PrintExacting revenge on Dominique Jones and his cronies, the Georgetown Hoyas beat South Florida 69-49 in the 2nd round of the Big East Tournament. The Hoyas got absolutely no help from the referees, who apparently were very interested in South Florida's tournament aspirations. Julian Vaughn played about 10 minutes and fouled out, Greg Monroe was saddled with 4 fouls, 3 of which were complete nonsense. Hollis Thompson and Chris Wright joined the party with 4 fouls as well.
Yet, all that said, and Georgetown won. And they won pretty easily. Chris Wright had 15 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds, and 0 turnovers, in his best performance of the year. We've been hard on Wright, but when someone needed to step up, it was Wright. Monroe, even with his foul trouble, scored 16 points, and put the game out of hand in the last 4 minutes with back-to-back three point plays. Jason Clark added 16 points, including some monster 3 pointers. Austin Freeman played smartly, with 8 points and 4 assists, yet had his worst shooting performance of the year, going 3-12 from the field.
Any time you can beat the 9th best team in the conference by 20 points, getting about 25 combined minutes from your big men and a 3-12 shooting day from your best player, you are impressed. Georgetown's defense, except for the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half, was phenomenal. More than anything, our defense will be the key to sustained runs in the Big East Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. Keep it up fellas.
Good news is Monroe and Vaughn will be plenty rested as the Hoyas square off with Syracuse for the THIRD time this season. I'd write more but my hands are shaking and my vision is blurry. Man, isn't tournament time the best?
Plenty more to follow today and tomorrow. Enjoy the NIT Dominique, I'm sure people from far and wide will want to come watch you play. Syracuse, we're coming for you.

And we got 'em
Now we gotta tear their heart out and deposit the body in a dumpster. Lots of dumpsters around MSG.

Austin Freeman.... So Good...
He scores 16, even when he doesn’t score 16

I like the
way we responded to the foul trouble. Simms played very well on the defensive side of, and I (feel) the fresh fish are growing up.
WE ARE GEORGETOWN NOW AND FOREVER
Counting our chickens b4 they hatch
this site (on the left) has Gtown with 22 wins and a 3 game winning streak.

3rd times the charm
keep up the mo up against cuse.
But the bunk in me notes we are playing back to back, in NY, against a motivated and rested cuse team coming off their worst loss, which also happens to be a team that we match up very poorly against.
Thus Freeman to the rescue and cuse imperils its #1 tourney seed
bah
Syracuse’s biggest strength is their redunkulous defense. Everytime we play them we get better at figuring it out. I think this third game is going to be close and hard fought.

I just read on the Cuse Blog that
apparently the whole Syracuse team has been eating giant Chipoltle buritos. Hopefully they come out sluggish tomorrow

we need julian
to go to the Penn Plaza Chipotle and imbue their vat of beans with whatever ailed him today.
I want to see Rautins yakking Exorcist-style from their bench.
KBE
Did i see correctly....
did Vaugn walk over to the bench just before the game started and puke in a bucket?

Apparently so
Amazing the amount of stomach flus on this team. PROBABLY FROM THE MCDONALDS THEY ATE YESTERDAY
It's not you, it's me.
Sorry that I didn't give you the location for your free beer this morning
but I should be at the game tomorrow ….
Take the scoring threshold for which Austin Freeman was honored for just before the Cincy game + number of Hoya bench points over the final 5 games of the season – number of Hoya turnovers over the last 5 games of the season + the some of the digits of the year Lauinger Library was opened – Esherick’s uniform number during his senior year – the number of 3 point shots attempted by Dominique Jones during today’s game – the number of points scored by Benimon today

Also, Apparently some classy cuse fan just put together a youtube video
mocking Austin Freeman’s diabetes (which I’m not linking too).
Classy.

Wow...
Just watched it. It’d be one thing to post a comment. That’d be bad enough. But this guy apparently took an hour or so to make it, at any point of which, he should have stopped and thought, “Wow, I think this is funny? I’m laughing at someone’s diagnosis?”
I hope Austin lights your team the fuck up tomorrow.
Why so Syracuse?
Cuse fans are "Classy"
Now do you see why I hate those in-bred motherfuckers?

Unbelievable
For me personally, as a person whose good friend lost their healthy, 45-year-old father to heart disease caused by Type I Diabetes, I simply cannot see how this is funny in any way. It is a tragic disease that really can be life-threatening, even if you take care of it properly. I don’t mean to be the voice of doom and gloom, but 1 out of 4 people who are diagnosed die as a result of complications from their Diabetes, and as far as I’m concerned that video is almost equal to a video making fun of someone for having cancer.
Absolutely disgusting.

Agreed
I think with the exception of Louisville, we’re the team Cuse doesn’t want to see right now.
Why so Syracuse?
Also
We should be winning the polls again. I haven’t been attending the voting process personally, but it was going well when last I checked. Can someone confirm?

its 50.5% to 49.5%
we’re slipping

They must also be gaming the system.....

We were losing for a while
Because I’d stopped “voting”, bit we just passed them again, it sounds like, so if they are gaming it, we are gaming it better.
