Georgetown routs rival Syracuse, captures share of Big East title - USA Today "It's a delicate balancing act, winning a regular-season championship. You're cutting down nets and celebrating when your student section storms the court – but your most important basketball remains ahead of you. So you allow yourself to get high, but not too high.
"Let me say this, so not to cloud anything: This season is not over," Thompson said. "We hope to go to New York and play well and also play well in the NCAA tournament.""www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2013/03/09/georgetown-routs-rival-syracuse-captures-big-east-title-in-final-year/1975481/

Hoyas end series with Syracuse in style; earn share of Big East title - Jeff Goodman, CBSSports.com "This was the final Big East regular-season matchup between Georgetown and Syracuse. The rivalry has been incredible over the last few decades. Great players from Patrick Ewing to Alonzo Mourning to Pearl Washington, Derrick Coleman and so many more. Terrific games that have dated back to when the Big East first began in 1979. Saturday's contest was anything but exciting, a Hoyas 61-39 rout against that capped a season sweep for Georgetown and also capped a tremendous season that could give JT3 & Co. a No. 1 seed."www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/21841223/jt3-hoyas-end-series-with-syracuse-in-style-earn-a-share-of-big-east-title

Syracuse-vs.-Georgetown ends not with a clashing of cymbals, but with a splat - Bud Poliquin, syracuse.com "Imagine the sound of a massive egg rolling off a kitchen counter top and falling to the floor and you’ve got Saturday’s 61-39 disaster down here in our blue-skied nation’s capital.
That was the score, almost unbelievably, of Georgetown’s destruction of the Orange."www.syracuse.com/poliquin/index.ssf/2013/03/poliquin_syracuse-vs-georgetow.html#incart_river

Georgetown 'kisses Syracuse good-bye' with 61-39 win over the Orange - Mike Walters, syracuse.com "The last time Syracuse scored less than 39 points was in a 36-35 win over Kent State on Dec. 1, 1962. Boeheim and Dave Bing were on the freshmen team that year.
The last time Syracuse scored fewer points in a loss was in a 43-36 loss to Duquesne on Dec. 11, 1950.
“The Georgetown defense was way better than our offense,’’ Boeheim said."www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2013/03/georgetown_kisses_syracuse_goo.html

Craig Stouffer: Georgetown closes out rivalry with Syracuse with a blowoutQUOTE:"It's really special on many different levels," Thompson III said, picking up his third regular-season title at Georgetown. "I've been a head coach 13 years, and this is my sixth regular-season championship. Right now this one feels nicer than any of the rest of them."
Fittingly, Thompson III was interrupted by his father as he spoke, a reminder that the latest title gave the two a combined 10, the same as Syracuse.
"Kiss Syracuse goodbye," Thompson Jr. said.

Syracuse basketball vs Georgetown: Recap - Brent Axe, syracuse.com "Cohesion.
Simply put, Georgetown has it, Syracuse does not.
The Hoyas are a confident team that is in sync with each other and knows exactly what it wants to do.
Only one Syracuse player, Michael Carter-Williams (17 points), was in double figures vs Georgetown. Georgetown had four players in double figures and got contributions up and down the roster, a far cry form the first game where Otto Porter's 33 points were the story."www.syracuse.com/axeman/index.ssf/2013/03/syracuse_basketball_vs_georget_10.html

I did not see this complete version of the post game press conference posted. Who was it that JTIII said was the best dunker he had ever seen?

The articles thread is as appropriate a place as any for this link, but I love looking over our current and former Hoyas' tweets after games like this. Some terrific photos and good-natured ribbing of the Cuse by our guys past and present. Special thanks to whoever compiles and maintains this list! twitter.com/BiggityBish/hoyas |

(He probably doesn't read Hoyatalk that much...  ) |

Love how PEJ refers to MCW as the "Syracuse PG" and not by name.
