Hoyas Leaving Princeton Pace Behind

Quick: What's the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Georgetown men's basketball team under coach John Thompson III?

Fine, what's the second thing? Yes, the "Princeton" offense. While that read-and-react approach has been central to many successful campaigns, it's also led to a perception/reality that the Hoyas offensive moves slower than fast.

That's not the case early on during the 2016-17 season. Let's not view Georgetown as a run-and-gun attack, but deliberate isn't what's on the menu nearly as much these days.

According to the basketball analytics site KenPom.com, the Hoyas (7-4) enter Thursday's home game against UNC Greensboro (9-3) 32nd nationally in offensive possession length at 15.
