(Perspectives After the Jump)

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.

Ohio can't...

ghostofjoeybrown - March 18, 2010
Bob Morris...
didn’t play that well. Nova sucked. Not to discount RM. They hung tough.
Esteban d' Amur - March 18, 2010
those kids played hard
and got confident as the game wen t on..
that’s very possible here..
ghostofjoeybrown - March 18, 2010
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.
Esteban d' Amur - March 18, 2010
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
ghostofjoeybrown - March 18, 2010
Fair enough
Esteban d' Amur - March 18, 2010

GUGSHoya07 - March 18, 2010

Amen.

it’s not like any of us had G’town winning the whole thing in our brackets or anything…
ghostofjoeybrown - March 18, 2010
Now let's play some effing perimeter D.
Hoyadonkulous - March 18, 2010
3s are not the right play, every single time Monroe

if jerrelle just hung out on the defensive end. every touch throws us out of sync
Scruggsthugs - March 18, 2010

his defense has been awful also
Scruggsthugs - March 18, 2010

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?
JGD - March 18, 2010
We go to 11.
lordnick - March 18, 2010
12 points at halftime to a #14 seed.
On a totally unrelated note, anybody know where we keep the cyanide?

Unfiltered Hoya - March 18, 2010
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!!
Gtowndude - March 18, 2010 via mobile
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.
Cuse Swallows - March 18, 2010
this is like the time i almost spent $400 on Caps Pens game 7 tickets.
David St. Martin - March 18, 2010
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.
JGD - March 18, 2010
Heck yeah
We’ll still win this by 15
Jason's Laptop - March 18, 2010
The half time should hurt them,
They should go cold now right?
GUGSHoya07 - March 18, 2010
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 agree it has slipped considerably
ghostofjoeybrown - March 18, 2010
Numbers
Freeman 0-4, zero points. Ohio shooting 50 pct from three. The rebounding is, bizarrely, pretty even.
lordnick - March 18, 2010
prolly includes some of those times when we got like 5 rebounds off of 5 missed shots
so its deceptive
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - March 18, 2010
smh
James Kannengieser - March 18, 2010
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.
Missing Wallace - March 18, 2010
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.
JGD - March 18, 2010
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.
87Hoya - March 18, 2010
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.
Cuse Swallows - March 18, 2010
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.

Unfiltered Hoya - March 18, 2010
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.
King_Feelicks - March 18, 2010
day/weekend/month/life
RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - March 18, 2010 via mobile
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.

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.

SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - March 18, 2010

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

Freeman is definitely in the midst of some sort of insulin swing
He looks like he’s about to keel over dead.

they've been cutting away from games everywhere

GUGSHoya07 - March 18, 2010
yep..in NY too
better for me. even though I can watch it online, i’m opting for the NBC offerings. Georgetown blew it
ghostofjoeybrown - March 18, 2010
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.)

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.
87Hoya - March 18, 2010
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.
Cuse Swallows - March 18, 2010
Nice Freeman
Now do that about 8 more times please.
KingSpeedy - March 18, 2010
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.

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

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.

StPetersburgHoya - March 18, 2010
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.
StPetersburgHoya - March 18, 2010
amen
this outcome was the only way Monroe was sticking around another year. Terrible, horrible, silver lining.
SportySpiceK - March 18, 2010
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.
StPetersburgHoya - March 18, 2010
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.

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.
