We at Hoya Hoops can’t stand Duke, so forgive us for taking the week off in mourning.

That said, with basketball season officially over, it’s time for us to dole out those hard-earned Hoya Hoops T-Shirts.

First, we’ll deal with the Pregame Predictions winner.

Before the tournament even began, we asked how the Hoyas’ two NCAA veterans would fare against Ohio. Let’s Go Hoyas was right on the money with 37 points, so he earned himself two more points on the Pregame Predictions scoreboard.

But the reigning Pregame Predictions champion would not earn go back-to-back as Zo won the title.

Zo, please contact us at hoyahoops@hoyahoops.com so we can get your address and send out that T-shirt to you.

Here are the final results for everybody:

Better luck next year. Both to the Hoyas, and everyone except Zo.

Before the Big East Tournament Championship, we asked everybody how many points Austin Freeman would score. He put up 14 points, which means Julien from France was the closest, so he wins the 2 points for the postseason Pregame Predictions.

The Pregame Predictions competition is still in effect, and as of now, here’s the leaderboard:

Remember, postseason predictions count double, so keep that in mind as we continue. Now on to this week’s game.

Believe it or not, the Hoyas only have two players on the roster with any NCAA Tournament experience – Chris Wright and Austin Freeman. Everyone else who played in Raleigh in 2008 has graduated, transferred, or headed for the NBA. So here’s our question as the Hoyas set to face off against Ohio in the Opening Round of the tourney.

How many points will Austin Freeman and Chris Wright score against Ohio, and who will have more?

We’re going to say that Chris will lead the way with 18 and combined they’ll have 34. What do you think?

Before the Hoyas took on Marquette in the Big East Tournament semifinals, we asked everyone how many threes Georgetown would score. Everyone went over with their guesses because the Hoyas only connected on 6 of 12 from downtown, but Bob from Columbia was closest, so he get 2 steps closer to winning the Pregame Predictions title.

As the Big East prepares for its Championship matchup tonight, we look back to the last time these two teams met up, earlier this month. It was the only game all season in which leading scorer Austin Freeman did not play as he was back at Georgetown Hospital.

The Hoyas are a different team without Free, so here’s our question leading up to the big game:

How many points will Austin Freeman score?

We’ll say that Austin gets out of his little three-point slump and go for 22 points tonight. What do you think?

Before Georgetown’s upset win over top-seeded Syracuse, we asked you who would score more second half points. The Hoyas trailed by three at halftime, and would fall behind by as many as nine in the second before breaking out with a 19-2 run that would propel them to a seven point victory. Down three to up seven, that means Georgetown was +10 in the second half, which means Zo was the closest with his guess of +11. Nice work.

The Hoyas continue their quest for an eighth Big East Tournament Championship tonight against Marquette in the conference semifinals. The last time these two teams met, Marquette shot 26 three pointers and connected on 12, led by David Cubillan 6-6 performance. Three point shooting could make the difference this time as well.

How many three’s will the Hoyas make, and who will lead the team?

We think Austin Freeman will find his groove again – he is 0-6 so far in the tournament – and lead the Hoyas, who make nine three pointers. Give us your guesses in the comments.

This afternoon, Georgetown beat South Florida 69-49 in the second round of the Big East Tournament. Before the game, we asked you how many points USF junior guard Dominique Jones would score. We guessed 20, Emily guessed 22 and Jones went for 21. Since we don’t want a Hoya Hoops t-shirt, we’ll give Emily the two-points in the Pregame Predictions running.

Tomorrow, the Hoyas face Syracuse in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals. The last time the teams met, it was a tale of two halves as Syracuse went into the break with a thirteen point lead, and the Hoyas outscored the Orange by nine in the second half. Hopefully Georgetown won’t find themselves in as big of a hole tomorrow, but we anticipate that a big second half performance will be important regardless. So here’s our question:

Which team will score more in the second half and by how many points?

We’ll say the Hoyas will outscore the Orange by six points in the second half (and hopefully they’ll outscore them in the first too). What do you think?

At the beginning of the season, we announced that the winner of the most Pregame Predictions would win some sort of prize. Last year, we gave out a Hoya Hoops t-shirt, and odds are that’s what we’ll do again this year because we’re just that creative.

Like last season, we’re going to keep the Pregame Predictions going through the postseason, but now that it’s tournament time, each game is going to be worth double. But before we give you the leader board, we have to announce the winner from the last game of the regular season.

Before the senior-less senior day game against Cincinnati, we asked everyone how many points the sophomore would score. DBeck nailed that when with his guess of 30 points, which is exactly how many points Greg Monroe and Jason Clark raked in (Sims was scoreless). So congratulations DBeck on your 2nd win of the season.

As promised, here’s the rundown of how many Pregame Predictions everyone’s won this season.

And now on to tomorrow’s game. When the Hoyas last faced South Florida, Dominique Jones had 29 points for the Bulls, leading all scorers. If Georgetown wants to avoid having the same result, they’re going to need to figure out a way to contain the conference’s 2nd leading scorer.

How many points will Dominique Jones score?

Yep, that’s the same question we asked last time these teams met, but hopefully the correct answer will be closer to 0 than 40.

We’re going to say he scores 20 points, still a lot of points, but a little less than his average (21.3). What do you think?

Before the West Virginia game, we asked which Hoya would step up in Austin Freeman’s absence. Greg Monroe led the Hoyas with 22 points in a losing effort in Morgantown. Bobby in Tennessee was one point off with his guess of 21, so he wins. Hopefully the Hoyas will do the same this Saturday.

It’s Senior Day at Verizon Center this Saturday as the Hoyas close out the Big East season against Cincinnati. However, the Hoyas don’t have any seniors on the team. And with the recent development that junior Austin Freeman has developed diabetes and is questionable on Saturday, we will instead ask about the sophomores.

How many points will the sophomores score, and who will lead them?

With Austin questionable, we think Henry Sims will get extra minutes, and the two starting sophomores will step up their games. We’ll go with 40 points, led by Jason Clark.

Tell us how you think the sophomores will do on Senior Day.

Last Pregame Predictions, we asked how many three pointers the Hoyas would make against Notre Dame. Not enough, apparently, as the Hoyas lost 78-64 to the Fighting Irish. But, Georgetown managed to hit eight three’s, with Jason Clark hitting four, and Chris Wright and Hollis Thompson each making two. Both Zo and Julien said eight, but since neither of them guessed Clark, we are going to call it a tie. Good work, both of you.

Many people guessed that Austin Freeman would lead the team in threes. However, that was before we knew of Freeman’s stomach flu that limited his minutes on Saturday. Austin will not be with the team tonight either, as he did not travel with the Hoyas to West Virginia. It’s a big game for the Hoyas, and Georgetown is still in danger of having to play on Tuesday in the Big East Tournament. The team will need a strong showing tonight against the Mountaineers.

Who will lead the Hoyas in scoring, and with how many points?

Without Freeman, we think Chris Wright will step up, scoring 24 points. Let us know your guesses in the comments.

Before Georgetown snapped its two-game losing streak by beating Louisville 70-60, we at Hoya Hoops asked you to guess how many points the non-Big Three would score. As it turns out, they had a pretty good game, scoring 21 points. That means Julien from France was only one off, with his guess of 22 points. Félicitations!

The Hoyas now return home to take on Notre Dame on Saturday. Historically speaking, the Fighting Irish are a predominantly three-point shooting team, and this year is no exception, as they are first in the Big East in three-point percentage at 41.5%, and also have the most makes of any conference team. Georgetown is not too shabby from beyond the arc, either.

How many three pointers will the Hoyas make, and who will have the most?

We think Georgetown will start with its inside game, but that should open up the perimeter. We are saying 10 three’s, led by Austin Freeman. Put your predictions in the comments. Bonne chance!

Before the Hoyas faced off against Syracuse at Verizon Center last week, we asked everyone how many points the Big Three – Chris Wright, Austin Freeman, and Greg Monroe – would put up against the Orange.

Emily was right on the money with her guess of 61 points, but unfortunately the team needed just a few more to earn the victory.

Tonight, Georgetown travels to Freedom Hall to play a critical conference matchup against Louisville that will have huge implications for the Big East Tournament. Hopefully the Big Three will have a good game again, but this time let’s see how the rest of the team does:

Outside of the Big Three, how many points will the Hoyas score and who will have the most?

We’re going to say that they all score 15 points, led by Jason Clark’s 8. What do you think?
