Savannah State In-Game Thread

By Johnny

Hey everyone, after a 10 hour drive and a night at the Hilton Garden Inn, I’m finally here courtside at Tiger Arena, sitting next to Rich and Evan Chvotkin.

The team is just walking in with their suitcases, headed towards the locker room, so I think I’ll take this time to get settled myself. I’ll be checking in from now until the final buzzer, so keep it here at the HoyaHoops In-Game Thread.

  1. Johnny Says:

    The Hoyas have come out for their first round of pregame warmups. Freshman Jerrelle Benimon will not be playing today as he is still in a suit with a boot on his left ankle.


  2. Johnny Says:

    We’re about half an hour from opening tip, and both teams are in the locker room. Tiger Arena is slowly filling up, but tickets for this game are twice as much as they are for the rest of the season, and that may be affecting the turnout.

    Behind me there are a bunch of rows of seats reserved for Hoya fans thanks to Steve Alleva, and those are filling up nicely.


  3. Johnny Says:

    Some SSU students just ran around the court with their bodies painted and assorted head gear.

    That was definitely odd, and now the Hoyas have taken the floor.


  4. Johnny Says:

    The refs today are John Cahill, John Gaffney, and Clarence Armstrong


  5. Johnny Says:

    Those painted students I was talking about?

    SSU Students


  6. Johnny Says:

    They just sang the National Anthem – oddly enough, the Hoyas were lined up on one side of the court, and on the other? Savannah State cheerleaders. The Tigers are nowhere to be seen.


  7. DJ Says:

    lets go hoyas. this should be an easy one, relax, make some shots early, then lets work on running the offense. and dont be afraid to shoot if youre open!!!


  8. Johnny Says:

    It’s time for the starting lineups:

    Same lineup for the Hoyas – Chris Wright, Austin Freeman, Jason Clark, Julian Vaughn, and Greg Monroe.

    And for the Tigers, it will be Patrick Hardy, Tracy Rankins, Rashad Hassan, Arnold Louis, and Darius Baugh.


  9. Zo Says:

    How is the facility? Nicer than McDonough? Sounded a little bigger-Chvots said 6,000.


  10. DJ Says:

    alright, here we go


  11. Johnny Says:

    Savannah State wins the tip and Rashad Hassan earns himself a trip to the line, foul on Greg


  12. Johnny Says:

    On the Hoyas’ first possession, Clark gets his shot blocked, and Vaughn rims out after a nice post move.


  13. Johnny Says:

    Greg misses a tough jumper after driving the lane, and there’s a foul on Clark on the rebound. SSU 2-0.


  14. Johnny Says:

    Foul on Austin, 3rd team. He was clean up top with the block, but they called him for the body contact.


  15. DJ Says:

    three fouls already? come on hoyas…


  16. DJ Says:

    this is very bad


  17. Johnny Says:

    A basket for Smith, and then a breakaway layup for Hardy after Wright threw it away makes it 7-0 Tigers.

    Hoyas take a 30 second timeout.


  18. Zo Says:

    0-7 a TD on their opening drive…bad bad bad.


  19. Johnny Says:

    Clark starts the scoring for the Hoyas with an open 3.


  20. Johnny Says:

    And some quick points for the Hoyas, ties it up at 7.


  21. DJ Says:

    thats better


  22. Johnny Says:

    Foul #2 on Greg Monroe. 14:17 left in the first, and we’re at the 16:00 timeout.


  23. Johnny Says:

    A jumper by Hollis Thompson gives the Hoyas their first lead 9-8


  24. big A Says:

    anybody got live feed info


  25. Zo Says:

    who made the last FT for Savannah State?


  26. Johnny Says:

    Another three for Clark and it’s 12-8


  27. Zo Says:

    14-1 run for the Hoyas after the Freeman hoop…prior to the 3


  28. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas lead 14-11 at the 11:00 timeout.


  29. Zo Says:

    Do you mean the TWELVE minute timeout?


  30. big A Says:

    Johnny, what’s the crowd like?


  31. Johnny Says:

    Yes I mean 12:00 timeout. 11:05 left though. Crowd for Savannah State can get loud even though the 6000 capacity arena isn’t near full.


  32. Johnny Says:

    Nice spin move by Wright gets him a layup. And it’s 16-11 Hoyas. Tigers timeout.


  33. Zo Says:

    Technically the hoop by Wright was a “Lefty Leaner”


  34. Johnny Says:

    Those students I posted a picture of above are on the baseline right near the Hoyas’ bench, and they’re actually fairly energetic and loud for being about 30 kids.


  35. Zo Says:

    We beat this team 100-38 last year…ouch.


  36. Johnny Says:

    Long rebound after a SSU miss bounces out to a Tiger, but Hollis Thompson grabs on for a jump – Hoyas ball.


  37. Johnny Says:

    Three for Wright makes it 16-11, and Clark is set to check back in.


  38. Johnny Says:

    Another missed three for the Tigers bounces over Sims’ head, and Coach doesn’t like it. Nikita to check in.


  39. Johnny Says:

    Wright forced his way to the hoop that time after an errant outlet pass sent him a little too far from the basket on the baseline. He’s scored the Hoyas’ last seven.


  40. Zo Says:

    7-0 run by Wright by himself?


  41. Johnny Says:

    Clark missed a three, and Hollis grabs the board and tries to put it back in before landing. He was fouled, so he’s shooting two.


  42. Zo Says:

    Not a shooting foul for Wright a minute ago?


  43. Johnny Says:

    Thompson missed them both.


  44. Johnny Says:

    @Zo

    Wright shot it, but it was after the whistle, I think a good call to keep it on the floor.


  45. Johnny Says:

    8:00 timeout. Tigers ball when we get back. Hoyas lead 21-14 with 7:05 to play in the first.


  46. Zo Says:

    I predicted 8 players in double figures…8 more to go! Come on Hoyas, share the wealth.


  47. Johnny Says:

    On the court for the Hoyas: Clark, Freeman, Hollis, Nikita, and Greg.


  48. Johnny Says:

    Tigers now have 16 points. They only had 15 in the first half last year.


  49. Johnny Says:

    (I told that to Rich if you’re listening)


  50. Johnny Says:

    Another three for Clark. Hoyas up by 10 – 26-16


  51. Zo Says:

    9 for Clark…3 3’s nice


  52. Zo Says:

    Rich said the 15 point thing… HH rocks!


  53. Johnny Says:

    Monroe misses 2 from the line. Hoyas 0-4.


  54. Johnny Says:

    Another three for Clark, and he has 12 points.


  55. Auntie M Says:

    that’s my pick!


  56. Johnny Says:

    Official Timeout: 29-16 Hoyas with 3:18 to go.


  57. Johnny Says:

    Clark has 12 points off of four three-pointers – a career high – and it’s just the first half.


  58. Johnny Says:

    Freeman gets in on the action with a three. 32-18 Hoyas.


  59. Johnny Says:

    Two seconds on the shotclock, with Tigers inbounding under the basket.


  60. Johnny Says:

    Wright scores as he bumps into the defense. No call, but Chris has to pick himself up from the lane.


  61. Johnny Says:

    That’s it for the first half. Hoyas winning 34-20. Clark’s shooting the lights out, and Chris is trying to take the game over too. A guard’s game for the Hoyas, and the Tigers are just trying to stay alive.


  62. Johnny Says:

    At the half, here are some numbers for you:
    Georgetown is 14-24 for 58.3% from the field. They’re 6-10 from 3-point land.

    Clark’s leading all scorers with 12, Wright has 9, and Greg has 5.
    For Savannah State, Darius Baugh has 10.

    The Hoyas have committed 6 turnovers, good for 9 SSU points off TOs.


  63. Johnny Says:

    Last 2 games at the half:

    vs. Temple – GU 19% FG, 10% 3PT
    @ Savannah State – GU 58% FG, 60% 3PT


  64. Johnny Says:

    Three for Freeman starts second half scoring. He has 8


  65. Johnny Says:

    Hardy misses a WIDE OPEN three from the corner. Hoyas were asleep on that inbound.


  66. Johnny Says:

    2nd shotclock violation against the Hoyas. Julian didn’t have a clue.


  67. Zo Says:

    Run your offense…take 37 or 40 seconds if you need it. Run your offense.


  68. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas winning 37-24 at the 16:00 timeout.


  69. Johnny Says:

    Clark scores in the paint and has a career-high 14 points.


  70. Johnny Says:

    At the 12:00 timeout, Tiger Arena is doing the wave. They booed at the Georgetown section when they didn’t participate.


  71. Johnny Says:

    Vee Sanford is set to check in for the first time sine Tulane.


  72. Johnny Says:

    Three-point play for Greg, and he has 9.


  73. big A Says:

    Chvotz just said that a layup was “temporarily blocked” by Nikita. What’s up with that?


  74. Zo Says:

    All blocks are temporary…otherwise the game would end on the first rejection


  75. Johnny Says:

    Greg’s got the last 7 points for the Hoyas – 11 points for him.

    And Nikita misses an easy layup


  76. Zo Says:

    What can you tell me about Vee Sanford?
    Anyone.


  77. Johnny Says:

    Coach Broadnax takes a timeout, his side trailing to the Hoyas 50-29.


  78. Johnny Says:

    If you’re following this game’s Pregame Predictions, Greg, Austin, Jason, and Chris are already in double figures with 9:11 to play. No one else is very close.


  79. Johnny Says:

    Official timeout with 6:43 to play. Georgetown’s up 52-35.


  80. Johnny Says:

    Vee drives into the lane and hits a floater to earn his first points as a Hoya.


  81. Johnny Says:

    #55 commits a foul with 5:55 left in the game, but Vaughn couldn’t hit one of the two free throws to give the Hoyas 55 points


  82. Johnny Says:

    Foul on Arnold Louis might be the worst call of the game. Freeman drove and went up for a layup. He missed, and after he landed, they called a block on Louis. 2 shots Freeman.


  83. Johnny Says:

    Big dunk for Sims on the baseline


  84. big A Says:

    Vaughn does not subscribe to the science of numerology


  85. Zo Says:

    Finally 8 players have scored…how they’ve got 3:40 or so for Vaughn, Simms, Sanford, and Thompson to get into double figures. Shoot it!


  86. Zo Says:

    Monroe, “Up with the Hooker”


  87. big A Says:

    Monroe up with a hooker in the lane


  88. big A Says:

    Hey Zo, we’ve been listening to the Chvotz for too many years.


  89. Johnny Says:

    Arnold Louis fouls out for the Tigers, and Nikita will be going to the line with 1:39 remaining, Hoyas up 60-41


  90. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas are abysmal from the line tonight.


  91. Johnny Says:

    Lankiest lineup ever – Nikita, Henry, Hollis, Vee, and Jason


  92. Johnny Says:

    Sims with a nice Hibbert-esque sky hook. He used the glass though, not sure if Roy did that too often.


  93. Johnny Says:

    With 8 seconds to play, Clark misses a three (after 4-5 in the first, 0 threes in the second)


  94. Johnny Says:

    And that’ll do it. Hoyas win 63-44


  95. Zo Says:

    Nice one Chvots…”The Hoyas have held the Tigers to 24 points in the second half, after they scored 20 in the first half.”


  96. Johnny Says:

    That’s all from me for now. Hoyas play next one week from today at Verizon Center against Lafayette.
