Chris vs. Duke
By Hoya HoopsLast week, we asked everybody who was going to step up big over the weekend and average the most points against Rutgers and Syracuse.
Hoyasincebirth was right on the money with his guess of Austin Freeman with 18 points. Austin averaged 18.5 over the two games, and like hoyasincebirth suggested, most of those points came against Cuse. Unfortunately, Austin’s points were not nearly enough to win that one.
So, congratulations to hoyasincebirth, but let’s try to forget about that last one as quickly as possible.
On Saturday, the Duke Blue Devils return to the Verizon Center to face the Hoyas four years and nine days after the upset that put Georgetown back in the national spotlight.
Last year, the loss at Duke was pinpointed by many as the turnaround point of the year, the game that started triggered the Hoyas’ most disappointing season in recent history.
Will this year’s game have as much significance? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean that the Hoyas are going to take it easy in their first game on network television.
Since he’s used by many as an indicator of the Hoyas’ success this year, we’re going to be talking about Chris Wright.
How many points will Chris Wright score against Duke?
We’re going to say that Chris will score 21 points on Saturday, leading the Hoyas to victory.
What do you think? Remember, the Hoyas have won every game when Chris reached double-digits, and are 1-4 when he hasn’t.

18 pts. If my flight is able to leave in the morning (we’re expecting ice and snow), I will be sitting in the second row with Bob from Columbia at the Verizon Center to watch the game. Hopefully Gtown will have some Blue Devils for lunch. Go Hoyas! Been looking forward to this game for a while and have had the tickets…hopefully I can be there.

No worries Zo. Just landed at BWI. Game on! Word is that the President will also be at the game. So anyone else going may need to get there early because of xtra security.
