W. Post - Gene Wangwww.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/georgetown-basketball-hangs-to-top-charlotte-81-78/2014/12/20/bba12d9a-87d1-11e4-a702-fa31ff4ae98e_story.htmlExcerpt The 49ers finished 6 for 11 from three-point range in the second half, mirroring a deficiency that in large part contributed to Georgetown’s 75-70 loss to 10th-ranked Kansas on Dec. 10 at Verizon Center. In that game, the Jayhawks made 10 of 17 from beyond the arc, with Brannen Greene going 5 for 5.
The Hoyas (7-3) this time were able to outlast their Conference USA opponent thanks to 14-of-15 shooting from the foul line in the second half and overall inside supremacy, starting with a 38-22 advantage in points in the paint. They also held significant margins in offensive rebounding, 20-9, and second-chance points, 18-9.

CASUAL HOYAGeorgetown Escapes Charlotte's Late Comeback, 81-78OverTheHilltopwww.casualhoya.com/2014/12/21/7429525/georgetown-hoyas-charlotte-49ers-game-recapExcerptGeorgetown won a weird one Saturday, building two double-digit leads only to give them away and escape late with an 81-78 win over Charlotte. The Hoyas ran their way to an early lead, scoring early and often by attacking the rim in transition and pounding the paint in the half-court. But defensive lapses in the open court and at the three point court almost cost Georgetown in the end.

www.lauraprominentplay.com/heroes/hoyas-survive-scare-from-upset-minded-charlotte-81-78/Team Malaise, with Exceptions: How to assess the Hoyas’ performance on Saturday? Hopefully the team played with a Finals Hangover and aced all their exams in the last week. This game was all too reminiscent of the Heart Attack Hoyas of years past! In each half, just when it appeared that the Hoyas were taking control and would pull away, either the Hoyas lost their touch or Charlotte regained theirs. At moments it seems the team would lose focus, allow Charlotte an easy bucket or fall asleep on D. Defense was an issue on Saturday, yielding too many idea open looks to Charlotte, who knocked enough down to scare the Hoya faithful, shooting better both from the field (46%) and the 3-point line (38%) than the home team (Hoyas, 39& and 35%). The ultimate edge came at the free throw line, and while Charlotte hit more free throws (24 to 23), the Hoyas bested the 49ers in percentage made (77% to 72% for the game). The Hoyas also had the rebounding edge, 43 to 32.
