Georgetown:
It was quite a scenario heading into the final road game of the year for the Hoyas. A victory would put the Hoyas one home victory away from back to back Big East regular season titles, but a loss would drop them into a 3-way tie for second place. Georgetown trailed by double figures midway through the half when they finally regained focus and got in a good rhythm on both ends of the court.

Hey all, this is Johnny checking in. We’re half an hour away from tipoff and the Hoyas face a big challenge against one of the toughest teams in the Big East in Marquette. With postseason implications on the line, both teams will be giving their all, and it has the potential of being a classic game.
I’ll check in later with starting lineups and in-game commentary. And you can provide your own commentary below.

For our last Pregame Predictions, we asked you to predict the number of first half baskets the Red Storm would score. St. John’s managed nine field goals, which means that HoyaSinceBirth was exactly correct on his first time playing. Congratulations!
The Hoyas take on Marquette on Saturday. The Golden Eagles have two of the top ten conference leaders in steals in Jerel McNeal and Dominic James. We are curious if that will inspire the Hoyas.
How many steals will Georgetown have, and who will lead the team?
We will say that the team gets nine steals, led by none other than Roy Hibbert. He did get his fair share of steals against St. John’s, after all. How many do you think the Hoyas will get? Let us know in the comments.
