“He basically said, ‘Why not? Go ahead and do it,’ " Broadnax said of Thompson III, the Hoyas’ coach since 2004. "Pretty much, I think he did it not out of respect, but out of knowing me and me playing for his father. I know he probably didn’t want to do it, but, hopefully, it will be a good challenge for his team.

“Coaches of ranked teams say they don’t really get (Ratings Percentage Index) points for playing unranked teams, but I say, ‘Hey, if you go on the road, a road win is better than a home win.’ "

SSU to take on No. 19 Georgetown

The school has a rare opportunity Saturday to showcase what has quietly become a quality basketball program. No. 18 Georgetown is in town to play the Tigers, and the Hoyas are the rare draw on SSU’s schedule.

To see the game, though, Savannahians will have to part with at least $15 and as much as $50 a head. What should be viewed by SSU as an opportunity to impress potential return customers is a one-time money grab instead.

Armchair QB: SSU whiffs on hoops ticket prices

Is there a third category on ESPN after “good win” and “bad loss” that we may need to be aware of tomorrow for our RPI? CRIPPLING SEASON-ENDING PROGRAM-DESTROYING NIT-INVITATION-LOSING LOSS OF THE APOCALYPSE; or something like that? At least it’s on the road.

maybe we just need to lose to a crappy team to get motivated. SSU fits the bill.

after i posted my “way to early preview of the big east” 6 months ago – cuse delinquents came on singing the praises of wes johnson.

yeah… they were right – the guy is good. he is like a good player in dajuan summers’ body

LeMoyne must be awesome.

Thompson is likely to eat many of the minutes Mescheriakov earned on the wing last season, particularly if the 6-8 Belorussian continues to struggle with his jumper.

Hoyas putting more weight on bench

If you can’t get excited about watching Georgetown then you don’t have a pulse.

Georgetown Hoyas at AASU

listening on the radio is awesome

Season imploding before my ears.

this is horrible

down 7-0 to savannah state

keys to a successful bball team

Where is Greg Monroe? Did he miss the flight?

we scored 5 straight

i was worried about getting shutout

from gchat moments ago:
“Casualhoya: I hope we lose”

Something needs to light a fire under these bozos.

I should have gone to LeMoyne.

Florida State interception. Horrible sports on TV and the Radio.

What’s with the Jackson Pollock red streak across the Tigers face?

for time all season

Yawn.

From Deep. WE NEED NIKITA’S DEFENSE!

hip hip hooray

what Clark is doing

showing off the 4 inch vertical

showing off lack of shooting ablity

Game doesn’t even merit real time stats on espn. I guess I will just make some up. Clark is 4-4, 3-3 from three with 11 points. Greg Monroe had 7 fouls in 8 minutes. Freeman and Wright are collectively 23-32 with 46 points. Nikita has seven turnovers and three technicals. I think Vaughn has like 15 rebounds.

May go get a Zipcar and do some aggressive driving later today.

Chvotkin just read the real stats and I missed them.

56-42

But I will not say which team has 60.

w00t

I wonder what’s on WTOP?

NIKITA BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMOTHERING D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad I did not switch over to WTOP for the traffic and weather together.

Hoya Basketbal: it’s FANTASTIC

clark – good

anyone else?

who is coaching this team – calipari?

Really need some in-game stats.

Vaugh has only 4 points but a solid 8 boards. Clark a clear standout. And we’re 63 pct from three.

“Nikita to the rack. No! Whistle.”
Charge!

neXt

Really should have gone to LeMoyne
