Monday Morning Point Guard

A few quick thoughts after reading the sports page this morning:
  • Interesting to note that NC State has beaten two of the teams left in the Sweet 16 - Villanova and Davidson. Conversely, they have also gotten blown out, by huge, embarrassing margins, by two of the teams - Carolina and Michigan State.
  • Some whining in the Post this morning about the Hoyas being forced to play a road game even though they won the Big East regular season. Carolina fans waiting for the Tar Heel game didn't root for Davidson out of in-state solidarity but because they were the underdog. If Georgetown had played Davidson in Birmingham, Anaheim, wherever, the crowd would have pulled for the underdog there too.  
  • Bottom line, you are not going to win an NCAA tournament game when you have 11 assists against 20 turnovers. I was surprised by how badly Wallace played. He didn't get the ball down low enough or get Hibbert in the game.  Very odd performance from Georgetown's veteran point guard. 
  • Deon Thompson and Alex Stephenson scored 26 points on 13-13 shooting.  Just like to type that.
