Sully’s Court: Gtown, Mizzou run it up
My viewing habits: Highly entertaining and, for these days, an unusual style of basketball as Georgetown beat Missouri 111-102 in overtime. Georgetown led by 18 in the first half but you could just feel that Missouri was going to get back into the game with its relentless, full-court defensive pressure and uptempo offense. For the most part, Georgetown did well against the pressure, making the most of the opportunities they got by beating it. The Hoyas were unconscious from behind the arc, hitting 15 and they also made all 18 of their free throws. Still, Missouri should have won in regulation except for missing three of four free throws in the final 19 seconds and not getting one defensive rebound that bounced off several people before landing in the hands of Georgetown’s Chris Wright who nailed a three to send the game into overtime. In the OT, the Hoyas just couldn’t miss. It was tremendous to see uptempo basketball being played; there’s not enough of it in college basketball. If this had been an NCAA tournament game, it would have been an instant classic.
Surprising scores, amazing margins: Illinois 79, North Carolina 67: Is it surprising that North Carolina loses anymore? No. The Heels couldn’t handle Illinois guard Demetri McCamey. Northwestern 91, Georgia Tech 71: The Wildcats are definitely an NCAA contender. Florida Atlantic 61, Mississippi State 59: Big upset for Mike Jarvis, who’s been under the radar, and is now in his third season in Boca Raton. Miami 86, Mississippi 73: Miami had a bad loss to Rutgers so I guess this evens things out. The Hurricanes led by 30 at the half. Western Carolina 66, Bradley 65: Bradley has lost consecutive games to Eastern Illinois and Western Carolina. No, Southeast Missouri is not next on the schedule. Auburn 78, Georgia Southwestern 50: Auburn finally found an opponent they can beat. Washington State 84, Sacramento State 36: The Cougars scored the first 27 points of the game. Washington 102, Long Beach 75: The Huskies have scored more than 100 points three times already. I’d like to see them play Missouri. South Dakota State 82, Nevada 65: The Jackrabbits are 6-0. Nevada has fallen on hard times at 1-5.
