Hey everybody, Johnny here as we’re about half an hour away from the start of the 2009-10 season.
As we’ll be doing all season long, we at HoyaHoops.com are going to be providing you with in-game commentary and updates as well as a forum to talk about the game at hand.
Tonight’s game is taking place in Tulane, just minutes away from Greg Monroe’s childhood home. The team met Greg’s mom for dinner last night, and hopefully that provided them with enough motivation for their first game of the season.
I’ll be checking back in with more info in the comments section below. Feel free to join in on the conversation.

The game is still a few minutes away, but I have the starting lineups for you:
For the Hoyas, it will be:
Chris Wright, Austin Freeman, Jason Clark, Julian Vaughn, and Greg Monroe.
For the Green Wave, it’s gonna be Kris Richard, Kevin Sims, Aaron Holmes, David Booker, and Asim McQueen.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
The game’s tipoff was pushed back because the first game of the Tulane double-header (the Tulane women vs. Louisiana-Monroe) ended late.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Correction to Tulane starting lineup: Booker is out – Jeff Hogan in.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Alright, lets go now, im ready for the game to start…
November 13th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Julian Vaughn wins the tip.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:28 pm

November 13th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Freeman hits a three to start the scoring, and Tulane’s Geoff Hogan already has 2 fouls.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Vaughn hits a three to give him 5 points and the Hoyas an 8-0 lead.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:32 pm

November 13th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Freeman hitting a three is huge for him and his confidence this year.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Too many to’s for wright to start the game…
November 13th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Foul on Freeman, his first, team second.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Tried to buy the internet feed from the Tulane site but not coming through. Anyone have success with this?
November 13th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Still 8-0 for the Hoyas at the 16 minute timeout.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
@Let’s Go Hoyas!
Like Tony was saying Freeman missed his last 10 threes last season, and he starts this season 1-1. Not bad.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I like the start for Vaughn. Keep it up hoyas
November 13th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Freeman again!
November 13th, 2009 at 9:38 pm

November 13th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Another three for Austin.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
McQueen’s got Tulane’s first three points, but Greg scores his first points to push the lead to 13-3.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
2 for Monroe, 22 more!!
November 13th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Freeman gets his second foul with 13 minutes left in the first half, team’s fourth. Hoyas take a 30 second timeout.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Hollis Thompson gets his first minutes as a Hoya and makes his first jumper.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Hollis Thompson enters for the Hoyas for the first time, and he hits a three immediately upon entering.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
17-7 Hoyas, timeout Tulane
November 13th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
That’s one thing we have to stay away from this year…foul trouble.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Hoyas get two quick hoops after Tulane cut the lead to six, and Tulane takes a 30.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
yeah LGH, we arent taht deep, still young, need ourcore unit in for as long as we can
November 13th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
lets see how we handle he press this year
November 13th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Chvotkin needs to stop saying ‘Got it’ when the Hoyas miss!
November 13th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Hollis Thompson gets his first foul as a Hoya, team now has five vs. Tulane’s two.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Nikita Mescherikov enters the game for his first minutes of the season.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Nikita enters the game and commits a foul
November 13th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Foul on Nikita, his first, team’s sixth.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Another commercial listen to 980 in the middle of action! Unacceptable!
November 13th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
well, monroe padded his rebound stats there
November 13th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Wright misses layup, Tulane gains control and calls timeout to keep it. Hoyas up 8.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Little run for Tulane, and at the 8 minute official timeout, Hoyas are only up 23-19. 6:19 to go in the half.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
too many turnovers!! 9 already in like 15 minutes
November 13th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
three…
November 13th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
30-24 Hoyas at the 4 minute timeout.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Foul on Vaughan, his first team’s seventh, Tulane to the line to try to complete the three point play after the timeout.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
We need some more defense.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Vaughan at the line to shoot two, misses both.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
take care of the bal hoyas!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
big fts greg!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
At the end of the half, Georgetown’s up by five, 32-27.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Hmmm…They still do ESPN gamebreaks on 980 on-line; even when the ball is in play. Not good, I will be following Game Tracker if this continues.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Decent first half. Let’s try and keep the turnovers down in the next 20 mins.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Tulane cheerleaders are dancing to Thriller. And so is their weird mascot creature.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Here’s a rundown of the Hoyas with fouls:
Freeman – 2
Clark – 1
Monroe – 1
Thompson – 1
Nikita – 1
Vaughn – 1
November 13th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I see his name is Riptide. It’s some sort of bird – a pelican maybe – but it’s got green wavy feathers.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
alright hoyas, lets put these guys away, come out strong and no let up!!!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Tulane misses a three to start the second half, and Greg pulls down the rebound.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Love hearing Chvotkin talk about the “vespers half”
November 13th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Foul on Monroe, his second, team’s first of the second half.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Monroe baby!!!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Monroe in the “Muscle Tussle”
November 13th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Georgetown’s biggest lead is 12 – Tulane cut it to 10, but a backdoor put it back up to 12
November 13th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Foul on Clark (his 2nd, team’s 2nd) and we’re at the 16 minute timeout, Hoyas up 41-29
November 13th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
muscle tussle, baby! muscle tussle!!!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Chvotkin quote after TECH for hanging on rim…”A little too much mistard on That hot dog”!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
we are alittle off from the line, all our fts are getting some rim, someoe should check the hoops at mcdonough.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Technical foul on Asim McQueen for hanging on the rim after a dunk. I couldn’t come up with a good Bullitt joke though.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Horrible call by the officials. Clearly a block and Vaughan makes the basket, but they call the foul on the floor. Impossible.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
righthanded there for monroe, 12 points!! halfway there baby!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Freeman’s dunk pushes the lead to 14, and Tulane takes a timeout.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Another ESPN on-line cut-in…this is awful!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Let’s keep up this pace Hoyas!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Who is this Freeman? He seems to be playing like a monster…
November 13th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
gotta focus on fts boys
November 13th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Another timeout for Tulane, the Hoyas starting to stretch out their lead, 53-38.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
I agree DJ…JT3 better have them practicing FT… we will need those in the Big East conference this year.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Big dunk by Henry Sims on a Hollis miss
November 13th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Nice putback dunk from Sims. He came from the weakside and no one boxed him out.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Nice hustle defense. Wright came from the blindside to steal the ball away from Kevin Sims. I think the footsteps from Henry Sims helped distract Kevin so Chris could sneak in to take the ball away.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Seems like Monroe is more aggressive looking to score first, then pass
November 13th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
nice!!! pile it on hoyas!!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
nice sims!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Foul on Vaughn, his second, team’s fifth.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Official timeout – Hoyas up 61-43.
November 13th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
keep scoring greg!!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
is this court smaller than regulation? thats like the 10th time someone has stepped on the line.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Foul on Chris Wright, his first.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Freeman hits another 3 and he has 16 points.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
cant foul them on three pointers…
November 13th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Monroe misses the front end of the 1-and-1, then Henry Sims gets called for an over-the-back foul, sending Tulane into the 1-and-1 on the other end.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
come on henry, lets make these
November 13th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
need 6 more points, greg…..
November 13th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
sims needs to learn to make foul shots
November 13th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
lets see if we can avoit takin 4 minute timeout!
November 13th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
noooo! now we have to take the 4 minute timeout!
November 13th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Another ESPN 980 interruption – I’m outta here. Good night. Go Hoyas!
November 13th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
1:15 left, Hoyas up by 22, offical timeout.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Vee Sanford making his first appearance as a Hoya, and he only has a little over a minute to play in this one.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
well, not 24 points, but a good game for greg!!!
November 13th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Nik… move your feet
November 13th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Big win boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 13th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
And that’ll do it. The Hoyas win their first game of the year 74-58. A double-double for Greg, a career high for Jason, and a nice start to his junior season for Austin.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Great start to the season for Monroe and Freeman. Looking forward to Tuesday!
