Wash Times - Barker Davis (3/15): Hoyas are equipped with upset buffers
"What makes Jeff Green so special is that he is someone that has the ability to dominate a game in so many ways," Thompson said. "His role varies from game to game, but his primary role is to figure out how to help us win. And the beauty of Jeff Green is that's all the kid cares about."
"We take shots that aren't there. Georgetown will pass up open looks to get the shot they want," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said when asked to describe Georgetown's strength. "That takes incredible discipline. John [Thompson] III has done an amazing job convincing his kids what a good shot is and getting them to pass on anything else. They are one of only two or three teams in the nation who will do that."
"They almost always get good shots. They are very precise," Byrd said. "We felt like we'd be a 15-seed, and they were the 2-seed that we'd prefer not to play. They just don't beat themselves. ... Sometimes when I'm watching their film, I wonder why we're even bothering to practice."

"People are going to make their runs," Hibbert said. "We take their hardest punch, and we give them ours. Coach always says, we don't have to hit them with the big punch to knock them out; we just do it methodically, just one at a time. Then we'll eventually break them down. It's just one possession at a time."
