Last night was a failure on many levels. I can forgive the clunky offense with both point guards out. That is to be expected. We can do without one or the other, but not without both.
What is harder to forgive was the defense by four guys (Oweh, Chandler, Garrison, and Noah) who all returned from a team that got cooked on defense all season long. Two of those guys — Chandler and Oweh — have been billed as great defenders. They were embarrased by Georgetown’s guards all night. The sky isn’t falling, but it’s hard to be positive after that effort. I turned the game off about 5 minutes into the second half when it became apparent the Cats just had no energy and no answers, so I didn’t see the alleged smiling and laughing from certain players. But if that’s true, that’s rather discouraging as well.
