Wash Post - Camille Powell: Georgetown Rolls To 8th Straight Win


Wash Times - Barker Davis: Georgetown, Hibbert put on 'clinic'

"Look, we're playing very well right now, and I'm not questioning or downplaying how good we are," Thompson said. "I'm just sitting up here already nervous as [heck] about Villanova. ... It's just not time to sit back and say, 'Whew, life is good.' Because life might be awful in a couple of days if you don't take care of business."

44% FT for PEJr?!

[bubbrubbhoya]

The 2nd half vs. WVU. Cue the Jaws soundtrack...then pull out a bazooka and blow the shark out of the water.

[Highsmith]

Love how these announcers are still saying Roy had 22 rebounds against Louisville.....don't they do any prep besides look at AP reports???

On a game related note- great to see some quality time for Vernon in the 1st half- some nice passes and very active.

Let's just stay solid in the second and put this one away!

[sweetness]

Alexander is a punk -- and Beilein don't touch one of our players.

[miracles87]

Junior providing the one thing missing, so far, from our recent play. A nice streak of old school nasty.

[prhoya]

PLAY TC!!!!!!!!!!!! Give him a chance.

[miracles87]

Was that Vern finding Junior on the back door??? Be still my heart...

[prhoya]

(Oops! Air for TC)

[Highsmith]

Is Tay's last name really pronounced "Spon"?? VERNON ON THE JAM!!!! Sorry, that was nice.....

[Elvado]

This was an ass-whipping of epic proportions. Don't let the final fool you.

I'm happy to say I called it on Jody Mac's radio show in Philly this afternoon and begged him to lay the 9 1/2. He told me the Hoiyas would have a let down. We did, we let down from 30 to 18.

[hoyalove4ever]

Amazing win.

[manilahoyafan]

Green stunk.

He had 6 of our 18 misses, da bum. :-)

[casualhoya]

We are rolling through the Big East.

Crushing teams.

Casually.

Georgetown is playing FANTASTIC basketball right now. It seems like they play better and better every game. Hopefully they keep this up because if they do, they will have one of the top spots in the NCAA tourney.

Roy Hibbert had another great night. 20 points for the big man, and 6 boards.

Go Hoyas!

[bostonhoya05]

I've been a fan of this team for 6 years (since Freshman year) and this is the best we've looked.

[GIGAFAN99]

I was scared they were going to "backdoor us to death."

No, no I wasn't.

Great job by the Hoyas on the apparently "basketball purist" shots (I do remember the old Celtics of the 50s jacking three-pointers) that run WVU's offense. And they even hit a few at the end so as not to bias our rumored weakness on 3-pt defense. Quite nice of them.

I hate WVU. Ewing is my hero for showing what we already know; with Gansey gone, Beilein is the toughest guy on that team.

Oh yeah, and sprinkled in between my outburts against the Mountaineers I also got to enjoy the fact that the Hoyas have now beaten 2 straight top 25 teams by 18.

Big statement, now get some rest and get Roy 20 shots against 'Nova to make up for last time.

[Nevada Hoya]

Does that make us tied for the BE lead?

[GUJook97]

Dear JT III:

I am disappointed that we keep building our leads up to 20 and 30 with too much time left in the game. Can you figure out a way to peak at about 1-2 minute mark? I am sick and tired of winning by only 15-20 points.

That is all.

[daytonahoya31]

great win. Great not to have a letdown.

I know Jeremiah can't shoot, but I'm so impressed with him. He's a great big guard. He plays great defense, he runs the offense well, and he rebounds very well for a guard.

When you have two guards that rebound as well as Jeremiah and Jessie, it becomes almost impossible for opponents to beat us on the boards.
