As Casual Hoya puts it, “ Everything that could have went wrong for Georgetown ended up happening in a soul-crushing demolition by Pittsburgh.” Wednesday night’s 72-57 conference loss was the Hoya’s fourth in five Big East games and suddenly find themselves in a world of hurt.
Pittsburgh Vs. Georgetown: Hoyas Season On The Brink After Fourth Big East Loss
I can’t point the finger at a specific player, class or even coach. All I know is that these next six games before we head to Syracuse to face the enemy up north will have repercussions that last for longer than this season. A few more games like tonight and we will have a hard time keeping underclassmen and current recruits, as well as signing future recruits. We’ve seen this team play extremely well this year, and hell, it’s not inconceivable that they rip off next six games and sit at 7-4 heading up to the Carrier Dome. But right now, it’s very hard to envision.
The first five games of this Big East season have been like the five stages of grief. Against Notre Dame, I was in denial. “Oh no, we just had a bad shooting night, we’re fine, white people suck.” Against Depaul, I was angry. Against St. John’s, I was bargaining. “How could we possibly not box out on the last possession?” After the loss to West Virginia, I was depressed. Tonight, I am just accepting. Georgetown is at as low of a point it has been in a long time and it is on those guys in the locker room, from JT3 down to the managers, to dig themselves out. As fans, all we can do is continue to hope, continue to cheer, and continue to document our lunches. I’m choosing to keep believing.
