What Is The Identity Of the 22-23 Hoyas?
They are trying to figure that out. HC Pat Ewing WANTS the team to be inside out and push offensively, press significantly, and play primarily man defense on that end of the floor. They've consistently done none of that, effectively.
Keys To The Game
Keys to the game are the Hoyas can't be scoreless for long stretches, can't let the ball stick, and must remain focused. Defending G.G. Jackson is crucial as well and could be problematic. Inside out offensively is important also.
Prediction
Hoyas win, by less than 10. Why? South Carolina just got drug by GW - who would give Georgetown competition right now also - and in the process demonstrated they may be BEHIND the Hoyas in developing. Also, it would appear G'Town's triumvirate of Brandon Murray, Jay Heath and Primo Spears SHOULD be too much for USC to handle.
