There haven't been very many lay-ups on this season's schedule so far, and the Loyola game is the last one. After this game, it's all very real. The rest of 2010 sees the Hoyas with one more tough non-conference road game at Memphis on the 23rd before beginning the brutal Big East campaign in South Bend against Notre Dame on the 29th.
What do I know about Loyola? Not that much other than their head coach, former Gary Williams assistant Jimmy Patsos, is kind of crazy. A few years ago he so was determined to stop Davidson's Stephen Curry from scoring that he went with a triangle and two. The double team on Curry worked. The triangle on the rest of the team didn't as they got crushed.
Look this game is all about Georgetown shaking off their exam break rust. They need to get all of the cobwebs out before traveling for the Holidays.
What I want to see:
I think it's important for them to attack the Loyola press and get as many possessions as possible with the first team players in the game. Unlike in year's past, this Hoyas team is at their best when they speed the game up.
Austin Freeman has been in a bit of a slump from the behind the arc over the last few games. I'd like for him to see the ball go in the net from deep a few times before getting down to Memphis.
Moses needs some run with the first team guards. He had a spectacular 2 minutes last Sunday in his debut. He needs to get into the game in the 1st half this time
Valuing the ball would be nice. The game at Temple was lost with the lost possessions. Lots of things went wrong in Philly that night but the most correctable thing would be to hold on to the damn ball.
Obama: Like I mentioned earlier, Barack is scheduled to attend the Heat - Wizards game later in the day which is of course causing problems for the noon Hoyas tip-off. I better be going to bed so I can get down to Verizon bright and early.
Peace brah
