If you have not read the recap and the analysis of the Georgetown Hoyas going 12 rounds with the guard-centric Illinois Fighting Illini in the high-pressure match #2 of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, be sure to check them (and the comments) out because the pieces truly capture the feelings that have swept Hoyas fans watching this young team come alive.
It’s not like James Akinjo, Mac McClung, or Josh LeBlanc were hiding in the first two games, but retrospection seems to indicate that they, Jessie Govan, Trey Mourning, and the whole Georgetown team was playing to the competition level—and perhaps even practicing a little for the expected defensive pressure to come.
