Does this team have 'em?
We'll see in these last few minutes of a grinder.

Reminds me of last year's game against S. Fla. before the Duke game as well... I'll take a one point win tonight at this point...

oregon is the better team.
they are quicker and faster than G-town.
and they are dictating the tempo of the game.
i think G-town is shell shocked a little bit.
they got hit in the mouth and don't know how to respond.
partly because they can't.

We won't win many games with Jeff scoring 2 points and Roy 4. Jon kept us in this one. Outscored 26-12 the last part of the 2nd half until 2 or 3 to go.

Wow... LEADERSHIP? Where is it?! I guess I REALLY underestimated the loss of last year's seniors... Meanwhile, OSU's FRESHMEN stealing the show early at Carolina... It's looking more and MORE that ALL the juniors on this team THIS year will get the chance to play a season with Freeman and Wright.... I GOTTA find the silver linings ..

What's scary is that Oregon (who is a decent if not good shooting team) shot TERRIBLY tonight while we were pretty good from the field (47%). This could have been an outright blow out.
It's time to significantly reign in the expectations for this team. I'm still not sure by how much, but it's clear we have no business being in the top 25.

So far, they have shown nothing this year. Hopefully, they can turn things around. If not, we'll all be fretting over RPIs and crap like that as we wonder whether they make the tournament.
There's still time to improve, though, as last year showed.

Never thought I'd question this.
Is Jeff going to show up in tough times? Is he going to lead?
Once, you get a pass.
Twice, well I'm almost ready to "look deep inside and see a problem with myself" for expecting a projected lottery pick to do something, anything in two tough games down the stretch.
6 games, 6 leads at the half, two losses with Mr. Green combining for 7 points, 9 shots, and 10 fouls in those outings. Sorry he's so good and the key to this team that he has to take the heat.
Wallace and Egerson outscored the rest by 10 points. Good job guys. Everyone else better figure things out by Saturday.

I thought UO was an uptempo team. How can they be dictating the pace with a 25-23 halftime score? I didn't hear the game, but just from watching yahoo, it seemed at GU's pace.

those 3 seniors meant a lot more to this team than any of us thought. these guys don't have it right now.

They did dictate the pace, esp. in the first half. They just happened to miss a boatload of shots.

Truth be told, this team did not show up. That's just the bottom line.

But how many times can we say that. They haven't shown up for any games this year (with the possible exception of one half vs. Vandy).

1-9 from beyond the arc. Not that Oregon was much better at 6-24, but that's 18 points off 3's for them vs. our 3.

cut down the turnovers and GU wins by 15!! The tempo was set when OU missed a gang of shots. That shoulda been the cue to run them out the building. Vexed at this point.

Read it and weep. The early season flop of the year is Georgetown. Is any other team even in the conversation?
Please prove me wrong on Saturday.

I thought UO was an uptempo team. How can they be dictating the pace with a 25-23 halftime score? I didn't hear the game, but just from watching yahoo, it seemed at GU's pace. You had to have watched the game. Oregon was so freaking quicker than G-town, it was scary. They were bricking shots, good looking shots created off the dribble by beating g-town defenders easily. I was worried after the 1st 5 minutes if this game would be a blow out. JTIII had to counter by putting in a small mostly guard lineup because G-town could not keep up at all early in the first half. And difference in quickness came to bite G-town down in the stretch. People keep saying that G-town doesn't show up are in denial. G-town is getting beat by better teams, right now and I think nobody wants to admit. If you watched the game and didn't know who the ranked team was, you would think it was Oregon who was ranked. Oregon fans in the stands were chanting "overrated".
