With how Georgetown’s NCAA Tournament profile looked coming into the weekend, it didn’t seem out of reach to explore the possibility that the Hoyas could indeed make a run at a No. 1 seed with a couple of big wins and a few timely losses by some combination of Syracuse, Villanova and West Virginia.
But after Sunday’s upset loss at Rutgers, all of a sudden Georgetown doesn’t seem to have that strong a grip on a No. 2 seed that looked a like a lock when the sun came up this morning. Of course, matchups will ultimately play a big part in what Georgetown achieves next month, but today’s loss might also affect the Hoyas’ seeding in the Big East tournament – they’ve now dropped to 5th, which knocks them out of the running for a top-four spot and the double-bye that comes with it.
