Stepping Up

By Hoya Hoops

Julian Vaughn was plagued with foul trouble in Georgetown’s loss to Villanova, so before the Pitt game, we asked how he would bounce back. In Georgetown’s 74-66 “upset” win over the Panthers, Juju had 11 points, six assists, and five boards. He also had a critical three-point play, where he rotated nicely off the double team on Greg Monroe, then took Greg’s pass and sent the ball in with authority, and even talked a little smack to Gary McGhee after drawing the foul. A good all-around game for “The Doctor.” And a good guess from Let’s Go Hoyas, who was only a point off with his prediction of 12 points and five rebounds. Nice work.

The Hoyas now face two games in three days, first playing Rutgers at home this Saturday, then traveling north to Syracuse to take on the Orange at the Carrier Dome on “Big Monday.” The Hoyas have done a great job of individually stepping up when needed, and with another trap game tomorrow and one of the best rivalries in college basketball on Monday, Georgetown will definitely need a player or two to take their game to the next level.

Who will average the most points over the two-game span, and how many will he average?

We think that Austin Freeman will light it up against the Scarlet Knights and the Orange, averaging 21 points over that stretch. Let us know who you think will carry the team in the comments.

    I was also going to go with Austin.
    I’ll go with averaging 18pts since I don’t think he’ll be needed much against Rutgers.

    I am going with a huge game from Julian 21 points. Greg, Austin, Jason, and Chris will see much of the game from the bench as III gets Hollis, JB, and hopefully Big H some pt.

    Too late for a two game prediction since I missed the Rutgers deadline. This doesn’t count, but I would have gone with Greg Monroe at a 20 pt. average.
