11/23

 

 

Here was another terrific game to start the college hoops season. The game was back and forth throughout but a late three by Jason Clark sealed the deal. I have liked Clark since last year, and this year is the Hoyas main perimeter threat and has really scored the ball well of late. Henry Sims also had a terrific game for Georgetown. He made a few great backdoor passes from their halfcourt offense and made the most of his touches scoring wise too. I was impressed by the fluidity of the Hoyas offense, if they execute like that for the rest of the season they will be one hell of a team. Coming in to this year, I had Georgetown 8^th or 9^th in the Big East, but after their Maui performance I think I might move them up to 6 or 7 jumping Villanova and Cincinnati.

 

Memphis simply does not look like a top 10 team right now. They purposely play at a fast pace but often times they go too fast and end up wasting possessions. Memphis seems pretty undisciplined and makes many stupid mistakes like bad passes on the break with numbers or settling for bad shots. The ultimate example occurred on Tuesday against Tennessee where Witherspoon thought the game was over so he grabbed the rebound and ran up the court and was called for traveling. Barton is great in control, but he like the rest of the team plays too frenetic at times. Witherspoon gives inconsistent performances and at times inconsistent effort. Tarik Black seems to be a nice player but he can rarely play since he is always in foul trouble. In this game he only picked up one foul in the first half but still ended up fouling out. Thomas is not ready to contribute at a high level, and Jackson is relied upon too much to control the offense and made a few questionable plays in this game. I think Memphis should be ranked around 20, their top 10 rank was just too high.
