College Basketball: Do the Georgetown Hoyas Have Enough to Win Big East Title?

Michael ClarkFeb 5, 2011

Austin Freeman might be the best player in the Big East, but does he have enough around him to win the conference?  My answer at this point, is no. 

I think Georgetown has the talent to compete for the title, but they have yet to put together enough of solid play for me to believe they can win the Big East.  Chris Wright and Jason Clark are as good as any in the conference, but the front line is going to be a question mark.  Julian Vaughn shows signs of being dominant, but comes up empty in the next game.  Hollis Thompson was erratic enough to head to the bench, a move that may make the Hoyas better.

After this group, is there anyone that matches up with the elites in the conference?  What do we do when one of these players get into foul trouble?

Having said that, I think the Hoyas do have a chance to be dancing into the Final Four.  If they can put together a run in March the way they are currently playing, they will have enough talent to advance against anyone. 

I think Georgetown will finish in the top five and advance to the semi-finals in the Big East Conference tournament.  If they do, they should be good for a 3-4 seed in the dance.  I think they have a better chance of going deep if they are seeded no higher than between 3-5, since the Hoyas have had a history of falling to teams they should have easily taken care of. 

The Big East conference is good enough to send 12 teams to the dance.  When it comes down to it, I will not be surprised to see a Big East team winning it all, and even further, I won't be surprised if five teams of the Elite 8 are representing the conference.
