Tobacco Road Report

The story in this game was second chance points for the Hoyas. Georgetown grabbed 15 offensive rebounds and turned them into made baskets. Hibbert, Green, and Summers were all active on the offensive glass and it paid off in spades, allowing the Hoyas to shoot 25-56 from the floor despite missing most of their first shots. Georgetown was also good from deep when it counted, converting 8 of 19 from beyond the arc.

In contrast, Vandy hit a dry spell and couldn't shake it despite the fact that Hibbert spent much of the second half on the pine and eventually fouled out. For the game Vandy finished a woeful 9 of 27 from deep. There were 4 to 6 wide open looks from three in the second half that didn't fall. Gotta make those to advance.

Oh...and you need officials that aren't scared to call a travel on the opposing team's best player in the crunch. Green walked like a jaybird and got away with it. Heck, even Seth and Clark saw it. You know it's obvious then.
