(Perspectives After the Jump)

Star-divide

View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:

Last week in the Bahamas, I had a fun time…I think… It is all a blur, not because the vacation moved very quickly (although it did), but because rum is cheap in the Caribbean and I could not pass up a good deal. I was upset that I was not able to don the face paint at the Garden and let every player in the Big East know how crappy I think he plays. However, dedicating last Spring Break to watching us suck against St. Johns (seriously?) was not a fun experience. I had to deal with watching the games in the islands, screaming and shouting in the middle of bars and restaurants filled with local Bahamians, who are great people and actually knew who Georgetown was and were fans (probably because of the Global Phenomenon).

As I sit down to write my perspective, I have to say that I have absolutely no knowledge about anyone on Ohio. It is impossible to make fun of them because I didn’t even know they had a basketball team. I hope that we make sure no one finds out who they are by eliminating them from the tournament. Our players are not going to take opponents lightly; they know we have a very difficult bracket. However, the nice thing about the NCAA tournament is that if you go undefeated you are the national champion (yes, this is an attack on the BCS system). One game at a time! Let’s go Hoyas!

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

OldHoya proudly bought his ticket to Providence and has made the trek up to the land of Dunkin' Donuts. Few things put a smile on his face like the beginning of the NCAA Tournament, particularly with the Hoyas as a high seed. Last year has already been conveniently erased from his memory but OldHoya feels that this is the strongest postseason team in years - and yes, OldHoya knows that he isn't going out on much of a limb saying that.

There's nothing bad about the Italian section of Providence. There's a lot bad about the Big East's pathetic opening round so far.

Hoya Saxa

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

The Line:  Georgetown -13.5.  Over/Under 139.

1st day of the NCAA Tournament is the best day of the year, and it's nice to have the Hoyas back in the mix to wager on.  Though the Hoyas got screwed worse than Bret Hart by getting the 3-seed in the brutal Midwest, Ohio doesn't pose much of a threat.  Ohio lost by 25 to Pitt and finished 7-9 in the MAC before winning the conference tournament. 

Assuming Georgetown plays the brand of hoops it displayed in the Big East Tournament, this one should be in double digits early.  13.5 is a lot of points to give to a team that will likely be heaving 3s throughout the 2nd half, but I think Georgetown wins and covers.

The pick is Georgetown -13.5.  Final score Hoyas 74 - Bobcats 58.

On the Season:

Casual Hoya is 22-7 ATS.

1st

Give me a headband

murphy's in providence

Has got three dollar guinness pints and a lot of humbled nova fans.

about to be joined by a busload of dejected richmond fans
okay i thought i was clever for picking st. mary's

but it moved me up from 69th to 68th in the standings…so, not so much.

there's plenty of time for clever later on
sadly

i will not be able to join this thread during the game – i just moved into my apartment and have neither tv nor internet yet, so I am heading out to a friend’s for the hoya victory.

GO HOYAS

drinking with old hoya

All is well in the world

jealous

Still want that office set up

What's he drinking?
If your not drinking Natty Light

Your not American

thinking about Mexican

and going margarita

You heard it here first

If the Hoyas lose in the same manner as Vandy did, I will be live-blogging tonight’s game in its entirety all day tomorrow.

Over and over and over.

Heading to a bar.

Hoya saxa.

drinking with old hoya

All is well in the world

Jack Daniels at Work.
Work Day done!

LEGGGOOOOOOO GET DRUNK…keep the hatas at bay…man SMH out here.

white flag grey flaggin, swaggin savagely….hoyas…beer

Beat Ohio.

Beer and a nice scotch on the menu for tonight..

Hopefully to celebrate a nice 15-20 point victory.. I must admit though, I am a bit nervous, especially after watching nova barely survive..

and vandy lose to murray st
True dat
HERE WE GO HOYAS (CLAP, CLAP)

HERE WE GO (CLAP, CLAP)

GAME DAY

LEGGGGGGOOOOOOOOO

I wonder...

I get the feeling that John Groce woke up today and said “Damnit. If we can’t beat Georgetown, I can at least have a shinier head than their coach.”

Donkulous checkin in

from Tembladera, Peru.

Game time baby!

Gracias a Dios for March Madness on Demand

The tournament is too much for me

I’m already having a panic attack

Really love when Julian shoots 3s
That was a great shot
Great start

3 turnovers, a Vaughn three, and down 7-2

Ugh....

Not a very good start here.. Come on fellas!

Ohio offensive rebound

And a foul for Monroe.

AWESOME.

um

Is it just me or does our team look like they’re playing in the NIT?

Time to start drinking yet?
Yet?

Basketballs been on for hours

Remember that dude?

He’s a sophomore I think, pretty big dude.

FUCKING USE HIM

Is drinking by myself a problem?

It’s early but I am already in heart attack mode

nah

I did that for the BET finals.

The tournament is too damn much
Jeff Green's Dad

Take a shot of Whiskey! It will calm your nerves.

No problems here, son. Just first round jitters.

But, please, Julian, no more treys. Stay in the paint.

Ok you're right

As usual, Chris Wright is the guy that always ALWAYS shows up.

Outside shots--WHY???
Flat

this looks like the Georgetown that played ODU

I dont want have the nerves for a nail biter tonite..I need a 25 point throttle..

glad i dont have a nonrefundable plane ticket
Please hit free throws
Oh Noes!!
Don't make me hate you
I give as good as I get...
get the banana peels off the court
Ok Jerrelle
All the boys got hair cuts

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE

So I taught my 15 month old daughter

To raise her arms in touchdown mode every time I say “Go Georgetown”! Tonight she isn’t doing it… Should we be worried?

teach her how to make an old fashioned ala mad men
keep the threats verbal

…for now

Very frustrating

The wife needs to put her to bed.. Bad karma

a kid AND a wife????

no thank you

You are a smart man..

Stay single!!

JTIII is

placid, serene, even-tempered…

Don't know if that is what we want right now.

Need to get the energy level up. Too flat.

Come on cbs

Don’t do this.. No one in ny cares about unlv northern Iowa!!!

oh goddddd

i can’t watch

Chris Wright the only player who knows we're playing right now
chris with 9!

oh wait, are we not playing that game anymore?

Ohio can't...

play like this for 40 minutes.

that would be...

madness.

www.epiconeliner.com

Robert Morris

disagrees

Bob Morris...

didn’t play that well. Nova sucked. Not to discount RM. They hung tough.

those kids played hard

and got confident as the game wen t on..

that’s very possible here..

Yes they did from what I saw....

but it wasn’t like they were a well oiled machine. They didn’t shoot that well, got out rebounded and turned it over 20 times. Ohio is playing crisper.

i dont see Ohio as crisp

I see G’town’s defense as lazy and flatfooted..

and I see poor shot selection on offense

in both cases, I think it’s more of what the better team is *not doing than what the lesser team is

one would hope
This sucks so far

Monroe doesn’t know what a pivot foot is, we’re playing lazy defense, and Freeman still cold

WTF

Come on.. Why do we always start so shitty?

unwatchable...

how quickly i’m reminded how consistent our inconsistencies are…

how’s that for redundancy?

6 TURNOVERS

You’ve got to be kidding me

Monroe

EVERY SINGLE TIME. Every time down the floor. He should have 40 tonight

on the plus side

it’s not like any of us had G’town winning the whole thing in our brackets or anything…

Now let's play some effing perimeter D.
3s are not the right play, every single time Monroe
Have they effing missed yet?

This is not good

You just know they'd do something in the next 5 games

But this – this just is beyond us

fuuuuuuck

Captain Morgan and I

We’re going to become really good friends by the end of the night.

I'm tearing up my bracket
Anyone want to guard bassett?
down by 10?

ugh…

yeah we’re Elite…

one of the elite 64 teams in the country..

This is brutal
There is no way

That this team should be outrebounding us.

I’m about to shut the TV off, I’ve seen this too many times this year

Chris Wright is the only player on this team with balls
the announcers can tell

that the right course of action is to give the ball to monroe…why can’t we.

Holy shit they are on fire
Ok this can't continue
We can't get a stop..

Where is Julian? Need some rebounding

This is incorrigible
season is over

finally

we need to hustle more for loose balls
the Big East

so far is the laughing stock of the NCAA’s..

i

Season isn't over

They can’t shoot this well for the game

What the hell is going on?

How does anyone make 9 3-pt shots before the first half is over?

shut it down

See you guys in June for some recruiting updates and the kenner league schedule

WHAT THE HELL HOYAS???

I take a one-hour commute and you start losing to a 14 seed???

I can't believe we have given up 40 pts already

I’m slapping a clip into the 1911

Cocaine inspired 3 shooting

Come on – regress to the motherfucking mean Ohio. DAMMIT.

Not feeling @swaglife #realtalk
Remember the "worst loss in recent history" poll?

Prepare to add another choice.

not sure its even close

if we lose this one

Don't know what they have to swag about

#savagelife was the right move.

Think we'd be better on offense

if jerrelle just hung out on the defensive end. every touch throws us out of sync

actually

his defense has been awful also

all of my season long Chris Wright hate

has been powered down, and my Jerelle hate meter is powered up…such an offensive liability

JUST RETRIEVED HEADBAND FROM OTHER ROOM!!
How's G'Town..

a three seed?

You're really gonna come here and troll right now?
I was here when..

Nova was struggling. I actually want G’Town to win.

Vee's in

Time to d up.. Still not sure why Julian hasn’t been playing at all

he hasn't played much

since before the big east tourney

Just get it below 10

I can’t believe I’m typing that

i dont think my bracket can survive a Hoya loss
cant believe im saying to myself

i hope the hoyas can cut the Ohio lead to 10

EFFING REBOUND!!!!!
From Bill Simmons

He doesn’t even watch college basketball:

sportsguy33:
if UTEP’s second half was a 10 out of 10 on the Suck Scale, then Georgetown’s first half is a solid 8. No intensity. And giving up 48 points in a half?

12 points at halftime to a #14 seed.

On a totally unrelated note, anybody know where we keep the cyanide?

This is the worst thing i've ever seen

I dunno what to do with myself.

You're going to do what we're all going to do

A. drink the pain away
B. blow your brains out.
C. try to drink the pain away and THEN blow your brains out.

What the hell is this shit?

I just took three anti-anxiety pills to get myself through this. Jesus!!!

I'm changing my shirt

new shirt = brand new half

Agree on changing shirts..
Shirt changed

Should have known better.

Me too..

Final 4 shirt on

I've got on

the first Georgetown shirt I ever purchased; It’s seen a lot of yard work, beer, and Georgetown victories

That was a disaster

Our defense was absolutely shredded.. We need Austin in the 2nd half to step it up.. Has he scored yet? And please start rebounding!!

Speaking of Austin...

what the hell is wrong with him? Is me being monitored by the doc? He looks listless out there on both ends of the floor.

I hope to hell Thompson makes the right adjustments at half…or this is going to be a fucking embarrasment on national TV.

this is like the time i almost spent $400 on Caps Pens game 7 tickets.
Let's bring some positive vibes

It can’t get worse. They can’t keep hitting shots at that alarming a rate. We’ve been a second half team all year. We will get back in this.

Heck yeah

We’ll still win this by 15

The half time should hurt them,

They should go cold now right?

I'm trying to believe the same thing JGD.

Ohio has got to go cold from beyond the arc. But we HAVE to get Monroe the ball more down low, they can’t defend him…plus Austin has to make some contribution on offense. Holy Shit, what a terrible half of basketball. Perhaps the worse all year for the Hoyas.

i just typed heidi klum into google

it was a successss

NSFW or your wife/gf

switching to parks and recreation

G’town hasn’t proved themselves worthy of stealing NBC’s thusrday nite thunder

I don't know

P&R is good this year, and Community is amazing, but 30 Rock has slipped like crazy

30 Rock

i think drank the 30 Rock kool aid…

I agree it has slipped considerably

Numbers

Freeman 0-4, zero points. Ohio shooting 50 pct from three. The rebounding is, bizarrely, pretty even.

prolly includes some of those times when we got like 5 rebounds off of 5 missed shots

so its deceptive

Half Time Panic Reset

They’re shooting 50% on 3-pt shots. That can’t last can it?
Four of their starters has two fouls. Unfortunately, Basset has zero.
Freeman has yet to hit his stride. We know he’ll do something.

We can still win this if they play like they did for the entirety of the Big east tournament. Even playing at the level of the loss to WVU we can win this.

More Simmons

sportsguy33:
Halftime: Ohio 48, Georgetown 36. Monroe just tripled his rebound total for the game by throwing up 2 layup bricks + tipping the third one in. Hey Greg? There are NBA scouts in the stands.

What the HELL?

We’re down by 12 to a team we never HEARD of? Who was apparently a #9 seed in Conference Pathetic USA? I’m goin go d-i-e.

BTW, do the guys always think to themselves: “It’s o.k., we can always make it up in the 2nd half”? That’s what it looked like tonight to me, AGAIN. I know I’m going to get my ring repo’ed before the night is over.

We need you 87Hoya

I’m pissed off too! But keep the faith. Those bozos CANNOT keep up a 50% pace from beyond the arc.

But I’m angry that Monroe is not getting the ball more. That needs to change…NOW.

Can we really not stay in front of them?

This is just unbelievable. But we’re a long way out of this one – they can’t possible stay this hot and we can’t possibly stay this bad on defense.

2 cigarettes at halftime

Does not seem unreasonable right now

Stop playing like USF the first time

start playing like USF the second time

Ever notice...

how you just can’t enjoy the other games if the Hoyas are losing? Or is it me? Seriously, if the Hoyas slip and fall tonight, I’m not going to watch any basketball until probably the Final Four.

Eff bill simmons

He’s still pissed he didn’t get in to gtown

at least the man hates Duke
so we changed back to old shoes at the half against Vandy in 2007

does the team grow their hair back this half?

The tournament loses its appeal

when Georgetown loses. I still watch, but it’s not fun anymore. Combined with the fact I’ll have lost any chance of making money if they lose… This could really ruin my day/weekend/month.

day/weekend/month/life
Any time this team gets confidence they play flat

They are great when they have something to prove, when they rest on their laurels, they get destroyed.

To be honest, my biggest fear has been the 2nd round exit because we’re looking ahead to OSU and Kansas.

Didn’t think it’d happen today. But we have to have some faith, this team has fought back throughout the year, now we need to do it again and finish. I have faith, everyone else should too.

PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Is that the Our Father in Latin?
ya...

Hated the classes at GU admittedly

St. Ignatius

Pray for us

swaglife

Southern Women Aging Gracefully would have owned the hoyas that first half.

Was that a prayer or a curse?
This

Could free up my weekend considerably…

Shut Ohio the fuck down!!!

Goddamnit, play some defense this half Hoyas!!

Let’s go!

That dude's beer run camera footage...

was exactly how we played in the first half.

Lamar Odom in significantly more ad campaigns

since marrying that Kardashian

somewhere hes doing the evil finger pyramid
KFS!!!!

Welcome! We need some Karma!

Come on now...

Let’s go!!!

It's been so long
We're going to need to stop travelling
Keep it up Clark!
Nice Jason

LETS GO

anybody wanna go half

on buying a few toyotas for the team ride home after the game?

done

as long as we keep some for ourselves

i can't watch

this is too painful

Can we hold onto the ball down low?

PLEASE!

Big men gotta stop turning the ball over
wow

backboard passes and everything…

Ohio bought the salt packets today

We are still sleepwalking

Offense and defense are now awful

FINALLY FREEMAN

hallelujah

Austin doesn't look healthy
hopefully

he’ll be looking sick soon

No shit!

Something is up with him. I thought so from the first two minutes into the game.

Still a ton of time...

for you guys.

First basket for Austin with 16:40 in the 2nd half.

Read that again.

Chris Wright

Only person showing up, I’ll say it again. GET SOME FUCKING BALLS YOU PUSSIES AND START FUCKING PLAYING.

Damn right.

He’s a magnificent bastard tonight. Unfortunately everyone else on the team is terrible so far.

this game makes me want to cry

this team went fucking 7-9 in the Fucking MAAC for FUCKS SAKE

My eyes are bleeding...

Where the hell is the defense Thompson???

DUTCHMAN

They have a DUTCH guy outplaying us, a LITTLE DUTCH guy.

Terrible

Terrible

Who I'm sure grew up playing Soccer.
this one is pretty much over

i’d love to eat my words, but i just dont see things getting any better tonite

In the words of Apollo 13

“Houston, we have a problem”

We had a problem in the first half

Now, we’re the God damned Challenger – on fire, the passengers screaming, the wreckage hurtling towards the beach.

We’re one and done. Biggest bust of the tournament.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm calling it now:

we’re going to win by 7

OMG!

I hope you are right!

You're insane. Magnificently, stark-raving mad insane
yeah because we came out terrific in the second half and made great adjustments

oh wait we didnt. ARRRRGHH

relax

I just called up my buddy Nostradamus; he told me I was right

Common thread in all our comebacks

has been Austin Freeman playing well and buckling down on D.

We do that, we win this game. Plenty of time, but we better start soon.

I'm going to reevaluate if writing for this blog is a good use of my time if we lose
You can't give up this blog

It’s in your blood.

this is brutal
I can't get behind a team

that doesnt show up for the NCAA tournament

I live in NY..I’ve seen what it’s like to be a Mets fan..i’ve always *not wanted to be that guy

low blow

mets a dark horse candidate to finish 4th in nl east this year

Monroe

one more year

He keeps playing like this

no NBA scout will want to touch him.

SHUT IT DOWN

close the blog.

I swear...

I swear it’s like they don’t care. Should Cuse and JGD pour out their life blood for this?

My Mom would have to clean up the mess...

If I die tonight, by my own hand.

Next 4 minutes are our only shot

need to go on a run

ok I've put my newborn son in his Hoya gear now

hopefully that will turn things around

wow

if we go on a 32-0 run to finish the game we would meet your prediction

easier than that

only need a 24-0 run

I can't believe I'm writing this..

but Freeman needs to sit down. He’s not helping at all…he’s a liability right now.

completely agree
the time is now

or later

Freeman is definitely in the midst of some sort of insulin swing

He looks like he’s about to keel over dead.

Monroe said he was going to eat a donut before the game

maybe thats it

Wow...

in Philly they cut away to the Northern Iowa game.

they've been cutting away from games everywhere

back to watching online

yep..in NY too

better for me. even though I can watch it online, i’m opting for the NBC offerings. Georgetown blew it

NO WAY

CBS cut away because it was so pathetic. Sadly, we got the super DirectTV deal where you can always see all the games. Make the pain stop.

(Hold up, easy on Freeman. Anybody but Freeman—or Clark.)

Raid the Ohio locker room

There’s gotta be some crack in there.

put stepka in

and have him kick bassett

...or Kyrptonite?

[Jack Bauer]DAMMIT HOYAS! YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME![/Jack Bauer]

Depends on Where they Find The Body

If it’s in a dumpster, it’s the crazy guy from work. If it’s in the fetal position in front of the t.v., it’s Georgetown that killed me.

JTIII...

is going to have to live with this one a long time. A long fucking time.

You couldn't see that charge coming

Even on the 3 inch computer screen we’ve been relegated to

he's 6'11

he can’t fucking pretend like he’s a guard on the fast break

Lost in our sucking

why are the refs calling this so tight?

especially that BS call where the Ohio player ran into Greg Monroe

somehow that was a foul on Monroe

so Big East basketball rocks...

Marquette is up by 1…

Pondexter yet to go off

Washington is going to win that one.

The chants of Over-rated are going to bring down the Dunkin Donuts Center.
Upside

Will Monroe come back after laying an egg?

fuck him and fuck Austin Freeman

I hate them all

we need people like the Ivan Brothers

those guys have passion

I hate this team, I hate this blog, and I hate all of you

On the fouls

The refs might be confused b.c. we have like a foot on each of them (two on the Dutch guy). It’s hard to see things down that low. Harder for the refs, more embarrassing for us.

Maybe?

If he shits the bad badly tonight, he might actually be convinced he needs one more year. It’s possible…and right about now the only ray of hope I’m holding onto.

Nice Freeman

Now do that about 8 more times please.

I Like this Line of Thinking

re: Monroe. So, if we take a beating tonight, we get him one more year? A ray of hope. But unless he starts WORKING, I don’t know if I want him.

I am speechless

And now I can’t even watch the game in ny.. This is worse than the game that shall remain nameless from the 2008 tourney

I like this momentum, actually

BUT CAN WE GET A HAND UP ON THAT FUCKING DUTCH GUY! HE HAS HIT AT LEAST 4 20-FOOTERS!

Picture = 1000 Words

Relax

It’s just a 5 possession game now

Come on

They just don’t fucking miss.

I've seen better

performances by Hoyas at Yates.

Dorsey plays with more heart than this team
Yeah, that Jesuit league can be rough.

Fr. King used to light it up from the arc…bless his soul.

This is done!

They just couldn’t go cold from the arc.

Oh Hoya Ninja

Don’t you have any women in your life that you love? That St. Ignatius quoute is killing me. Am I the only woman up here?

nope

i’m here. just too depressed to post.

Hoyette, Poyznus

It’s a bad night for hoops, but at least we found out there are three of us.

Poyznus

posted a semi-nude pic of Heidi Klum earlier; I’m not thinking Poyznus is a woman; (thought the quote is offensive)

Great!

Two of us, and I walked into a trap.

we need

to recruit more lady hoyas!

We're playing our asses off

just to keep the lead where it is.

Take Austin Out, take Monroe out

put Hibbert, Green, and Wallace in

I really don't want to go to work tomorrow.

I might just punch someone in the face.

Work is out of the question

they don’t make people go in after they’ve had half of their intestines removed. How much worse could that be?

Forget work

One of my best friends goes to Ohio. I am never going to hear the end of this.

You mean one of your ex best friends.

Right?

Hollis has 11 points

the end of our problematic bench?

they are still getting

wide open threes. coaches yelling at each other. it’s mayhem.

Reggie

Do something dammit

we need to apply the press b/c our half court defense isnt doing shit
what's a press?
anyone getting fired for this one?
I really want to see

Big John take JT3 over his knee after this one. If you can’t get your team up to play in the big dance, it’s time to find another line of work.

I blame CASUAL FOR WATCHING THE OSU GAME FOR NO REASON
You're absolutely right.
You wanted a pity party?

You got one. I hope you’re happy now.

I'd like them to miss once

Is that too much to ask?

They are nearly 60% on 3-pt shots

That’s just statistical proof of a deal with satan.

especially b/c they're a fucking 34% from 3 point land team

WTF

Did JTIII decide to take a change and pull everyone in for rebounds?

WTF HAPPENED?

Right about now...

I’m contemplating three things.

1), Suicide by drinking nonstop over the next 48 hours.
2.) Punching the dude I don’t like in the office right in the face first thing tomorrow morning.
3.) Dialing up about 6 escorts and having a bender the likes of Ron Jeremy. Just hope Mom doesn’t come home from work early.

Any suggestions?

How about all three but in reverse order?
My Lorezapem....

seems to not be working this evening. I’m looking for alternatives to this painful experience.

2 and 3...
or terrible d

with wide open threes

even pat fordes worst case scenario on espn.com has us losing a close one to tenn. this is 10129917384012 times worse.

how do you not show up with intensity in the ncaa tournament?

I'm inconsolable
ohio vs old dominion

who will win?

Who cares?

Outside of Satan.

I love Chris Wright
We're still going to lose

I refuse to believe they can salvage this game.

Step up the D!!!!!!

Step it up!! Shut down the fucking paint!!

Wish we were the 2 seed in dukes region

Robert morris only woulda beaten us by 10

What is this, hope?
I'm screaming at my two bulldogs
DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stops. stops. stops. stopsstopsstops
Remember Princeton -

All we have to do is lead by 1 at the end.

Foul!!!! Fucking A!!!
I keep forgetting that Ohio has a freeman
I was like .. Austin wasnt anywhere near that
Seeing Tiny Green Men

The three’s are one thing, but are you seeing what I’m seeing? Tiny green men waltzing past giant defenders? What the HELLL??

Hit the goddamn shots, Benimon.
Tommy Freeman

We’re losing to Tommy Freeman

benimon

brings nothing

Huge swing there

Way to hit the easy ones guys

logging off

until next year..

see you guys…

this is a

joke. how many wide open threes?

Like all THIRTEEN of them.
If wright makes that damn 3 it would have been a 4 point game

instead its a damn 10 point game

Not thinking the outcome of this game is Wright's fault
Wright is NOT the problem.

He has 25 points. He can’t score 90 points alone.

Ohio STATE

It’s OHIO STATE, the 2 seed, that’s supposed to take us out, and leave us with some dignity. Can anyone prove this other college exists?

will we press?

do we know how? have we ever done it?

13 for 22

I challenge the notion Ohio has shot this well from deep in practice.

Ever.

Hold onto that thought along with the bottle of whiskey as you try to go to sleep tonight.
Chris Wright is the only Hoya on the team

who shouldnt commit Seppuku after this game

Yeah, but

He owes me for a whole lot of other games.

He doesn't owe us shit

The rest of this team does. For shitting the fucking bed

Hey..

I’m an old lady. Talking to me like that freaks me out. I’m a big fan of yours. We’re both disappointed and we disagree.

Play some fucking DEFENSE please!

Press the ball!!! No wide open looks for three! SHIT!

this is

casual’s fault. irrational hubris pulling that ohio st. shit yesterday.

Monroe has 7 turnovers
on the upside

he had 7 turnovers 6 minutes ago

I am getting liquored up tonight

What a depressing end to a very strange year… Lots of highs, lots of lows.. Just a very frustratingly weird year

...and needs another year in school.
Keep at it,

Cuse, maybe he’ll hear you.

Where is Vaughn

ticker has him almost non existent.

this is

truly a national embarrassment.

There is a lid on our basket.. Unreal
can greg go pro

never having won a tournament game?

If he goes...

I bet he lost himself a couple million tonight.

On the plus side

It’s supposed to be gorgeous outside on Saturday. I just gained two hours of fresh air.

Big John....

has got to be speechless on the radio broadcast right now.

Fuck this

This ruined my fucking day. And tomorrow. And every day until the tournament ends. When does baseball season start?

Sorry for you guys....

not a good way to end the year.

Just over two weeks until opening day.

They just switched games on campus.

Ohio is gonna put up close to 100

I can’t get over this

WHEN YOU SHOOT 60% YOU SCORE A LOT OF POINTS.
Thanks for the update
Didn't think you knew....
Whatever vee...
The Team (except Chris Wright) should be ashamed of itself

The only modifier is they have shot insanely from the arc (and so far beyon it).

This is an entirely appropriate end to our season.

DC CBS just cut away

That’s all she wrote, folks.

Free throw shooting

is also killing us.

All year

this has been sitting there waiting to bite us in the ass

Is it football season yet?
solid defense

100 points to Ohio?

Hollis seems

to be putting up some numbers

Ugh...

…I feel so sick. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!

Whiskey?

I approve.

chris wright

gets a ride back to d.c. everyone else should be walking.

They should be carrying him. And Big John for extra ballast.
Got kicked out of Buffalo Wild Wings

Now i am watching this shit on my computer.

Paint the Picture for Us

it’s go to be more interesting than the game.

As Will Farrell said in "Blades of Glory"...

“Fuck my life”

Quoth the Operative

“You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when men failed as entirely as you have, they would throw themselves on their swords.”

WORST LOSS IN HOYA HOOPS HISTORY!!!

I’m calling it now.

yes.

Davidson was worse than the nova loss. This is worse than that. At least we saw history.

We can't even

pad our stats

Anyone (including me) who has ever said anything bad about Chris Wright......

Should apologize to him in person. He’s the only guy out there worthy of the uniform tonight.

guesses on post game tweets?
GMonroe_10

Fuck this. I’m coming back to win a national championship.

/delirium

The real question

Guesses on formspring questions?

Reckless Speculation

No one is even testing the draft after this game. Wright is a 4 year player. Austin has health questions. Monroe couldn’t lead his team to a win in the tournament.

amen

this outcome was the only way Monroe was sticking around another year. Terrible, horrible, silver lining.

The other silver lining

This group of McDonalds AA’s just learned that their play can’t be dictated by the name on the front of the jersey. They probably should have learned this against ODU, South Florida, and Rutgers … but I’m guessing that they get it now.

Nobody on this team

deserves to be a draft pick. What I just saw was one of the most insanely bad basketball games I have ever seen. At no point in this listless, flat-food travesty were thet even close to anything that could be considered worthy of the pros. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having seen it. I award them each a draft pick of dead last behind the floor towel boy at Duke, and may God have mercy on their souls.

CW?

thought he was at least good, if not outstanding.

I'm thinking the coaches confiscate

the players tech and prevent it.

JTIII should at least put Sims in so he can say the whole team participated in this debacle.

slept through an entire half of an ncaa tournament game. their pt guard got to the bucket at will and they continued to get wide open looks from three in the second half.

what a long offseason this will be

"I know it was you, Monroe..."

“You broke my heart. You broke my heart!”

/gasses up the dingy

Well that was awful

See y’all in November.

On the plus side

I now can pay attention in class.

See you all next year, throw a dead cat at the team bus for me.

fire jt3

from rhino, to white gravenor, to men’s basketball, georgetown just sucks.

Tickets

Does anyone have ideas as to how I could unload my Saturday tickets? I can’t do StubHub because it’s too late to ship.

Obviously

Duke will now lose to Arkansas Pine Bluff. This is the only way to restore balance to the world.

Nay,

Vermont over Syracuse would be much more satisfying.

we deserve

BOTH

Maybe Casual will watch this game next year,

so as to ensure our opening round loss in the NIT tournament to ITT Tech

I knew live-blogging the OSU game would be a great idea!

AMIRITE FELLAS?

next up... live blogging the Hindenburg disaster

“it’ll be so cathartic”

Silver linings:

1) maybe Monroe will stay…
2) I can now concentrate on baseball season…ugh

Are you a masochist?

Cubs and Hoyas fan? Yikes, dude.

better cubs

than my mets

self-flagellation

is the cool thing – Hoyas, Cubbies, AND Nats here.
