Hoping that third time is charm. Been coming back East annually for 18 years to see at least one Hoya game and never failed to see a win. Not a good feeling about today's game because I do not know if they can stay focused and disciplined enough on defense while Butler runs its patient offense. Butler does not rebound well but then the Hoyas have been outrebounded by smaller teams all year.
Where do the points come from today from the outside? My son characterized the Hoya perimeter offense this year perfectly--it's Peak, Pryor and Prayer. I will be praying that the coach has this figured out so I can avoid a very long ride home tonight.

I can see us pulling off a w because I think lj and Pryor can get that hot. But unfortunately I expect s 10 pt loss.
Not in the area anymore - but I don't think the atmosphere inside vzn will be very good. Just think attendance will be down and those there likely feel similar to how most of us feel. Depressed, dejected etc.
Could be a bad day

Let's see what kind of intensity we can bring today.

Of course, two losses doesn't help build excitement. Not to mention the snow.

Let's see what kind of intensity we can bring today. It's down to 2.5 at last check. I find that incredibly surprising. I thought at least 5. But Creighton is only 4 point favorites against a pretty bad Providence team so maybe Vegas is overrating the value of less than good Big East teams playing at home today.

Not to make matters any worse.. but I'm fairly certain we're doing the pink uniforms and shoes tomorrow... Now, just use the attitude that came with those starting at tipoff.

Donny Marshall just punked Hoya fans...said more fans stormed the Butler court after defeating Villanova then will be at the game today...and he didn't mean the weather will be the reason!

There is no old school there. Show me a season where Georgetown even wore these. It's a lot of Nike marketing BS. You want old school? Pull these jerseys out of the McDonough training room closet:

Analysis on the Fox Tip-Off show was spot on imo.

We're going to win this. Mark it down. Double-digit win.

Govan is one of the worst defensive centers I have ever seen in my life. Horrid.
