Pressers, including Georgetown's - HC Ed Cooley, grad forward Micah Peavy, junior guard Jayden Epps - and Donny Lind, St. Francis' head coach, were initially published on Premium Court. As a solid to Rivals.com subscribers, the Hoyas' session is included below.

Cooley's guys raced to a 15 point lead, being up 12 with around nine minutes before intermission. Then a lid grew over the bucket, as Georgetown ended up being down three with a minute, 14 seconds before halftime. At the buzzer, G'Town led merely 37-36. For those counting, that's a 21-9, scoring run for St. Francis.

What happened?

Cooley initially credited a lack of reserve production, noting "I'm very disappointed when we went with a substitution pattern. I don't think we had any chemistry or rhythm". Wound into the swoon was also foul trouble from freshman big Thomas Sorber (nine points, five rebounds).

There was also a key adjustment made, one Cooley's guys faltered with - a 2-3 zone.

"I was" answered Cooley, when he was asked ff his team's zone stumble was shocking. "In all transparency, we haven't worked on zone much. It's something we have to compare for, as we know our next couple of opponents, may play some zone.

"We probably had 15-20 minutes working on it. They haven't shown a lot of zone, so that was good by their coach, putting it out there and seeing what it does.

"I thought we impacted it enough, to get them to change defenses. Any coaches that change defenses, can keep a coach off guard.

"Again when you're preparing, you only have so many hours to prepare. We'll be prepared when the next zone comes"

Cooley credited his team's defense, led by Peavy (24p, 3r, 3s) and Epps (21p, 6r). To him, both, defensively in the second half, were "elite, elite".

Lind commented on his zone thusly: It was two fold, Probably the most zone we've played all year (ratifying Cooley's assessment)...Try and rest some guys...Due to our injury situation, our rotation wasn't as deep and wanted to keep certain guys on the floor as much as possible. And also, because of their size".

Did Peavy agree early full court pressure seemed to supercharge their effort?: "I definitely agree with that" (it was their 2-2-1, 3/4 court scheme)

What drove Epps' six rebound performance? "Man, (it was) coach hitting on me about rebounding. It was a game...I didn't have any rebounds. In practice he was on me about it. Even after practice, he would call my phone and say 'You didn't have any rebounds last game'.

"So I know that's an important thing. The bigs are in there tipping the ball out. Guards we have to get in there and rebound. And when the guards rebound, it makes the break easier'.
