Our last Pregame Predictions asked you to pick the leading scorer for the Hoyas in their game against Tennessee. Sami got the answer exactly right, predicting that Chris Wright would lead the team with 18 points. He did just that. Well done, Sami.

As you know, the Hoyas take on the Terps tomorrow in what may turn out to be one of the most highly anticipated third-place game in the history of the Old Spice Classic. It will be a battle between the Georgetown defense and the Maryland offense. Here is our question:

What will be the total number of points scored?

Our guess is the Georgetown defense will keep the game in the high fifties or low sixties, so we say 120. Your guess? Put it in the comments.

Georgetown University is 12 miles away from the University of Maryland, but the two schools have been separated by more than miles when it comes to playing each other during the regular season. Now, 850 miles south of the nation’s capital, the Hoyas and the Terps are ready to meet for only the third time since the 1980 NCAA Tournament semifinal. Supporters of both programs have always clamored to have the two teams play more often, and now at last, the fans have what they want every season, a head to head meeting. The two best teams in the Metro area will meet in the Third Place game of the Old Spice Classic, but as far as basketball fans in the Baltimore-Washington area are concerned the only game that matters is the consolation game. The loser will collect their second loss in a row, the winner will return home with a 2-1 record from the tournament in Orlando, but more importantly will hold the bragging rights until the next time the teams meet, which most likely will not be any time soon.

Georgetown: 78, Tennessee: 90

Hey everybody, Johnny here from the court of the Milk House in Disney’s Wide World of Sports. The teams are warming up as the semifinal game is set to tipoff in about ten minutes between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Georgetown Hoyas.

After defeating the Wichita State Shockers yesterday, 58-50, the Hoyas are preparing themselves for the Big East Tournament with this one-day turnaround against excellent competition. This Tennessee team is ranked #12 in both polls and looked very impressive in their Old Spice opener against Siena.

I’ll fill everyone in with the starting lineups and any information I can give you from my vantage point. Add your own thoughts in the comment.

In our last Pregame Predictions, we asked you to predict the number of points Greg Monroe would score. He ended up scoring 11 points, going 3-6 from the field in the Hoyas’ 58-50 win over Wichita State. That means that Hoya Gray was the closest, giving him another correct guess. Well done.

The Hoyas pride themselves on being an unselfish team. In the three games this season, Georgetown has had a different player lead the team in scoring. We thought we would ask you to pick the next one.

Which player will lead the team in scoring against the Volunteers and how many points will he have?

We think it is Jessie Sapp’s turn to step up, and his leadership will be needed against a tough Tennessee side. We think he’ll get 16 points. Give us your predictions in the comments, and try to cut into Hoya Gray’s early lead in the race for the Hoya Hoops t-shirt.

Georgetown withstood a sloppy performance to eventually pull away from the Wichita State Shockers 58-50 in the opening round of the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Florida. The Hoyas were led by Austin Freeman, who scored a game-high 18 points on 6-10 shooting. DaJuan Summers scored 14 points all in the second half, and Greg Monroe added 11 points. The Hoyas are now 3-0 to start the season.

Hello! I’ve made it down to Florida, I’m sitting on the floor of The Milk House in the Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World, and I’m watching the end of the opening game of the Old Spice Classic between Tennessee and Siena. Right now there’s 10 minutes to go and the Volunteers are winning by 17. The Hoyas will begin their game half an hour after the finish of this game, so the 2:00 start time was a little off, but hopefully that means you all can finish your turkey and digest in front of the tube.

I’ll give you the lineups as soon as I get them and I’ll be posting updates and comments throughout the game. Feel free to leave your own thoughts and comments below. (You know the drill.)
