Georgetown schedule

GMG_Dallas · December 18, 2017

As of about a week ago, our next opponent Georgetown had played the easiest schedule in all of division 1 basketball. Before the Syracuse loss, they were 8-0 against teams with a combined record of 21-63 (as of a week ago). In that week their records haven't changed much so I'm considering this to still be relevant...

Looking forward to a competitive game against a nationally known program. GMG!

Edit: after a quick look, looks like those 8 wins are now against teams with a combined 24-67 record. A 9 point win against 6-5 North Carolina A&T is their best win.With Syracuse at 9-1, they've played teams with a combined 33-68 so far this season.

Saturday evening's win was a nice statement game for the guys on the road, but beating USD is not going to turn many casual fans' heads. Winning VS Georgetown would be huge for publicity.

As I'm sure most of you already know, McCasland's Arkansas State team beat Georgetown last year.

What's gonna make pulling this one out that much tougher is not having Tikhonenko, Gibson, and likely Duffy. For obvious reasons, but specifically for three-point shooting.

Those are all guys who, when healthy, should average more than one made three per game. On Saturday night, we only made one three-pointer by someone other than Smart. Threes are a great equalizer when playing bigger teams, especially from top conferences. Luckily this group will be together for a while, but it's a shame we aren't closer to full strength for an opportunity like this.
