The "Sweet Caroline" thing Davidson does--is pathetic, disgusting, and played out--but what do you expect from CinderFELLA team? That is why I hate Mid Majors--wish their seasons all painful, ugly deaths, and just hope Hoyas take this as a lesson to give a brutal beatdown to inferior teams in the future--but today is their day--enjoy and play up more creepy Neil Diamond songs about underage girls.

Particularly damaging for the Hoyas were the foul calls that kept Hibbert in hibernation. With just less than 12 minutes to play and Georgetown up 11, the senior was cited for his fourth on an off-the-ball offensive infraction. Ticky-tacky? Perhaps.

The Georgetown bench, on the officials all day, fumed.

Asked about the call, Thompson said, “I was upset about more than one of them.”

Anyone who appreciates basketball aesthetics could have been peeved with the officials on the grounds that too many whistles – 47 fouls were rung up – ruin the show.

But Georgetown needs to direct some of its anger toward itself. A superior physical team with a comfortable lead shouldn’t pull back on offense . Instead of attacking, the Hoyas slowed the pace, overpassed the ball around the perimeter, and, ultimately, started committing more turnovers.

The Hoyas’ subtle, voluntary retreat wasn’t totally unexpected. It represented standard coaching strategy, the kind that accounts for so many panicky finishes in the tournament. Playing not to lose is what it’s called.

and Mike DeCourcy with his predictable attack on the Hoya offense:

Knott - Hibbert and his mates experience a foul day

The Georgetown basketball team lost to Tom O'Neill, Paul Janssen and Douglas Sirmons in the second round of the NCAA tournament at RBC Center yesterday.

Currying no favor

Georgetown is going to spend a restless offseason hearing quick whistles and seeing Stephen Curry in its sleep.

For the class that resurrected Georgetown basketball, Easter Sunday probably will never feel the same.

I guess if we're keeping this thread going, I'll put some Hoya Hoops stuff up.

Tony talked about refereeing: hoyahoops.com/2008/03/24/three-on-one/
I talked about the TV coverage: hoyahoops.com/2008/03/26/c-bs/
And Johnny talked about his day in Raleigh: hoyahoops.com/2008/03/25/a-sad-easter-sunday/

I know this is a lot of self-promotion but I thought Johnny's article was pretty good with some quotes from the seniors. Sad stuff though.

I have to point out beforehand I don't know who wrote this, or if he's associated with G'town. I got sent this column by a friend, and I can't say I disagree with this guy. Apologies in advance if it's been posted already in another thread.

I was as frustrated as anyone by that loss, but the author loses all credibility when he throws the "refs were racist" line in there. Whaaaa?

Okay, the racism thing seems whacked (was that some sort of typo) but the rest of this column hits a bullseye. For the most part I have accepted the officials' call of that game but this column reminds me of how ridiculously fortunate Davidson was.

[hoyahebrew]

Yeah, it was taken out of context like Rev. Wright!
