Once again it's on. I always feel a little weird about these Big East openers before Jan 1st, but it has become a way of life. You can't win the title tonight but you can go a long way towards losing it.
I think tonight is one of the biggest games of the season. Notre Dame is a unique team that provides different problems than other teams. They start 5 seniors. They also start a big team. They can shoot the lights out and being big for once, their zone might be effective against the Hoyas.
Last year Notre Dame came into the Verizon Center and left with an unexpected win in the "Diabetes" game. That was the game where we first found out that there was something wrong with Austin.
I hope that Georgetown applies some decent pressure on the Irish. They don't go very deep. I suspect that ND will go zone so it will be important for Chris to penetrate into that zone to get the other guys good looks.
Even last year with without Freeman, the Hoyas shot 51% in a double digit loss. It's the defense stupid. I'm worried about the 2nd chance points.
Offensively everything will be fine without a high number of turnovers. The Hoya Saxa Offensive Machine is a thing of beauty. Turnovers are the only problem. When they don't turn it over, they score at a ridiculously high rate.
JT3 is 1-2 in games played in South Bend. It would be really nice to see him even up that record tonight.
Prediction: Hoyas 71 Irish 66- Clark has a big game
You want the Big East? Come and take the Big East.
Peace brah
