I don't disagree with Ewing's schedule strategy

New Georgetown head coach Patrick Ewing has taken a lot of criticism for his soft non-conference schedule, but I see method in his madness. The storied program had fallen on hard times. The Big East is brutally difficult. It was almost certain that Georgetown was not going to bounce back in a single season. What Ewing had to do was to get his team accustomed to winning again, and that he did with his schedule. They will take their lumps this season in conference, but they likely would have anyway. There is plenty of time to bulk up the schedule next year.
