I beg to differ. They shouldn't have been in position to have to play Georgia Tech that early. That team should have been a sure fire top 3 seed.
And having a pass first guard was not the problem when they played Georgia Tech. Both teams scored 100+ that game so offense wasn't the issue. It was lack of effort on defense and on the boards. Thats a Dale Brown problem.
All that aside, ESPN was lit all week in those days. Big Monday where rugged Big East teams could barely score 60 points. I also remember when Georgetown used to recruit the hell out of New Orleans talent. Tuesday was glam night with the ACC/SEC double header. Wednesday was Big 10 night, and Thursday was out west where you had to stay up late to see UNLV or Arizona.
