Hey everyone, Johnny here at Verizon Center about 45 minutes before the Georgetown Hoyas tipoff against the Seton Hall Pirates.

Both sides are coming off Saturday wins as Seton Hall earned their first conference win against Cincinnati, and the Hoyas came back from down 19 to beat Connecticut. In those games, each side had a player with 33 points – Austin Freeman for the Hoyas, and Jeremy Hazell for the Pirates. Who will show up tonight could decide this one.

Here’s what I know so far:
The refs are going to be Karl Hess, John Cahill, and Joe Lindsay.
Looks like it’s gonna be the same five starting for the Hoyas: Wright, Clark, Freeman, Vaughn, and Monroe.
For the Pirates, they should be starting Lawrence, Pope, Hazell, Mitchell, and Garcia.

  1. Mike Says:

    John Cahill, I’m surprised they didn’t wait until the Duke game to assign him to us. Fans behind the bench keep quiet, we don’t want to get another incredibly atrocious tech.


  2. Johnny Says:

    They just announced that there’s a charity table set up here at Verizon Center to help provide support to Haiti.


  3. Johnny Says:

    @Mike,

    Omari Faulkner is behind the Hoya bench. Hopefully he won’t say anything offensive.


  4. Johnny Says:

    Dr. Vincent Kelly’s back singing the National Anthem again. He’s rocking out a goatee now.


  5. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas lose the tip but Seton Hall came up empty on their first possession.


  6. Johnny Says:

    Hazell starts the scoring with a three, but the Hoyas get an alley-oop going the other way.


  7. Johnny Says:

    Austin hits his first shot of the game, a 3 to give the Hoyas their first lead 5-3.


  8. Sean Says:

    Hey Johnny. What is your prediction for the outcome?


  9. Johnny Says:

    Monroe drove to the hoop, dished it off to Vaughn on the baseline, and Julian slammed it home while getting fouled.

    He’ll be shooting one free throw after the 16:00 timeout. Hoyas up 10-7.


  10. Johnny Says:

    @Sean

    I usually don’t make predictions. But let’s see, 10-7 at 16:00 timeout, hmm…100-70 final score.


  11. Johnny Says:

    Hollis checking in as the Hoyas’ first sub of the game.


  12. Johnny Says:

    Freeman powered his way in for two.


  13. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas push the lead up to 14-7 and Bobby Gonzalez wants a timeout.


  14. Johnny Says:

    21-7, another Seton Hall timeout.


  15. Johnny Says:

    After what looked like a clear travel on Hall, Benimon picked up two quick fouls.


  16. Johnny Says:

    Seton Hall went six minutes without a field goal there.


  17. Johnny Says:

    Jiffy Lube Trivia Question:

    Which of the following Hoyas did NOT wear #32 while at Georgetown?
    A. Jeff Green
    B. Gerald Riley
    C. Patrick Ewing, Jr.
    D. Paul Tagliabue


  18. Johnny Says:

    Benimon just made his first two free throw attempts of the season.


  19. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas are winning by 16, 44-28 at the half. The Pirates had cut the lead to 8 at one point, but Georgetown closed the half well, going on a 12-4 run in the last 3:40.


  20. Mike Says:

    Hoyas up by 16 at the break. Georgetown has done a very good job of keeping Hazell under wraps. He only has 5 points, and with the exception of the wide open three he hit to start the game, he has had to work very hard to get his shot. If the hoyas can keep the clamps on him, they will be in good shape.


  21. Johnny Says:

    Greg just picked up foul #4 on the offensive end when he drove the lane and dished to Vaughn.


  22. Johnny Says:

    “Ladies and gentlemen, for the thousands here at the Verizon Center, and the millions watching at home, let’s shoot some T-shirts!”


  23. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas push the lead out to 19, and Seton Hall uses a timeout.


  24. Johnny Says:

    The Chevy Chase Bank Cash Giveaway took way too long, and the money went to a kid waving a big Chevy Chase check card poster upside-down.


  25. Johnny Says:

    Somehow Julian got called for a push when he had position and was boxing out. Seton Hall’s Mitchell went over the back and got to the ball, but he’s shooting free throws.


  26. Johnny Says:

    The fans all got to their feet as the Hoyas showed a lot of effort to get the ball. Austin dove out of bounds on the offensive end to save the ball from going out, but it went to the Hall.

    He had to run cross court for defense, and he caught the ball as Sims blocked a shot towards midcourt. He then launched a cross court pass that got intercepted, but ran back to stop the Pirates fast break.

    Then Sims wrestled the rebound away and got fouled.


  27. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas miss two straight front-ends of 1 and 1s.


  28. Johnny Says:

    Seton Hall has cut the lead to 9, and with 9:24 to play Greg checks back in with 4 fouls.


  29. Johnny Says:

    Shot clock is way off. I don’t know what happened, but the Hoyas got the rebound and dribbled up court. As they got to midcourt (maybe 3 or 4 seconds after collecting the rebound) I saw the shot clock reset from 25 to 25.

    Nobody’s complaining though.


  30. Johnny Says:

    It’s the 8:00 timeout, and the Hoyas only lead by seven, 61-54.

    Clark will be shooting two free throws, but the Hoyas haven’t scored a field goal since 12:57. That’s over five minutes of action.


  31. Johnny Says:

    Monroe blocks a shot (with 4 fouls), and outlets to Wright for the Hoyas’ first field goal in six minutes.


  32. Johnny Says:

    Herb Pope just foued out for Seton Hall. It’s the 4:00 timeout, Chris Wright will be shooting two, and Hoyas lead by 12.


  33. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas win this one 85-73. I’m off to the press room. Next up is Villanova on Sunday
