Tunneling out from under two feet of snow, a few thoughts on the Hoyas overwhelming Villanova at Verizon Center yesterday:
Turns out, the South Florida loss was indeed the aberration. I said after the Bulls game that Georgetown took their foot off the gas and put it into reverse, and they bounced back yesterday with the effort, passion and concentration that were missing at midweek and have become a huge part of the momentum that they’ve built with seven games remaining in the regular season. But who wouldn’t get up for Villanova — facing a team ranked No. 2 in the country should be plenty of motivation, whether there are 11 or 11,000 in attendance — and not every one of Georgetown’s remaining games will inspire that kind of emotion. The Hoyas need to find a middle ground where they can execute and play well even when the adrenaline might not be on their side.
