hah!
georgetown was predicted to go 4-12 in the Big East this year, and that, frankly, was generous ... we start 3 freshmen (including 1 freshman walk-on), none of whom were highly recruited ... our depth has been decimated the last few years by transfers and we have a brand new coach (john thompson III) whose style takes a while to learn
we were 8-3 at one point in the Big East ... this is unbelievable, honestly ... a five game losing streak brought us back down to 8-8, but its still light years ahead of where i expected us to be at this point.
one of our freshmen, jeff green, will be frosh of the year in the big east ... he'll beat uconn's rudy gay, who was widely expected to jump right to the NBA out of high school, and probably will make the jump this offseason
we have a young team, a new coach with top-notch pedigree, a couple of highly rated recruits for next year, and we're on the right path ... next year will only be better, which we haven't been able to say for years and years
so yeah, in light of all of that, it really sucks to be a georgetown basketball fan ... just really, really, really sucks, thanks for rubbing my face in all this failure.
