Excerpt6. Georgetown Hoyas
The Hoyas lost seniors Henry Sims and Jason Clark, and junior Hollis Thompson declared for the NBA draft (going undrafted). But Otto Porter is prepared to be an All-Big East player, Markel Starks will be an experienced junior, and Greg Whittington has very good versatility and talent.
Add in 6-3 freshman shooting guard D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera from Oak Hill Academy and 6-7 forward Stephen Domingo of San Francisco, and John Thompson III will have talent to work with. You can get worn out underestimating Georgetown.

Thanks Sir Saxa....curious to know who 1 thru 5 are.
Nice to see Domingo get a mention. When all is said and done, think they are going to wish they had mentioned Hayes as well.
Funny how some had us as a bubble team to make the tourney. No way a 6th place finish in the BE is anywhere near the bubble.

I have gotten worn out picking them to win games in the post season.
We need to exceed expectations in the NCAAs one of these days.

BE is wide open. Louisville is the favorite. ND will be good. After that everyone lost substantial pieces and will have a lot of question marks.

Wait. Pitt?! That's insane. They were god awful last year and I know Adams and Zeigler will be good, but they did lose Gibbs and Nasir Robinson. Talk about giving them too much credit. I'd put Cincy and possibly South Florida over them.

I also think Marquette is overrated. They lost bigger pieces than we did in DJO and Crowder.

I also think Marquette is overrated. They lost bigger pieces than we did in DJO and Crowder. Jae Crowder's acting prowess is irreplaceable anywhere in the nation outside of Durham, NC, or Alec Baldwin's house. |

Think the Big East this year wont be as good nationally at the top, but will have many solid teams that are ranked from 10-30 through out the year. But I havent gotten into basketball mode yet so im not completely informed.
