Georgetown Chokes

No disrespect, but it has to be said.....Georgetown just choked away what should have been a victory. There's really no other way to put it. The Hoyas are one of the country's top defensive teams and they just surrendered a 47 point second half to Davidson.

As he's had a habit of doing all season, Roy Hibbert simply disappeared in this one.

6 points and ONE rebound.....ONE rebound?!?!?!

It wasn't all on Hibbert's shoulders though....the Hoyas shot an awful 46% from the foul line (8-17).

Give Davidson some credit, they played a heck of a 2nd half. But I don't think they're a better team than G-Town. The Hoyas flat out GAVE this game away. They didn't run their offense, ignored Hibbert at times, and turned the ball over 18 times....while only forcing 5 Davidson turnovers.

Despite all of that the Hoyas had a 17 point lead in the 2nd half....you can't give up a 17 point second half lead.

We'll see how Hibbert's draft stock goes this offseason. I don't think he's anything more than an NBA role player. In fact, I think he's better in that role. He seemed to struggle at times this season as the "go-to" guy for the Hoyas.

Maybe Hibbert sneaks into the lottery because of his size and skill set....but he's not a surefire lottery pick. Especially if some of the better underclassmen come out.
