Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

How Does Georgetown Get Credit for This Schedule?

I put this schedule together because I wanted this team to be tested.

That's John Thompson III on Georgetown's early schedule, which Andy Katz then breaks down, as if it's truly impressive. In fact, it goes a little something like this:

  • Opener at Tulane
  • Home against Temple
  • Travel to Savannah State.
  • Then the 3 headed monster of Lafayette, Mount St. Mary's and American at home
  • Butler in New York at the Jimmy V Classic
  • Washington at the Wooden Classic in Anaheim
  • Home against CAA favorite Old Dominion.

Okay, that's a lot of traveling. But none of those sound like exceptionally tough teams. If Syracuse played that schedule we'd be hearing all about how SU plays no one until January.

I tell ya, no respect.

ESPN hates Syracuse, that's all.

And I’d like to propose a moratorium on all Ge*rget*wn talk until we play them (no looking ahead). We have a big game against Carolina tomorrow night; let’s focus!

You're right. Even the fans can't lose focus on tonight.

For what it’s worth, I wasn’t searching for information on Georgetown. I was just reading that article for college bball info and Katz threw the G’town information at me!

Because all that matters is whether you leave the geographic boundaries of your state...

Quite obviously, when a private University like Syracuse plays anywhere from Watertown to Olean, it is a “home” game. If they were to play in Erie, PA… suddenly it would be a road game. Just need to cross the boundaries.

Conversely… when Florida plays in Tampa… its a neutral site game. Assuming it is not declared a “road game” because there are twelve Syracuse grads in the area.

What good does G’town get out of Savannah St.? If you win, you were supposed to win. If you lose… now you have a “bad loss.” Their problem, not ours.

Butler and Washington

are good tests. Everything else is meh, but those are two real good teams.
