Coming off an exhilarating, unexpected run through the Big East Tournament, Georgetown met an all too familiar fate on Saturday, bowing out in a 96-73 blowout to 5th-seeded Colorado. The loss was a sad end to a season that started with low expectations but saw the Hoyas develop a real identity as a team and take steps back toward relevance as a program.
Watching the Hoyas get ball-screened ad nauseum triggered traumatic flashbacks to the JT3 era. Buffalo guard McKinley Wright THE FOURTH lived up to the hype, repeatedly presenting the Hoyas with a tough choice: either keep Wright out of the lane, bringing help to cede an open shooter or two on the perimeter, or lock down the perimeter, and let Wright do as he pleases within the arc.
