  1. Didn't watch after Baker's first missed three. How many did he he hit later?
  2. Georgetown won 19 games in 2018-19, their most in a season since 2014-15 which was also the last season which the Hoyas made the NCAA Tournament. This will be Patrick Ewing’s third season at the helm, and he likely will have his most talented team in 2019-20. The impressive freshmen trio of James Akinjo, Mac McClung and Josh LeBlanc all return along with a couple impact transfers joining the team. Georgetown could sneakily be one of the better teams in the Big East this season. 2018-19 Record: 19-14, 9-9 2018-19 Postseason: NIT Coach: Patrick Ewing Coach Record: 34-29 at Georgetown, 34-29 overall Key Departed Players: Jessie Govan, Forward, 17.5 ppg Trey Mourning, Forward, 6.3 ppg Greg Malinowski, Guard, 5.7 ppg Kaleb Johnson, Forward, 4.4 ppg Key Returning Players: James Akinjo, Sophomore, Guard, 13.4 ppg Mac McClung, Sophomore, Guard, 13.1 ppg Josh LeBlanc, Sophomore, Forward, 9.1 ppg Jamorko Pickett, Junior, Forward, 6.2 ppg Jahvon Blair, Junior, Guard, 4.1 ppg Jagan Mosely, Senior, Guard, 3.1 ppg Key New Players: Galen Alexander, Junior, Forward, Transfer from Junior College Terrell Allen, Senior, Guard, Transfer from Central Florida Myron Gardner, Freshman, Forward (3 star) Timothy Igohoefe, Freshman, Center (3 star) Qudus Wahab, Freshman, Center (3 star 135 overall) Malcolm Wilson, Freshman, Center (3 star) Omer Yurtseven, Junior, Center, Transfer from NC State Projection: Georgetown had three players make the Big East All-Freshman Team last season and all three are back for their sophomore campaigns. James Akinjo was second on the team in scoring with 13.4 points per game and led the Hoyas in assists (5.2) and steals (1.1) per game. Mac McClung wasn’t far behind Akinjo in scoring as he averaged 13.1 points per game. McClung was a social media sensation before joining the Hoyas, and he lived up to those expectations as a freshman. Josh LeBlanc was the least decorated of the three, but with Jessie Govan graduated, he should have more opportunities as a sophomore. LeBlanc still averaged 9.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 24 minutes per game. Jamorko Pickett started 23 games as a sophomore, averaging 6.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 blocks. Akinjo, McClung, LeBlanc and Pickett give the Hoyas one of the top young returning cores in the Big East. Jahvon Blair and Jagan Mosely also return to provide depth and experience in the backcourt. Terrell Allen and Omer Yurtseven are a pair of transfers who should make an impact this season. Allen is a grad transfer from Central Florida who started 55 games over the last two seasons. Last year, Allen averaged 6.7 points, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals on a team that made the NCAA Tournament. Yurtseven played two seasons at NC State and was a Third Team All-ACC member as a sophomore. Yurtseven averaged 13.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks that year and should seamlessly step into Govan’s role this season. Galen Alexander is a junior college transfer who played nine games at LSU in 2017-18 before being dismissed from the team. Alexander is a former four-star recruit who averaged 17.2 points and 8.4 rebounds last year in junior college. The Hoyas also have four freshmen joining the roster, all of which are three-star recruits. The highest ranked recruit is Qudus Wahab, listed as a top-150 prospect, but he is a 6-foot-10 center who will likely just be a back-up for Yurtseven. Patrick Ewing has been slowly building Georgetown back up, and this year he should have them back in the mix for an NCAA Tournament appearance. Projected Postseason Tournament: NCAA By the Numbers: Scoring Offense: 79.5 (36th in nation, 1st in conference) Scoring Defense: 78.1 (321, 10) Field-Goal Percentage: 44.3 (176, 7) Field-Goal Defense: 43.2 (144, 4) Three-Point Field Goals Per Game: 8.2 (127, 6) Three-Point Field-Goal Percentage: 35.5 (114, 4) Free-Throw Percentage: 73.7 (78, 3) Rebound Margin: 3.0 (81, 4) Assists Per Game: 16.4 (16, 1) Turnovers Per Game: 13.4 (230, 😎 Madness 2020 NBA Draft Rankings: #47 Mac McClung Madness 2019 Men’s Basketball Recruit Rankings: #127 Qudus Wahab
  3. This from the guy who gets so pissy over a football game he's asked to sleep on the couch.
  4. Every time I see a Dairy Queen it reminds me of "Texasville". If I remember correctly their ice cream was the least healthy of any fast food chain.Of course that's what makes my dip cone so damn good.
  5. Based on record it looks like he deserved to go. Just a note that Kingsville fired every principal at every school in town last year.
  6. Walmart? Young girl finding the perfect xmas tree. Fake and prelit on showroom floor.
  7. TCU qb is from Iowa, also. Obviously our Kryptonite.
  8. More trivia. Actor playing Russian ambassador cracks a smile when Strangelove(Merkwürdigliebe) is fighting with his hand.
  9. agroids were getting pounded also when I turned it off. Funny thing that one of the Gonzaga players was an ag transfer. Coaching shows when you go from c station to starting for Zags.
  10. he did a good job of setting his picks and rolling to the basket. He actually looked to the ball for a pass on his path to the basket like he was coached in high school. god forbid a perimeter player would pass it into him on his way to the basket or he be allowed to setup on the low post and receive a pass. Sims doesn't even look for the ball anymore after setting a pick and rolling to the basket probably because he knows the ball is never coming.
  11. "Some of these games are getting them ready for SWAC play" just a few, smidgen
  12. Our guys normally knock down the outside shots. Ok.
  13. What will Shaka say on camera b4 heading to lockerroom at half?
  14. "The House that Jack Built" w/Matt Dillon. Art movie that makes you uncomfortable. Don't blame me.
  15. Over/under on Baker making a 3 set at 1/2.
  16. I'm referring to his 1/2 time interview, bur mostly to the idea that these changes start in practice to become long term strategies.
  17. I want to retract this comment. He does recognize what is wrong with our play, but he doesn't know how to fix it. Mea culpa. It's early and we do have "the longest winning streak in the NCAA(lol,great stat)", but when I see Baker 0/career in 3's and our 3 point shooting stats picking up where they left off , I'm not convinced.
  18. @Onboard 2.0 your mother snubs have really been brutal lately.
