Hey everyone, Johnny here at the Wachovia Center in South Philadelphia. We’re about half an hour away from tipoff between the Villanova Wildcats and the Georgetown Hoyas. The last time the Hoyas came to Philly, they came away with a thrilling victory against the 10th ranked team in the country.

This year, things are a little different as Villanova is ranked #4, but the Hoyas are right on their tail at #11. It’s a big game for both teams in the middle of a packed Big East schedule.

I’m gonna be giving updates from press row throughout, but for now, here’s what I know:
The Wildcats are going to be starting Pena, Reynolds, Fisher, Redding, and Stokes.
The Hoyas are going to put the same five out there – Wright, Clark, Freeman, Vaughn, and Monroe.



Comments

  1. Johnny Says:

    Former Georgetown assistant and now Princeton’s Director of Basketball Operations Martin Bahar is here quietly rooting on the Hoyas.


  2. Johnny Says:

    Some Georgetown fans here are getting a “Hoya Saxa” cheer going, and the Novas are fighting back with a “Let’s Go Nova”


  3. Johnny Says:

    As the PA Announcer called out the Hoyas’ starting lineups, the Nova fans chanted “SUCKS” after each of our players’ names.

    Classy.


  4. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas wearing their road black today. And Clark’s got an undershirt on.


  5. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas lose the tip, and Pena gets a bucket on their first possession.


  6. Johnny Says:

    Freeman gets the Hoyas on the board with a putback. 2-2.


  7. Johnny Says:

    And Greg gives the Hoyas their first lead with a 3, 5-4.


  8. Johnny Says:

    4 fouls on Villanova, so the refs call a makeup foul on Vaughn for a moving screen.


  9. Johnny Says:

    At the 16:00 timeout, the Hoyas are winning 8-7. Villanova already has six team fouls.

    That last one was pretty obvious, but the fans here are pretty upset anyway.


  10. Johnny Says:

    Vaughn gets his 2nd offensive foul, on Benimon enters in his place.


  11. Johnny Says:

    Chris Wright now has two fouls. He doesn’t foul much in general, so you knw the refs are just trying to take over.


  12. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas call a timeout after Villanova gets some fast break points thanks to their pressure defense. Hoyas trial by five, 20-15.


  13. Johnny Says:

    8 and a half minutes left in the half and Hoyas are shooting 1 and 1.


  14. Johnny Says:

    And now Villanova is in the 1 and 1.


  15. Johnny Says:

    Vee’s checking in with the Hoyas down 13.


  16. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas’ first field goal in three and a half minutes. Hoyas trail 40-26.


  17. Johnny Says:

    Chris Wright just picked up his third foul in transition defense.


  18. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas trail by 15 at the half, 46-31. Chris Wright and Julian Vaughn each have three fouls, and no one on the Wildcats has more than two.


  19. Mike Says:

    Mike here in section 218. Very similar to the uconn game in that the Hoyas are not running the offense well and have given up way too many points. Hopefully there will a similar turnaround in the second half.


  20. Johnny Says:

    We’re about to start the 2nd half.


  21. Johnny Says:

    Free starts the half with a three-pointer


  22. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas cut the lead to nine, and Jay Wright takes a timeout.


  23. Johnny Says:

    It’s the 16:00 timeout, and Hoyas only trail by five, 53-48. Freeman already has 10 second half points


  24. Johnny Says:

    After missing a layup, Vaughn commits his fourth foul on the other end. Not a very good ten seconds for Julian.


  25. Johnny Says:

    Clark cuts the lead to four after grabbing an offensive board, and Coach calls a quick timeout.


  26. Johnny Says:

    And now with over 12 minutes to play, Chris Wright has picked up his fourth foul.


  27. Johnny Says:

    Benimon hit a rare three because the shot clock was low.


  28. Johnny Says:

    Benimon is no longer the best free throw shooter on the team.


  29. Johnny Says:

    Benimon holds the ball for a jump and hten both players fall to the ground, leading the refs and players to run in as if there were some sort of brawl going on.


  30. Johnny Says:

    It’s a sellout here at Wachovia Center – 20,016


  31. Johnny Says:

    Benimon just picked up foul #4 going for a rebound.


  32. Johnny Says:

    Chris Wright checking back in with four fouls with 7:23 to play.


  33. Johnny Says:

    Questionable foul #4 on Reggie Redding, and Hoyas cut the lead to three with 6 minutes left.


  34. Johnny Says:

    Vaughn just fouled out with 0 points and 5:33 remaining.


  35. Johnny Says:

    Greg cuts it to two with a pair of FTs


  36. Johnny Says:

    Greg ties the game and before the timeout, Greg walks over to the corner of the court and points to the section of Hoya fans in the upper deck.


  37. Johnny Says:

    Career high points for Greg so far. He has 25 and 14 boards.


  38. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas call a timeout, with the game tied at 69. Greg now has 27 and 15.


  39. Johnny Says:

    Basket and one for Reynolds. That’s Clark’s fourth foul, and Scottie will shoot the one shot after the four minute timeout.


  40. Johnny Says:

    Taylor King of Villanova got an offensive rebound on the floor and called timeout. Only thing was, he rolled around and wasn’t holding the ball when he called the timeout.


  41. Johnny Says:

    Wright misses a tying three, Hoyas get the offensive rebound and turn it over, and now Scottie Reynolds has two shots with 36.7 remaining.


  42. Johnny Says:

    5 point game.


  43. Johnny Says:

    Freeman gets a quick two and Hoyas call timeout. 76-73 Wildcats with 25.8 remaining.


  44. Johnny Says:

    Sanford checking in for defense or a foul.


  45. Johnny Says:

    Vee fouled Reynolds before the inbound. Still 25.8 remaining.


  46. Johnny Says:

    No time went off the clock, so our subs shouldn’t be allowed back in.


  47. Johnny Says:

    Scottie made both shots, but the Hoyas still can’t check back in. No time has gone off the clock. Vee and Henry have to play this possession.


  48. Johnny Says:

    Now after seven seconds, Coach calls a timeout to get Chris and Jason into the game.


  49. Johnny Says:

    Hoyas are down five with 18.5 seconds remaining. Things don’t look good for the boys in black.


  50. Johnny Says:

    Free made two and commited a quick foul. Hoyas down three with 14 remaining – Wayns shooting two.


  51. Johnny Says:

    Greg got a basket and a foul, but airballed the free throw. Hoyas still down three.


  52. Johnny Says:

    Nova uses their last timeout because they can’t inbound.


  53. Johnny Says:

    Villanova made all their free throws down the stretch, and pulled away with this one, 82-77, their first victory against the Hoyas in 6 meetings.

    Things don’t get much easier for the Hoyas, as they face Pittsburgh next in three days.

    Anabolika bestellen bzw. Anabolika kaufen ist ein heikles Thema. Mal davon abgesehen, dass Anabolika wie anabole Steroide (z.B. Testosteron) und Wachstumshormon in den meisten L?ndern dieser Welt verschreibungspflichtige Medikamente und in einigen (z.B. den USA) mit harten Drogen gleichgesetzt werden, ist das Thema Anabolika bestellen bzw. Anabolika kaufen mit einer ethisch moralischen Frage behaftet. Ist es in Ordnung, Anabolika (wie z.B. Testosteron und Wachstumshormon) zu kaufen bzw. zu bestellen und mit deren Hilfe seinen K?rper zu H?chstleistungen anzutreiben? Und wie sind Anabolika in Punkto Nebenwirkungen zu bewerten? Sind Anabolika wie Testosteron oder Wachstumshormon, wie sie heutzutage sorglos selbst im Hobbybereich verwendet werden, harmlos oder besitzen Anabolika sch?dliche Nebenwirkungen? Desweiteren steht die Frage im Raum, ob Anabolika bestellen bzw. Anabolika kaufen ?ber das Internet so einfach und problemlos funktioniert, wie es beispielsweise in vielen Bodybuilding- und Anabolika-Communities und Foren berichtet wird? Und wie ist das Bestellen und Kaufen von Anabolika im Internet rechtlich zu bewerten Anabolika kaufen?
