WUWS NCAA Tournament Preview Capsule: Georgetown


Team: Georgetown
Conference: Big East
Current Record: 23-7 (9-6)
Notable Wins: More mediocre Big East teams than I care to count

While the other "contributors" to this blog write fluff pieces about their homoerotic mascot fantasies, I'm going to give you analysis that you can take straight to the bank, or a sports book, or straight to hell for all I care.

Georgetown is going to win the national championship.
Senior leadership - check
Good guard play - check
An oversized stiff in the middle- check

Yeah, they've got it all, but thats not why they're going to win it. The last 22 national champions have all shot over 40% from the field for the season. The Hoyas are destroying that mark, shooting 51.2% - 3rd best in the nation! That's higher than Josh Heytvelt on a Friday night. And that's why they're going to win the national championship.

So unless you think 22 years of history is complete hogwash, count on the Hoyas to win the whole thing. And while you're at it, you might want to check out Texas A&M too. No, not that Texas A&M, the one from Corpus Christi. That powerhouse from the South shoots even better than Georgetown!

Bandwagon jumper! The fact that they've beaten more mediocre Big East teams than you can count does impress me though. But I'm still concerned that Roy Hibbert is really a less athletic Rik Smits.
