UC versus Georgetown:pregame, game, postgame thread

[#BearcatNation]

Our offense was much smoother and out guards are hitting their open shots now.

Yeah I've gotta agree with the others on the fact that just because our guys got hot from behind the line one game doesn't mean in any way we are "clicking on all cylinders". We are all well aware our team has the capability to do that. It hides the fact that we did an awful job of driving and scoring down low. We shot far worse from inside the arc than outside. That's not a good thing.

Truth be told, we are a team that if we are cold beyond the arc, we are going to have trouble beating anyone in the country. Obviously missing a lot of 3s would hurt any team, but without that, we don't have much else to offer offensively. Not to mention even if we're off we'll keep jacking them up anyway.

How do you know they have a really good scout team?

Read an article about how their scout team is a large part of their current winning streak. I can't post the link right now but it was a decent read. Just saying they have a great staff and with a week to prepare for us, with obvious strengths and weaknesses doesn't help us by any means.

Georgetown palyed on Monday night and we played on Tuesday night. Not much more preparation time for them than for us.

Thanks, just wondering.

4 straight, 6 of the last 7. All but one of those GT teams were ranked too.

This is precisely why we cruise tonight by double digits.

Mick owns jt3.

ty. those are pretty impressive numbers.

gt fans have to be sick of losing to uc. much like uc fans were sick of losing to pitt.

Uc is favored by 4. I'm telling you uc is absolutely going to roll gtown and this message board will be firmly back on the mick Cronin bandwagon. Watch

Dude it's not a bold prediction when you pick UC to win every game, most by a substantial margin. You've been wrong 6 times so far.

And I've picked 19 right. After tonight it will be 20

Two of those losses were because of the refs.

I do quite a bit of sports betting and UC being favored by 4 simply tells me this game could go either way and Vegas isn't confident in either team. Not to mention UC is not a good team to base a spread on because they hardly ever cover and are in so many close games. Even if UC was to "roll" gtown I don't think anyone on this board has lost faith in Mick. There are a lot of concerns with how this team has been playing of late, which you can't argue. I think there is going to be a lot of uncertainty for the rest of the season because UC is like Jekyll and Hyde. But we always need fans like you, who are confident all the time. I have a few friends that think we will always win, or at least say, "you gotta have faith" while I am more of a realist and see things differently. Its all good either way.

You're not getting it. You predicted UC would be 25-0 right now, which would be by far the #1 team in the land. We are not even in the Top 25. Good job.

You're not getting it. Do not respond to him. If you haven't realized he says the same thing every time.

I'm well aware. Usually I just leave it be, but sometimes I just can't help it.

I do not and you know it

With a nine o'clock national spotlight game, I hope uc extra motivated

stop! last thing we need is you starting to sound like a uk fan!

 

[BearcatMick]

I expect apologies from ucalum, scheids and bearcatnation after uc wins tonight. I will not forget

Need to take the next six. I say we continue our streak against the Hoyas. They're a tough team defensively but they don't score or rebound very well.
