MTC Breaks Down the Stags
Georgetown doesn't have a plethora of outlets diligently covering the program. Yet those that do, excel.
One is MTC Media, run by founder Marcus Washington. Replete with multiple team and sport coverage, MTC has niched itself in the basketball world as platform that provides reasoned, informed analysis. This is not a place for ill-informed conjecture.
Regarding the Fairfield game, Washington, also owning present AAU coaching and previous high school, bench experience, dropped some thoughts on the Stags. That is included below.
For Washington and MTC's pregame look, access this video report!
"Rhode Island pressured the guards and sped them up" noted Washington. The guards are poor decision-makers and bad shooters. Fairfield was 4-29 from three and that was a mix of can't shoot it and bad shot selection. Fairfield fouled a lot and the game got chippy. Rhode Island players ended up with a couple of techs".
Washington continued with "They did get 16 offensive rebounds but part of that they were rebounding bad shots.
"The one player I liked was Peyton Smith" shared MTC Media's main guy. "Even though he was 2-7 from the field (3 blocks) and fouled out, he can be effective in the post. He just doesn't have help".
