There is nothing I can say that will be better or more insightful and groovy than the rest of this post. So I will shut up. Here's what they all had to say after yesterday's game. In about three hours I will forget about the Cuse win and focus on Marquette. But I am sure gonna enjoy these three hours.

Today proved nothing about Georgetown. Let me say that again, it proved nothing. I know what you're thinking: "How is that possible? The Hoyas just ran away from the best team in the Big East!" Well, we already knew that Georgetown could beat anyone in the country. We already knew that when their offense is clicking like it was today, they can score like they did today. You can ask Villanova and Duke, who both took a solid whooping from the Hoyas earlier this season.

Moses Abraham Leaning Towards the Hoyas
Good News Thursday Continues! Big man recruit Moses Abraham is expected to announce his decision on Selection Sunday and according to Jerry Meyer of Rivals, "he has been considered a Georgetown lean, especially after the recent commitment of his friend and teammate Jordan Goodman." Hip Hip Hooray!
Orange Crush: Georgetown Defeats Syracuse 91-84 in a Classic

Holy crap. That was quite a game. Georgetown defeated the #1 seed Syracuse Orange today in Madison Square Garden, 91-84. Chris Wright led the Hoyas in the finest performance of any Georgetown player this entire year. Wright had 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists while carrying the Hoyas for the entire game. It wasn't just the statistics for Wright, it was his poise in shredding the zone, the timing when he hit huge shots, and the control he showed running the point position.
Syracuse shot 54% from the field and 55% from three point range and still lost. And by now everyone recognizes just how good this Syracuse team is. Yet, today at least, the Hoyas were better. This game was phenomenal, back and forth, up and down, each team making runs, playing their guts out. And Georgetown was better. It was Wright's virtuoso performance, Austin Freeman icing free throws and attacking the basket, Greg Monroe guarding our rim like Georgetown heroes of yester-year and Jason Clark hitting dagger three after dagger three. Georgetown was better. If nothing else, that has to give us fans a lot of hope for the next month. We just played one of the three best teams in the country, took every shot they had, and still won. Syracuse did not overlook us, they were not flat, they just got beat by a better team today.
Monroe, Freeman and Clark chipped in 50 points, scoring 15, 18, and 17 respectively. Hollis Thompson played 25 minutes, contributing 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals and more than a few heart attacks with those free throws. Vee Sanford scored 2 points with a beautiful floater, those measly points just happened to be the two points that gave us our first lead since early in the first half. What's great about Thompson and Sanford is that they are contributing, they can be trusted, and they will continue to help Georgetown as this month wears on. Hopefully Julian Vaughn is back to full strength soon, he seems to still be fighting the flu bug. Also hoping Arinze Onuaku's injury isn't too bad, nothing worse than not going into the tournament at full strength. If Syracuse is going to make a deep run they need to stop relying on threes and run their offense through Wesley Johnson. Outside of Evan Turner, he is the best swingman in the country, and damn near unguardable for the Hoyas.
Georgetown's defense was erratic for the first 25 minutes of the game, there were too many open layups and open Rautins threes, but we really clamped down in the second half, getting steal after steal and protecting our glass. The defense keyed transition baskets for the Hoyas as well. I'll say it once, I'll say it again, as long as we come with defensive intensity, we will be in every single game. The bad losses weren't from offensive execution, they were from lazy defense.
More than anything, this game put Chris Wright on a different level than he was before, and I'm very happy for him. He takes a lot of crap from Georgetown fans, and all he's done is come out the last two days and been the MVP of the entire Big East Tournament. Big East voters must be kicking themselves a bit for Wright not even getting an honorable mention on any post season tournament team. Hopefully he is using that as fuel to continue his dominant effort in the tournament.
Georgetown will play the winner of Villanova and Marquette tomorrow night. I'm fine seeing either team, although the Revenge Tour 2010 would continue if we played Marquette.
Plenty more tonight and tomorrow. HELL YES WE BEAT CUSE.

I THINK I'M GONNA BOMB A TOWN!
I woke up this morning pretty confident that we were going to lose. Then I watched this, and I knew we were going to win. (but I have since watched "The Humpty Dance," so now I think we'll probably tie.)
Sleeping With The Enemy: SYRACUSE ARMAGEDDON

Oh, man. Here we go again. Georgetown versus Syracuse. Hoyas versus Orange. Good versus Evil. Man versus Food. The curtain to Act III of the biggest and best rivalry in the Big East rises at noon, but first here's another installment of our feature that brings you inside the ropes, outside the lines, and behind enemy territory to get you all the info you need to know about the Syracuse Orange. Special thanks to Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician, our biggest rival for Big East blog supremacy, for valiantly stepping up to the plate and answering our penetrating questions. Be sure to check THIS for our answers to some of theirs. Troy Nunes, this Coors Light is for you.
In prison they make you wear Syracuse garb.
CH: Syracuse had 34,000 strong for the big game against Villanova last month. I'll admit it looked pretty casual on TV and it was nice that you had Erin Andrews parading around the Carrier Dome, but why not just move the damn court to the middle of the Dome so that 50,000 fans could have attended? It's not like there's anything better to do in Cuse on a Saturday night!
It's a valid point. We've wondered for a while now why they don't give it a shot. Based on the initial feedback from the Nova game it sounds like it's something SU will attempt in the near future. The only person who seems to be against it is Jim Boeheim...and if anyone has the pull to put the kibosh on things...it's Jimmy. So we'll see. If not for Syracuse games, I think you'll start to see the move made for when the Dome hosts NCAA Regionals in the future. That's the way things are going in general.
What's it like to be ranked #1 and then blow it by losing to Louisville for the 2nd time in 3 weeks?
It was a bummer. It was awesome to be No. 1 and finally get that validation. By losing right away, it sends out the signal that we aren't quite ready for that kind of rep. True or not. Not to mention the fact that it's official...we can't beat Louisville. We hate you guys but at least we can beat you when the time calls for it. With Louisville, they've got some kind of kryptonite that we can't seem to get around. Maybe it's Pitino, maybe it's their three-point shooting, maybe it's their affinity for random bench players having career games against us...maybe it's all three. It's something all Syracuse fans are miffed about. Yeah, I said miffed.
More fun with Troy Nunes after The Jump:

A Wager with Hoya Suxa: Part Deux

After Georgetown lost to Syracuse at the Verizon Center last month, I was forced to do the unthinkable. After my heart was broken, pieced back together during an unfathomable second half run, and then cruelly stomped on during the closing minutes of a game against a team that bears the name of a citrus fruit, I did something so traitorous that John Carroll rolled over in his grave while shedding a tear. I penned a poem lauding Gerry McNamara, the most famous Orange oompa loompa. The composition was forced by HoyaSuxa, a merciless and doomed soul who insisted I publicly pay my debts in full.
Now, as the third installment of the Georgetown - Syracuse saga is set take place at noon, it is time for vengeance. And as any wounded but proud warrior would do, I emailed the dude and said let's do it again, bro.

You asked for it, we provided it. A Casual Pregame before tomorrow's game at Stout Bar, 133 W 33rd St, btw. 6th and 7th. Start as early as you want to, bar opens at 10am, although most will arrive between 10:30 and 11. We wanted to keep you safe from the Cuse lepers so ask for the reserved area upstairs called The Carriage House. For friends of the blog only.
