Sleeping with the Enemy: The Red Storm of St. John's
by CasualHoya on Feb 10, 2012 5:01 PM EST
in Sleeping with the Enemy
Now that some time has passed to let the wounds heal after the overtime thriller at Syracuse, we're ready to move forward to Georgetown's next opponent, the St. John's Red Storm. Special thanks to our jovial Johnnies friend Rumble in the Garden, who is back for another round of Casual Q&A and share everything he knows about all things Stormy. Since the Hoyas throttled St. John's at the Garden in January, this round's on us.

What's changed since we've last seen one another?
Maurice Harkless a/k/a Moe a/k/a So Harkless has had a trio of big scoring games. D`Angelo Harrison is stroking it from outside. Phil Greene is looking more confident as a scoring point/ combo guard type. Outside of that, not much has changed... except the loss of another player, because that's how it rolls this season. The veteran guard, Malik Stith, decided to leave the team for reasons that seem unclear. He wasn't, you know, that effective - see his multi-zero stat lines - but a 6 man squad has to hold back for fear of wheezing and coughing their way up the court in the second half. Also: the Johnnies tasted hope against Duke and West Virginia, but were fed a heaping of SIT DOWN, YOUNG'IN from Syracuse and Cincinnati.
The season seems long and there's not enough gin. Or things to mix gin with.

The Suxa Awards: What's Up, Loserfaces?
by Hoya Suxa on Feb 10, 2012 1:51 PM EST
Ed. Note: With Georgetown's loss on Wednesday, Hoya Suxa won this year's edition of "The Bet." This is him cashing in his chips.
Hey, best friends and friendettes! Are you ready for your favorite part of the day? (You know, the part where I totally ruin it?) Terrific! Let’s hand out some accolades!
Please note: Things got a little hazy for me around the 8:00 mark of the second half. Buckets of beers tend to impact my ability to operate heavy machinery like motoring vehicles and simple machinery like bar stools.

Gerry McNamara Heart of an Actual Champion Award
via hoyasuxa.files.wordpress.com
Pew! Pew! I shot you in the heart (or, as you’re Hoyas, where a heart would be)!
29 points, 6-11 from distance, seven boards, and 45 minutes of dream-crushing for those in topsiders and punch-o-gram worthy seersucker pants. When you consider that Joseph is Canadian and given the current exchange rate, that box score line looks even better with superfluous vowels and a slight slur from all the Molson necessary to stomach it.

Pregame Party: St. John's at Georgetown
by OverTheHilltop on Feb 10, 2012 8:35 AM EST
in Previews and Predictions
Your Georgetown Hoyas return home hoping for a bounce-back win on Sunday against St. John's, which looks for revenge for the Hoyas' 20-point win in Madison Square Garden. For Georgetown, this game is the first of five straight in which the Hoyas likely will be favored. A sweep of those games practically could assure Georgetown a top-four conference finish and a Big East Tournament double-bye, while a few losses could drop the Hoyas back into the pack, perhaps an echo of recent regular season-closing disappointments. While a late-season fade seems less likely this year than in years gone by (barring, knock on wood, an injury or illness), few Hoya fans would deny that the season still hangs very much in the balance. But Georgetown can win only one game on Sunday, so let's get you ready for it.

The Morning After: Young Hoyas Impress in Overtime Loss to Syracuse
by CasualHoya on Feb 9, 2012 9:20 AM EST
in Morning After
If you're a Georgetown fan, there's nothing to be ashamed of after last night's thrilling overtime loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. Nothing. At. All. These Hoyas fought hard and were a bounce away from defeating one of the best teams in the country on their home court. If anything, I feel better about this team now than I have all season. Let's get to the links...
Night Court: One of the best nights this season - CBSSports.com
Game of the Night: Syracuse and Georgetown was the better game. And that's the tremendous thing about it. When most of the sports world tuned in to ESPN to watch two classic hoops rivalries, both tilts delivered in a huge way.
Georgetown-Syracuse classic a reminder of what Big East will miss - Michael Rosenberg - SI.com
Georgetown basketball will survive. Syracuse will play great games against Duke and North Carolina and Maryland. But it won't be the same. You can't sign a contract to loathe somebody. And even if Syracuse and Georgetown keep the playing, the rivalry will be a shell of itself.
Hoyas lose heartbreaker at Syracuse
Whether intimidated or not, 6-10 Henry Sims had an awful game, going 1 for 12 from the floor and finishing with six points and eight rebounds. "The ball just wouldn't go in," Thompson said. "He was getting the ball in pretty good position right under the basket. At the end of the day, he got it right there and the ball didn't go in. It happens sometimes.

Georgetown Loses, America Loses: Syracuse Defeats Hoyas 64-61 In Overtime Thriller
by JGD on Feb 8, 2012 9:39 PM EST
in Game Summaries
What a brutal way to lose such a hardfought game. Georgetown, with 10 freshmen and sophomores, went up to the Carrier Dome and outplayed Syracuse for 45 minutes. Yet, the experienced Orange prevailed where the young Hoyas couldn't. Kris Joseph hit a dagger 3 pointer with 26 seconds left in overtime to beat Georgetown 64-61. Thankfully, it is only February, because if Georgetown lost a game like this in the NCAA Tournament, I'm not sure I'd get out of bed for a week.
Georgetown had PLENTY of opportunities to win this game, but they weren't ready to do so. Henry Sims hurt us down the stretch, not converting layups and getting blocked on the Hoyas final possession in regulation. Otto Porter was the exact opposite, showing people across the country what we've seen all year - this kid is special, and will be special for a long time. Porter had 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Jason Clark had an enormous 13 points, including two ridiculous three-pointers late in the second half.

Stay Casual My Friends
Casual - Like aloha, casual means a lot of things. Best described as a lifestyle choice, casual can be applied to many facets of life. Certain people are casual. Certain foods are casual. Certain things are casual. And certain Big East teams that play at the Verizon Center can be both casual and not casual depending on the game. Casual is a living, breathing, ever-expanding and all-encompassin
