Hoyas are getting PUNKED in 2nd Half--just flat out PUNKED.
This FT shooting is beyond disgraceful--and from a guy like Summers--this shouldn't be happening-but he's got to exert so much energy helping on the glass because of how small this team is--it wears you down.
Roy--there will be a lot to learn from this game--mainly how to get tougher--and that is something nobody can teach--he's got to learn on his own.
Overall--this is type of game Jeff Green bailed Hoyas out of last year--when Roy was slumping--Jeff stepped up--and with Roy slumping--team did a fantastic job of playing for a Half--and just got beaten by a deeper, more physical team, who wanted the game more--and physically beat up Georgetown.
Rivers was great on his first entry into game-and stunk after that.
Good game to learn from--but one thing that bothered me--how timid/meek the team played when getting challenged. Last year's team learned to win when it's not going your way--they fought/found ways to compete--today--this team wilted and died.

Unless JT can coach defensive rebounding and free throw shooting, this team is going nowhere. i mean, it's early enough in the year that i think that might be a little stretch. we're playing the (soon-to-be)#1 team in the country and we get better as the months go on every year. This team has enough talent to win 23-25 game even with dreadful free throw shooting and bad rebounding. But, the objective this year is to win the championship and that can not and will not happen if today's type of performance continues. The problem is that these issues are not the kind of things that necessarily improve with time.

No reason Roy couldn't have been a force in this game... should be taking Dorsey to the cleaners. Not going strong at all, no intensity, nothing. He was double-teamed in the beginning, but if he had been strong, he would have ended up at the foul line instead of turning the ball over. Very disappointed in him. Looked lost in a game where we needed him. Hopefully this will be a learning experience for him in the games to come.
