Concluding it’s week-long college basketball preview, the Post published its Georgetown season preview today. Camille did a nice job. Nothing very new.
Observations and notes:
- If they don’t make the tourney this year it would be a great disappointment
- I’ve heard JTIII say that he doesn’t focus on intermediate goals (Elite 8, Final 4, etc.) but only focuses on winning the national championship.
“You look around this league, and making the Big East tournament is still, you have a checklist and it’s still number one,” Thompson said.
- JTIII has a great respect for the BET and thinks that each team should make it (although logistics make that near impossible). I think that’s partially because he feared not making it his first year.
- If Crawford is such the “heart and soul” why hasn’t he played more? He did greatly improve his 3 point stroke this summer.
- Green and Crawford (the captains) were vocal in practice during drills.
- Nice to have the environment where Green can tutor Summers and Roy can teach Vernon. I’m sure thats like it used to be with Pops, but there hasn’t been that level of talent while I’ve been on the Hilltop.
- Thinking back to the Florida game hurts. During his speech before the season, JTIII refused to answer if he thought the Hoyas would’ve won the National Championship if they had beat Florida. Roy was sitting in the row behind me, and unprompted gave a big thumbs up. I like that level of confidence, but that hurts to think about.
- I like Ewing saying that he wants to win more championships than his dad. Let’s hope he can contribute as much as some think.
Season starts in 35 hours from the time I finish writing this. Those hours can’t pass quick enough.
