Okay, I realize that the Post columnists are obvious homers for Georgetown. Hell, it is nice to know that they have enough full time columnists left to call homers. Anyway, I think Boswell and Steinberg need to rethink their bitching about Davidson having home court advantage yesterday. Seriously, are you going to tell me that a #10, whose tallest player is 6-8, from a school of 2000 students total (my high school was bigger!) was at a disadvantage playing in a arena roughly halfway from Charlotte and DC (Charlotte to Raleigh is 3 hours; DC to Raleigh is 4 hours). Come on!! Let's be honest for a second. Georgetown lost that game. End of story. Write all you want about the refs, the crowd, whatever...They lost a game that they should have won especially when they were up 17 points in the second half. Let me say that again, you were up 17 points in the second half and you have one of the best defenses in the country.
With only your team to blame of the loss it is kind of weak to use the crowd argument. I would bet that the crowd would have reacted the same way in any arena not called the Verizon Center. It is called pulling for the underdog. People love that shit...in fact they have made entire movies based on the idea.
Will Davidson be the next George Mason (or better yet, Gonzaga)? Probably not...but Friday, and maybe Sunday, will be fun to watch. And as much credit as Curry gets (and he deserves every bit of it), I think it is obvious that Richardson is really driving that train. Without him this team would have lost yesterday.
