The "Georgetown offense" will be smooth & quick

[glidehoyas (Inactive)]

I think no matter what team your own you always to have an offense to run for your team. Georgetown's offense is just that. Some fans still call it the Princeton offense. Some time ago JT3 made it factual that the Hoya offense be named the "Georgetown offense." I've had a many debate about the Hoya offense. I've heard our fans saying to do away with the Princeton offense, oops, I meant the GO. Comments like it slows our team down, it's not guard oriented etc. I totally always disagreed and knew what the Hoyas' problem was and how to fix it for a few years now. I knew that once the Hoyas got some true nice point guard/guards it would put the Hoyas over the top especially with as talented and deep team the Hoyas have at the present. People even said the Hoyas need to run more. Any team could always run more, but also need to make split second decisions on the fly. Know when to push the ball, and when to slow it down to run a play. I know it's very early, but what I saw Saturday just proved it's about who's running the offense, not the offense itself. Yes, of course the Hoyas will push the ball in transition and PRESS a lot more, score more points off of turnovers. Our guards take care of the ball and make good decisions it'll be really nice.

Offense looked very nice. Especially when we shoot at a high percentage. Team seems to have a new identity and swag with a lot of the same pieces. We need to do a better job of crashing the boards tomorrow night (everybody).

I am hoping that the huge early lead affected our intensity on the boards (although it should not have), and that we will see 40 minutes of effort tomorrow.

I actually won't mind a relative let up if we are up by 30 at the half, though.

I agree with much of what you are saying but in fairness the offensive problems have not just been the result of poor guard play. I admit that I do not like the offense and never did even when it clicked. It's just my preference. The problem with the offense is that it is a very precise, based upon every player understanding the concepts and most importantly being able to execute. I get that everyone wants an All-American pg for this team but that clearly was not the only problem with the offense in recent years.  There has definitely been a lack of ball-handlers and too many turnovers, but also bigs that were in poor condition, others who could not rebound, some who could not pass well and others with very limited range. It is really a collection of issues, not simply guard play.

We have not been a good outside shooting team for several years--yes, there is always a player or two who is pretty good from distance, but the Hoyas have lacked multiple deep threats, which is a requirement in the offense we have run. Moreover, many of the deep threats we had are players who were very streaky--players who were capable of making three in a row and then missing the next nine or ten shots. Easy for the opponent to sit back and clog the lanes daring the Hoyas to shoot, rather than giving up the backdoor plays or the penetration. We simply have not had all of the parts for the offense they were attempting to run.

This game of basketball starts and ends with guard play. glidehoyas.wordpress.com/2016/11/13/hoyas-win-big-in-season-opener-105-60/

Good guard play today. Mosely was exceptional on the ball. Great leadership today. Pryor was a beast. Good job L. J.

LJ is the de-facto PG. That's what this team needs. He's the best player on the team, the ball needs to be in his hands.

Mosely played the pg position really well today. This was last season what you're talking about though lol...

Getting there slowly but surely. Let's go Hoyas!

The lob passes from the guard position was great. Nice bounce pass Jessie threw to a cutter for two points. Hoyas were crashing the boards with a sense of urgency. The communication was very key. Shutting a down Marcus Howard was a great strategy right from the go. The DEFENSE!!! ATTACKMODE!
