Game 20: Georgetown 12P@MSG (FOX, 570 AM)

In a must win setting, another battle is expected.

GT adds McClung and Mourning to the mix against us, both sat out in our DC win. How much influence will two more contributors have on this game? They can now go really big at any time w a mix Govan/Mourning/Malinowski/Pickett/LeBlanc down low.

Shamorie should be fully healed. We need everyone within the 8 man rotation to really step up as this won't be easy.

Every game is vital from here on out. Gotta beat GTown at home. They will try to beat us with Govan inside.

Should put Ponds on Govan. This way when they switch we may actually have a big on him.

I think Malinowski is tougher problem for us. Mclung is not the shooter he is.

I think it's a bit underestimated how a 75-80% healthy Sham has been on this 1-3 stretch. He makes us go, him at full health is the NPOY we all know, he has been a fraction of that for the past 2 weeks. Our veteran roster in front of 10K+ should finally work to our favor. I hope that the MSG crowd really brings it for them.

Post of the year

Gotta remember to try this time.

At this juncture the pressure on Sunday afternoon is at it's highest point since San Diego St., March of 2015. Can we actually talk matchups and philosophy here? Let's discuss basketball, there is no time to bicker any longer, this is gut check time.

Ok. Can’t swith on govan or their other forwards. Need to stay out of foul trouble. Their pg is back have to contain him.

Hope shamorie gets healthy. In hindsight, probably should have sat for butler

He's not healthy?

If he plays then he’s healthy.

What a dumb thing to say

That is a well known and often used sports tenant. Hard to believe you must not have heard of it. Doesn't mean you have to believe in it.

Georgetown just lost at home to Creighton by 4. The pieces are starting to move into place like the tumblers in a safe. When we beat Georgetown on Sunday we will be 4 and 4 and in 3rd place.

Or a revengeful desperate team will put us further in a hole. I see all our conference games as basically 50-50 propositions.

Another game like Creighton that is close to a must win. Georgetown is near the bottom of the conference but they have lost some very close games. They have more size and length which always could pose a threat to us. Team knows we need this and team comes out fresh after the long layoff and wins by 10.

They looked better than when we 1st played them with the white point and the other big.

Won't be easy.

Is this a must win game at this point?

Go 7-5 to end the regular season and we are fine.  No game specific game is a must win, but this is the easiest game remaining.
