Let's go Toppers! I believe!
To be fair, the Hoyas lost to some really good teams then.- In 2008, they were the second victim of heavyweight serial killer Stephen Curry, losing to No. 10 seed Davidson in the second round as a No. 2 seed.
- In 2010, No. 3 seed Georgetown lost 97-83 to the DJ Cooper-led Ohio Bobcats in the first round in a game that they simply never seemed to have a chance.
- The same thing happened in 2011, when No. 11 seed VCU, fresh off of a win in the play-in game, drubbed the Hoyas 74-56 in the opening round of the tournament.
- Last year, No. 11 seed NC State picked off No. 3 seed Georgetown 66-63.
As for this year, I'll argue that this year's Georgetown team actually overachieved during the regular season. Though they played well after losing Greg Whittington for the season, Whittington's presence took the pressure off of Otto Porter and Hopkins, among others.
Also, as previous stated , Florida Gulf Coast previously defeated the Miami Hurricanes, albeit in mid-November.
All of this stated, there is a lot of merit in what Mutaman stated about J.T III.
He seems slow, at least he did tonight, in making adjustments, such as finally, when the Hoyas were far behind, deciding to try to run with FGC - which the T.V analysts (and every person in every living room or Sports Bar) were clamoring for Georgetown to do.

JohnThompson Junior sucks. Nepotism at its finest.

True.
But the Tar Heels were, as always, loaded.
Upsets happen, as they often do in a one-and-done tournament.
That's one of many reasons why the NCAA tournament is, IMO, the best sporting event of the year, rivaled only by MLB opening day, or at least the way MLB used to open the season. But that's a topic for another thread.

No he doesn't suck. He recruits decent players, as far as I know runs a clean program, and every year during the regular seasons puts a very tough team on the floor. But he clearly has a problem getting his team ready for the NCAA. And you can say the same thing about Mike Brey and Jamie Dixon.
Western Kentucky can't buy a bucket. Still hanging around.
