At halftime of the NC-GT game, ESPN just showed a clip of our girls team getting into a fight with Louisville during the game. They didn't have any specific details, but does anyone know what is going on or how it happened?

[Healy]

They said it was during warmups prior to the game.

[prhoya]

Saw the clip. When someone said the girls were playing with the intensity of the early JT2 teams, he wasn't kidding.

[DanMcQ]

Hoyas win 60-56.

[blueandgray]

I heard the fight broke out about an hour before the game during warm ups. Good win for the Lady Hoyas!!

[strummer8526]

That was some INTENSE defense they played. This game was also the most women's basketball I've watched in my life. I think I could get behind this team.

First Lady Hoya's game I've been to (embarrassed to say how long ago I graduated). Took my children as part of the Kids Club promotion, a great event, lots of swag - pizza, sodas, gray towels that only the $2500 seats got at the men's game, posters, magnets, tshirts for the kids. Fight had finished before the gates opened, didn't know about it until now, didn't notice any obvious overflow from it into the game. This GU team plays TOUGH pressing/trapping defense, reminded me of Big John's squads (he was in attendance, sitting against the backcourt wall). All the men sat and watched before getting on the bus to 'nova (Henry got up on his feet for a egregious missed call); the teams have a good relationship with each other, looked like there are some particular individual relationships as well. As other posters noted, sloppy game at times and a lot of freethrows missed, but Magee made both in a huge pressure 1-1 at the end to put the game away, a great win. Players came out for autographs after the game, very polite, engaging and impressive, true Ladies, proud to be GU. We are Georgetown.

[DFW HOYA]

If a Georgetown player intentionally tripped an opponent as the Post alleges, she ought to be discliplined by the Big East. We wouldn't tolerate such behavior if this happened to a GU player on an away court and we should expect no less when it is at home.

[homjm]

i would have done the same thing. tell louisville to run on their side of the court.

[Hoya LNU]

Well let's see the tape before deciding what's what. Let's start with giving our players the benefit of the doubt. McDonough's not a big gym (see, none of this would have happened with a nice, new, big practice facility); I'd be surprised to find that both sides didn't bear some fault in what happened. If you don't want to get bumped - IF it happened - then stay on your own side of the court.

Come on. If the women (or men) had been playing at Rutgers, which is kind of small, and the Hoyas tried some stupid power play, you really think it would have been OK for Rutgers to trip somebody, before the game, where they could get injured? It's not a "bump", it's a "trip".

Really. Tripping players is NOT OK. No justification. No "both sides are at fault". If the video indicates a GU player intentionally tripping somebody, the Hoyas should do the right thing, not wait for the Big East.

[Hoya LNU]

My point is to wait until we or others see the tape before we go casting aspersions about what happened, and that we should default to defending the Hoyas, or at least maintain some semblance of neutrality, until that's done.

"The incident occurred during warmups. About an hour before the game, Louisville was running a lap around the court . . . ."

Running a lap around the court? How often do men's teams come streaking into Verizon and decide to take a lap? That's ludicrous. Unless there some kind of tradition in women's basketball that I'm not familiar with, the ol' "lap around the court" is nothing more than showboating bull. You wanna run a lap, head out to the parking lot.

I hope they have that intensity when they play uconn.
