28 guys getting named to the All-Big East teams is a joke. They need to cut it down.
And, of course, congrats to Jeff, Roy, Dajuan and Jon.

A 2 is better, because we'd surely rather play teams like WSU, Memphis, Pitt, or SIU than A&M, Wisconsin, Florida, or UNC.

Make sure to check craigslist - there are a ton. You can get them for cheap, too. Face for good seats (200 or better), less for everything else.

There are currently 1136 tickets for the Friday games on Stubhub. Ticket reselling is getting out of control.

Yea, I know that's ideal - but I won't be able to get to NY until mid-afternoon Friday. So I may not have that option. I'm gonna see if I can have a friend in NY hang around MSG after games on Wednesday and Thursday.

Any idea what I would expect to pay scalpers if i showed up before the games Friday? Right now there are bad seats on stubhub selling for $100-$125.

Kenny Anderson was a good college player, but for what Georgetown needed, I am glad we got Joey Brown instead. Joey Brown was my favorite player for awhile, but c'mon, are you serious? Say no to Kenny? Madgesdiq was being sarcastic. My fear is that it was so obvious that it is possible that JimmyHoya was also being sarcastic, thus resulting in me being owned.

The last game there didn't quite sell out - but being the championship, this one might.

I'm not complaining about this specific game - I've been against the general principle for years. I also think your final 5 minutes is a bit too large - I don't think the change in fouls comes near that early. Then again, I've never seen anyone test it, so I dunno. I also tend to doubt that the change is large enough to make up for earlier sacrificed minutes.
As a side note, do you think coaches are actually thinking about that?? My guess is their number 1 concern is having their top guys for the end of the game, and number 2 is a guy being afraid to play normally due to the foul risk.

The counter argument, hoyaboy, is that if you have two fouls in the first half, you have to play differently -- less agressively -- and likely less effectively. You may get more minutes out of a player if you just leave them out there AND they change their game to avoid fouls, but are those good minutes? If you leave them out and they play the same way, I don't think you can guarantee they get more minutes. Officials also tend to swallow their whistles late. If they don't play differently, over the long haul they will play more minutes than if you sit them out. You are capping the max minutes they can play by benching them. I'd rather maximize minutes even at a higher risk of a player fouling out earlier. Obviously if a guy drastically changes his game to avoid a third foul in the first half but doesn't do that in the 2nd, you'd have to sit him - but that is something the coaches could work on if they chose. The difference in quality between the starters and the bench also needs to be factored in, of course. The better the bench, the less a guy's game needs to change with fouls to justify sitting them.

On 3) We've repeatedly won games all year by sitting our big men when the game is still close. It was close at halftime. That strategy may have hurt us in the sense that we could have been up, but we've won lots of games that way. The second half collapse had a lot more significant causes. As you know, the fact that we have won games in which we sat players with 2 fouls does not necessarily make it a good strategy. Edit - I see this was pointed out above. In general, I don't like sitting players for extended periods - it relies on the theory that late minutes in the game are significantly more important than earlier ones, which I don't believe. It limits the potential minutes a guy can play in an effort to guarantee he'll be there for the last few.

Bostonhoya, amazing work - but I think you made an error in your most recent post.
You said that if Providence loses 8/9 will be Nova v. WV, but you have WV listed as number 7 in every scenario.

Why would you need to leave at 10:30 for a 12 game to get there on time? Are you planning on riding the metro in the wrong direction for a while before turning around?

It's a very stupid chant. Hopefully it suffers the same fate as "he's a freshman."

So I take it that one person can't buy more than one ticket?

Reynolds was very good today, but let's not go crazy. He is still shooting 38% on the year.
This was by far the most tense game we have played - I couldn't stay still for the last few minutes. We proved we can win a close one, and pretty much locked up any tie-breaker with Pitt (assuming we beat them).

"Georgetown has the most efficient offense in the country, shooting over 60 percent inside the arc and rebounding offensive misses at a 41 percent rate, the seventh highest in the country. That all makes sense when you have the size of Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green anchoring the front line." -Fran Fraschilla sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2766700Fran hearts Pomeroy.

This preview was pretty bad. Apparently Wallace isn't that good a shooter.

That can't be right because we're not more efficient than last year. No way we could be more efficient shooting fewer threes and getting to the basket. Without Darrel Owens taking only threes and uncontested layups, I refuse to believe we could be the most efficient team in the nation. And the rest of the top 10 most-efficient offenses in the nation don't shoot tons of threes either. Don't they know that if you hit just 40% from three, it's like 60% from 2? Simple math. Idiots. We are actually shooting basically the same amount of threes as we did last year.
