So is Ewing that bad?

[Newhouser]

That team has some talent, good size and...stink. Jesse is a dumb foul waiting to happen, throw it inside. We struggle against physical in your face D, muck the game up. He was strategically uninvolved.

They looked prepared in the early stages.

I don’t know. Maybe they’re just a shooter and/or playmaker away? My first time seeing them, and I spend more time watching what We do. I didn’t see glaring weaknesses, just not a way for them to get consistent or balanced scoring. But, they’re still pretty close to where we are. If we played in their building, maybe the game goes the other way. I don’t see a vast chasm between us and them.

Yeah, they play hard and physical, but they could use a guy who can make a three, and another guy who can set up their big men better. They don't look like a terrible team to me. Didn't these guys beat us last year with many of the same players?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Where did their really good freshman (Mohammed?) go?

 

[IthacaMatt]

You know what sucks? Syracuse v. Georgetown doesn't even get a write up on ESPN.

 

[phil77]

Yes he isn't a good coach. It will be crazy when they are forced to fire him.

 

[Day2]

Since Ewing has been the head coach, every year we’ve won against Georgetown we’ve made the tournament. And every year we’ve lost to Georgetown we’ve missed the tournament.

Just saying.

 

[Biaxtar]

Delaware Blue Coats. 76ers G-League

 

[Cusefan0307]

He stinks. They have zero idea how to play defense and zero plan on offense.

I remember the board freaked out when we lost Wahab to them and now Jesse is twice the player he is.

 

[DoctorBombay]

GTown, and Ewing!
As a New Yorker i give him props for his time w/ my Knickerbockers, but Georgetown Ewing can go kick rocks.
Far as im concerned, GTown hoops can wallow in the mire forever. ‘em, ‘em all!

It's weird too.. they actually came all the way back vs Texas Tech to take the lead but couldn't finish.

Dude I cannot find a writeup in The Washington Post.

Wow, that's sad.

I bet Ewing is fired this year and could see someone like Jared Grasso coming in and making an immediate impact there

 

[djorange1989]

I’m too lazy to look it up but I am guessing we are the last high major they beat?

 

[Madbiker]

When Syracuse-Georgetown played back in the good old days there were always 5-6 future NBA players on the court. Not now. Yesterday maybe just Jesse. Maybe.

 

[GreekFreak]

Yep

You’re probably right. They went 0-20 in the Big East last year

 

[CardiacCuse]

A good coach is a good coach because of his mental acumen.

Patrick Ewing is not/was not a successful basketball player because of his mental powers. He is simply big af.

Can't teach 7'1", as they say...and, being 7'1" doesnt mean you can teach basketball, either.

Doesn't he have some internal scandal going on, too?

No.

They basically turned over the whole roster. All 5 starters are from last Spring's portal:

Murray (LSU)
Heath (ASU--and BC)
Wahab (UMd)
Spears (Duquesne)
Akok (UConn)

I remember Akok being at UConn, but I thought Wahab was there last year.

He went to Maryland for one year, then back to Georgetown. It's the world we live in.
