Georgetown:
As they have done time and again season, the Hoyas pulled out another close victory. The win makes Georgetown back-to-back regular season Big East Champions for the first time in school history, and what better way to do it than on the defensive end. The nation’s leader in defensive field goal percentage held Louisville to 36.4% from the field in the first half, and a frigid 22% from beyond the arc in the game. And after Jeremiah Rivers added to the drama by missing the front end of a one-and-one, the Hoyas came up with one more big stop on defense, forcing Louisville to take and miss two contested three pointers.

Georgetown:
This game was just what the doctor ordered for Georgetown. After four closely contested games, the Hoyas had a relatively easy time with the Bearcats. It looked as though it might be another nail-biter, as Cincinnati cut the Georgetown’s lead to five a minute into the second half, but then the Hoyas pulled away thanks to a 16-4 run and coasted to a 20 point victory. With every game of maximal importance in the race for the Big East title, the Hoyas surely enjoyed the stress-free victory.

Georgetown:
The Hoyas showed good composure down the stretch in this one. They were trailing by six with under four minutes left and continued to run their sets. The result was an 11-2 run to close out the game. Lots of Hoyas made big shots when it mattered and did a good job getting stops and securing the rebounds on the defensive end.

Georgetown:
The Hoyas looked pretty bad in their first loss of the year. After a strong first 15 minutes, near the end of the first half the Hoyas let an eight point lead turn into a three point deficit. It was all downhill from there, as the offense got upset by the Memphis defense, and poor rebounding gave the Tigers too many easy points.
Georgetown lost its first game of the season, losing to the Memphis Tigers, 85-71. Douglas-Freeman had a game-high 24 points, as the Hoyas drop to 8-1 on the season.

Last time we focused on the freshmen, they had just played their first game and were not particularly impressive. What a difference a month makes. In the seventh game of the season, the freshmen duo of Austin Freeman and Chris Wright put on a show for the 8,000+ at the Verizon Center, leading the Hoyas to a 87-55 thrashing of Jacksonville.

GU:
The Hoyas took control of this game early and kept the pedal to the metal the whole time. The Boys in Gray unleashed an 87 point outburst, topping their season average by more than 20 points. The large lead allowed the starters to get some rest, as only one starter, DaJuan Summers, played more than 20 minutes.

GU:
I think the Hoyas were a little nervous at the start, perhaps because emotions were running high after last year’s game. But come the second half, Georgetown settled down and pulled away, using an 11-1 run to start the half and put the result beyond doubt. The young guys got a lot of minutes and did more than hold their own. With Freeman, Wright, and Macklin on the floor, it is a very different look than with Sapp, Wallace, and Hibbert. If the underclassmen can continue to get good minutes, the Hoyas will cause opposing defenses lots of problems. My only complaint with the team’s performance is the free throws. 65% is not going to cut it once Big East play rolls around, so the Hoyas need to right that ship, the sooner the better.
