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.

Hey everybody, Johnny here at the Verizon Center. We’re a little less than half an hour away from the opening tip in this critical Big East match for the Hoyas as they take on the Bearcats of Cincinnati.
After splitting two games this weekend, the Hoyas are tied in the loss column of the Big East standings with Louisville, Connecticut, and Notre Dame. Every game is important as we come down the stretch of the conference season, so we’ll have to see what the Boys in Gray have to offer us this afternoon.
I’ll be back with the starting lineups and officials in a few. In the meantime, keep your thoughts coming in the comments.

For the last Pregame Predictions, we asked what the Hoyas’ record would be over President’s Day Weekend, and how many points the team would score. The Hoys split, falling to Syracuse, but bouncing back to defeat Providence, scoring 138 points in the two games. Sam was the closest, so congratulations.
Yesterday, Tony talked about the role the bench played in the win over Providence. We think they will play another key role in this Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bearcats.
How many points will the bench score, and who will lead the scoring?
We say the bench will have 18 points, with Patrick Ewing getting eight of those. What are your guesses? Leave a comment.
