hard to figure. They're young, but well coached and play disciplined ball with pretty strong D.

On the other hand, Hibbert is not the beast that they want him to be. I think that's their problem. He played one great game in the tourney last year and everyone thought he was about to bring it. That just hasn't been the case.

I've noticed that. I haven't watched them play much, but from what I've seen his reputation is greater than his actual play.

Yeah, when Georgetown played Memphis Hibbert displayed the classic "deer in the headlights" symptoms...

For their size and length, the Hoyas should also be much better on the boards.

I agree - don't know if GT is overrated so much as Hibbert is overrated. Not saying he's bad, but I just don't think he belongs in any discussions of the best players in college ball right now.
