Too bad it ended but at least it ended to a team that played the game of their lives. This happened more than a few times this season, ie., the guys from ODU, USF's Jones during the regular season, MU's Cubillan, the two guards tonight, etc... You can blame Lady Luck so many times. JT3 needs to consider a major defensive adjustment.

I'm just so worried that it'll be the same next season. Something just tells me that he believes so inherently that this is the WAY the game has to be played that he'll keep pushing it no matter how bad a fit it is for certain players, or despite any flaws that can be exploited in it by other teams. Seriously, when is the last time you remember us playing a press that used to be the epitome of what the Georgetown defense was?

Funny how the fans that show up at the end of the season to post are the same people who rip into the guys most vehemently.
Crazy highs and lows this year but the imrovement was evident. You guys put in a lot of hard work and it showed. It didn't show tonight but those of us that love this school and this team and watch every minute of every game (sometimes multiple times) saw and appreciate how far you've come since last year. Thanks Hoyas. Hopefully, we'll see you all next year!

Defense was terrific in the BE Tourney b/c the players were committed to it. Committment was lacking today.

Long day at work on the road kept me from watching today's game, and it is probably just as well. I turned straight to this thread, because whatever sting of disappointment I might feel tonight, I belive any true Hoya fan ought to thank the 09-10 Hoyas for a terrific season. Sure, we had downs as painful and harsh eough to match the highs offered by our signature victories. But I for one am thankful:
Thanks to Freeman for unmatched courage and grace under pressure, to Wright for leadership and guts, to Monroe for skill and poise, to Clark for still-under-appreciated talents, to Vaughan for stepping up and getting the job done, to the bench for being much more than most gave you credit for. And to coach for being a leader, a teacher, and an example.
All represented our university with class and integrity; heartfelt thanks from a proud and dedicated fan.
Hoya Saxa!

As time goes on people will see that the brighter moments of the season outweighed the setbacks. Look at where this team was in the last days of Dajuan Summers, Jessie Sapp and Omar Wattad and know that this group more then held its own in the toughest league in college sports.
Here's to a healthy senior year for Austin Freeman, a junior year for Greg Monroe, and a successful debut for Markel Starks and Nate Lubick.
Now, about that defense...

Not easy to do what our Hoyas did. I know they worked their asses off.

There were highs and lows, but there were many great wins and moments this year. I wish it had ended differently, but thanks guys for a great run!

some great highs...the snowstorm game, the duke game, the cuse game @ the big east.
some crazy lows...
it was a team i enjoyed watching, except for two or three games. come back stronger next year and never take a game for granted. last year they had no chemistry and no fight. this year they had too little energy and a little too much confidence. next year let's put it together.

Thank you for so many great wins. Thank you for UConn, Pitt, Duke, 2nd Villanova, 3rd Syracuse, partial Big East Tourney run! There were some truly great wins.
Sorry about the losses, and the many comebacks that fell short. Sorry about the ups & downs which led to so many increased expectations, and some heavy disappointments. Next year hopefully come back stronger, and more consistent. And with better defense & rebounding.

Thanks for the extraordinary time and effort you put into the off-season and the season. You gave it all you have, usually with good results, but there were a few bumps in the road. I am proud of your on-court performance and for your class in representing Georgetown and yourselves. And pox on anyone who is not mature enough to give you thanks. Best of everything in the off-season, in the class and in the gym. God bless.

Last night was just too soon to post in this thread, but after a day of reflection...
THANK YOU 2009-2010 GEORGETOWN MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM[/size]
Thanks to the players, coaches, and staff who worked hard, overcame adversity, led the team back in the NCAAs and to a BET final, played some thrilling games, and represented the school with class and pride on and off the court.
Sure there were negatives, sure there are questions and doubts, sure there is disappointment. For all the negatives, there were a LOT of positives this season; it just didn't culminate the way any of us would have liked. In the end, I'm sure the team's feelings on yesterday's result are much more deeply felt that of ours as fans. They don't need us piling it on. Right now, they need our support and encouragement as fellow Hoyas. We should give it freely.
Hoyas, thank you for your hard work, sacrifices, ability to persevere, and for returning G'town to national prominence after a rough season last year. As many on the team have said and tweeted, you're a special gorup with a strong bond. Stick together, the best is yet to come! I'm already looking forward to being at the Phone Booth for game 1 of the 2010-2011 seat cheering you on.
WE ARE GEORGTOWN.
