In our last Pregame Predictions, we wanted to know how many Hoyas would reach double figures against Savannah State. Although this year’s win was not as high-scoring as the last match-up between these two sides, four Hoyas still managed to break the 10 point barrier, led by Jason Clark’s career-high 14 points. Both Bob in Columbia and Bobby in Tennessee guessed that four Hoyas would accomplish that feat, and since neither picked Clark as the leading scorer, they tie. So, a little love for the Bob’s.
Georgetown now plays two games in quick succession, taking on Lafayette Saturday, followed by Mount St. Mary’s on Monday. This week’s Pregame Predictions will tackle both those games with one question.
How many combined points will the Hoyas score?
We are predicting Georgetown will get 145 points in those two games to go along with two more wins.
What do you think? Post your guesses, and maybe you can celebrate with the Bobby’s next time.
Yesterday, Georgetown announced the radio broadcast schedule for the rest of the season. Basically, every game will be on ESPN 980, except for this upcoming game against Lafayette, and the DePaul game in January which will both be aired on AM 570.

Even though there weren’t very many members of the media at Tiger Arena on Saturday, there still was a postgame press conference, and I was there to pick up the audio. Here is what Coach Thompson, Greg Monroe, and Jason Clark* had to say about the win at Savannah State.
* Actually Clark was cut off by Coach, and never answered any questions.
Georgetown: Trailing 7-0 less than four minutes into the game, Coach Thompson called a timeout. Two minutes later, and the Hoyas had taken the lead 9-8, and they never looked back.
With the result no longer in question, JTIII used this game as an opportunity to try out different players and allow them to play in a competitive atmosphere without bringing back the starting five to help them out when they struggled.
The Georgetown Hoyas overpowered the Savannah State Tigers with 4 players in double figures on their way to a 63-45 victory. The Hoyas trailed 7-0 to start the game but then went on a 14-1 run to remove all of the drama from the result. Georgetown entered the break with a 14 point lead, and the Tigers were unable to cut into the lead in the second half.
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.
Before the Temple game, we asked everyone how well the Hoyas would shoot from the stripe. The answer? Better, but not by much. The Hoyas shot 13-19 from the line, good for 68.4%. That means that Bob from Columbia wins with his guess of 70%. If this were The Price Is Right, we’d all be losers, but it’s not so only most of us are losers.
After the nerve-wrenching finish to the game against Temple on Tuesday, here’s the audio from what Coach Thompson, Chris Wright, and Greg Monroe had to say in the press conference.
