Hey everybody, Johnny here courtside at Verizon Center for the New Year’s Eve latenight showdown between the Georgetown Hoyas and the St. John’s Red Storm. Jack the Bulldog and his handler are wearing matching tuxedos, and I’m sure we’re going to be seeing a whole bunch of fans in New Year’s attire as well.
This is the Big East opener for both teams, and after two embarrassing defeats to the Red Storm at the end of last season, the Hoyas should have enough motivation to play their best tonight.
Tonight’s refs are going to be Jim Burr, Jeffrey Clark, and Bob Donato. And here are the starting lineups for you:
For the Hoyas, it’s the usual five: Wright, Clark, Freeman, Vaughn, and Monroe
For the Ref Storm, it’s going to be: D.J. Kennedy, Malik Boothe, Sean Evans, Dele Coker, and Paris Horne.

Nice ovation for the National Anthem sung by none other than Steve Alleva from the Hoyas tickets department (in a tuxedo, of course).

Mike here. The Hoyas need a strong start, otherwise we might be in for a long night.

Great play by Greg there, diving after his own rebound and feeding Vaughn for a dunk.

Austin draws a charge to send us to the 16:00 timeout. Hoyas trail 6-5.
December 31st, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Georgetown’s defense looks good, but the offense is a little stagnant. Lots of times someone is left with the ball around the threepoint line with no one to pass to.
December 31st, 2009 at 8:16 pm
7 quick points for Chris Wright, and the Hoyas are up by 6
December 31st, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Great adjustment by Vaughn to stop, fadeaway, and use the glass instead of risking a charge. Hoyas up 21-10 and St. John’s needs a timeout.
Julian was pumped up as he headed to the bench.
December 31st, 2009 at 8:28 pm
After going nearly 3 minutes with little offense, Coach Thompson calls a timeout. Hoyas still up 21-15.
December 31st, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Hoyas up by six but they still look a little stagnant on the offensive end.
December 31st, 2009 at 8:31 pm

St. John’s cuts it to three with under a minute to play.
December 31st, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Julian makes 1 of 2 to put the lead back to five.
December 31st, 2009 at 9:55 pm
If Austin makes these, we should win.
December 31st, 2009 at 9:56 pm
And that does it. Hoyas win 66-59 in their Big East opener. They play next against DePaul on the road, and don’t play back here until January 9th.
