with benimon there

JClark playing some football
love the hustle
Needed

that shot by Greg to go

WRIGHT?!?!

Why take that 3?!?

Is it time to start Stanford over Wright...

Answer is yes. Wright shot us right out of this game.

That is insane.

Does Chris Wright shoot a lot? Yes. And he has 17 points. Sanford has 9 points on 100 pct shooting. But he’s only taken three shots. Great. Let’s start him and lose by 50 every game because he has to wait for every look at the basket to be hand delivered by an usher from the upper-deck.

wright

was probably the best player on gtown tonight. some ill-advised shots, sure. but he also had 21 pts, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, with only 2 of our 20 turnovers while handling the ball 75% of the time. at least 6 of monroe’s points came on wide open layups in the last 5 minutes on passes from wright. we lose that game by 40 without him.

Benimon's black shoes

Remind me of Napoleon Dynamite’s moon boots. I only wish that he could perform a really awesome time out dance skit and win us the game like Napoleon won Pedro the election.

Any reason why

We consistently shit the bed in the 1st half, then make strong second half runs??

Wright is never scared to take the 3 with 25 still on the shot clock
way to kill the momentum

With another ill-advised NBA three, WRIGHT!

That should just about do it...

On the flipside, not to brown nose or anything, but I love the site fellas… Much more entertaining than hoyatalk..

Thank Casual for starting the "GLOBAL PHENOMENON"
please email

Jeffgreensdad@gmail.com and he will send you your check.

All I want is the headband

I was in the channel after the cuse game, but I was so overwhelmed by the orange douchebags, I couldn’t get to you guys

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY

he dunked it

Excellent pass there by vee
Is throwing up an air ball on a 3 pt shot

some sort of initiation ritual on this Hoya team…… Sims two games ago….. Sanford tonight…. Thompson earlier in the season….

whatever happened to doing shots at Third Edition?

they just got their liquor license removed.
True

But only temporarily. I think they’re going to be open this wednesday/thursday.

Probably not a good idea anyway...

too much booze causes diarrhea….

Oh wiat, our team already has that,,,,,

I think that its some sort of tribute

to Mescheriakov…… except this cast goes for air balls as opposed to hitting the top of the backboard

Some sort of illness running through this team...

like losing?

they got back in this without our best player. i'm impressed.
screw that

morale victories mean nothing

COME ON

Their leading scorer is ON HIS DEATH BED. They fought back to under ten on a very hostile court. Give the kids a break. They’re great kids. I wish them well.

I wish you and Mother Theresa well then.
this "comeback"

is window dressing, I’ll puke and shit if III claims they were anything but blown out in this one.

tale of two halves

we should seriously consider simulating a half before tip off. that way we dont come out so DEAD for the FIRST 20 MINUTES

10 losses now

SHEEEETTTTTT!!!

6-7 since mid-January

still doesn’t smell like 08-09????

no because we have beaten good teams in that span
we beat Syracuse last mid-January and were ranked 9th
Beat Nova

on February 6th. After losing to USF. This team is not last year’s team. Let it go.

I will..... after we lose in the 1st round of the BET
You're right.

We should stop watching. Right?

we'll still be in the tourney

SO NOT LAST YEAR

w/o Austin we are playing like last year

with Austin we are playing better, albeit still maddingly inconsistent

and won 4 games after that

we’ve won 6 since the same point this year, including three over top 10 opponents

This game stinks

Like Teddy’s poop.

Can Teddy Piss on a G'Town Sock for Luck on Saturday?

We need all the help we can get.

what are they chanting?
we want cam

their ryan dougherty

You mean their Brendan Gaughn?

..I am probably dating myself with that reference. Anybody remember that bench warmer?

well

it should be fun reading this thing tomorrow.

Later all

On to cinci… Need to find a way to win that one.. On a different note, huggins really looks like big pussy in that horrendous sweatsuit

Best do a shot before you leave the bar, Dude!

Preferrably a White Russian.

Thinking patron??
liz clarke

will get us the answers in the post game press conference

She does ask the good questions.

Sitting under a GMU NIT banner

at the patriot center for the Muse show. This was not fun to follow along, especially with AT&T also seeming to have a case of the Austin’s.

I’ll still rest happy knowing that jwoww had a great birthday. And the knowledge that all this nonsense will be over in less than 3 weeks time.

Along with a scorching case of herpes!

…Hey, it’s Morgantown, people.
