Halftime update here for those who can’t see the game…its been a tough one, real close. Teams enter the half at 32-27 G’Town advantage, after a poor last possession by Corey Fisher that ends with a Greg Monroe alley-oop as time expires. Both teams are playing outstanding D and terrible offense. I think both teams have combined 2-20 from 3-pt line.
The majority of Villanova’s points have come from the free throw line. All of Scottie’s points are from the line, and Georgetown may wind up in foul trouble later in the game.
Greg Monroe and Chris Wright have been doing the damage for G’Town. Monroe is one of those extremely underwhelming talents. He doesn’t look that good, but he’s been getting the job done.
Things to watch for in the second half:
- We need to settle down on offense. Corey’s been a little out of control, and so has Scottie. I think we need to slow down a little and look for Dante more.
- While we need to settle down, we still need to keep attacking and try and keep Georgetown in foul trouble.
- Contain Monroe, he’s been the key to the game. If we double/triple team him, he’s been finding the open man, if we single him, he takes it to the hoop. I think our best approach is to let Dante try and deny position like he did in the very beginning of the game.
Hopefully second half starts to go our way. Let’s Go Cats!`
