Memphis In-Game Thread
By JohnnyHey, this is Johnny. We’re about 45 minutes away from the biggest game of the pre-Big East schedule for the Hoyas, as Georgetown is set to take on Memphis at the FedEx Forum, home of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Georgetown and Memphis have some history, but ever since that first matchup in the 1983 NCAA Tournament, it looks like the Hoyas have had the Tigers’ number. Let’s see if they can keep that going this afternoon.
As usual, keep your in-game thoughts coming in the comments.

Ho Ho Hoyas!! I’m with Emily, let’s get an early Christmas present from Santa Claus III
December 22nd, 2007 at 11:56 am

December 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Not Santa Clause 3, Santa Claus the Third. Anyway, I take it back after Schulman said the same thing about early Christmas presents on the ESPN intro.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 pm

December 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Here are your starting lineups:
For the Hoyas, the usual five: Wallace, Summers, Sapp, Ewing, and Hibbert.
And for Memphis: Dozier, Dorsey, Anderson, Douglas-Roberts, and Rose
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Hoyas, dressed all in blue, win the tip, and Wallace makes a floater to start the scoring.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 pm
nice block roy!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:05 pm
I take it back too, but because the game is sponsored by Kay Jewelers.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Rose hits a three, and it’s 3-2 Memphis
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Where’s the over the back?
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 pm

December 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 pm

December 22nd, 2007 at 12:09 pm
What a pass!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 pm

December 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Let’s hit our free throws Summers.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:13 pm
make your free throws!!!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Summers grabs a steal, misses the breakaway layup, but Ewing’s tap in was offensive goaltending
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:14 pm
gotta make layups, gotta take advantage of the tos
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Rivers puts up an off the dribble 15 footer to tie the game at 7, and then Memphis needs a timeout to inbound the ball (despite no press from the Hoyas)
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Let’s keep up the rebounding Hoyas.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Memphis has to call a timeout since no player was there to take the inbound pass after the basket by Rivers. Game tied at 7, 14:17 left in the first.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:17 pm
nice shot by dajuan!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Nice 3 DaJuan!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:18 pm
all night long on the backdoor!!!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Dorsey picks up his 2nd foul and needs to sit, as the Hoyas have the ball up 12-9
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Come on, keep up the tough D.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:19 pm
I like to see Macklin’s sky-hook falling
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:20 pm
on the floor maybe?
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:21 pm
No such luck DJ, Hoyas up 3, 14-11, with 11:07 left in the first, Macklin will be shooting free throws on the other side of the official timeout.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:23 pm
big big rebound for pat
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:25 pm
come on pat, need to be better there
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:27 pm
Nice little stretch for the Hoyas: a bucket, a steal and transition layup, and another Memphis turnover.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:28 pm
make the fts!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:29 pm
Foul on Hibbert leads to the 8:00 timeout, Hoyas up by 7
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:30 pm
Foul on Hibbert, his first, team second, Hoyas lead 24-17, at the timeout 7:46 left in the half.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:31 pm
i think the foul was on the floor, so we’ll live with it, memphis already has their big guy in foul trouble
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
The Hoyas need to start making these transition layups. When we miss it allows them to run, and it takes points away from us. Have to do better.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
That was a quick 5 second call
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:34 pm
come on hoyas, take care of the ball.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:35 pm
all night long!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:36 pm
Looks like they shoved Wallace down after the back door, leading to a 5 on 4 for Memphis
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Great take from Sapp leads to a three point play opportunity
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:37 pm
big big play for sapp, keep cutting on them, they dont defend at all
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Foul on Wallace, his first, team fourth.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Wallace is upset about that call against him. You never see J-Wal complain, so you know something’s up.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Nice Jessie.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:39 pm
What a shot from Memphis. Double clutch garbage off the backboard.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Foul on Wallace, his second, team fifth.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Foul on Summers, his first, team sixth, Rose makes the basket, will be shooting one after the break. Hoyas still lead 35-29, 3:45 left in the first.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Seven point for Memphis, the Hoyas use their 30 second timeout with 2:31 left. Hoyas still lead by one.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:47 pm
come on hoyas, do better, lets get a hoop here now
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:47 pm
Summers right side deep 3 to stop the 7-0 memphis run, 38-34. That was HUGE
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:48 pm
And then a mysterious foul gives Memphis 2 points back
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:48 pm
dammit
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Memphis 3 gives the Tigers their first lead in a long time, but on the other end, Ewing will be shooting free throws
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Hoyas head into the half losing 43-40, after a disappointing end of the half.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:53 pm
40-43 at the half, time to adjust
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:53 pm
Hoyas close the half pretty poorly, and go into the locker room trailing by 3, 43-40, at the half.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Ok Hoyas. Let’s start the second half with some hoops and some good half-court defense.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:11 pm
come on hoyas, lets go here
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:11 pm
To start the second half, Dozier misses a two
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:13 pm
After a steal by Summers, Calipari gets called for a techincal
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:13 pm
calipari is a slimeball. throw him out
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Hibbert is playing horribly today
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:17 pm
refs are not calling anything
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:17 pm
wright makes the layup this time, big play
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Great steal by Wright, leads to a fast break layup.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Hoyas call timeout out a steal and layup by Wright, hoyas take a one-point lead, 46-45 with 15:37 remaining in the game
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Excuse me, AFTER a steal and layup.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Foul on Freeman, his first and the first of the half on Georgetown. Official timeout, Hoyas up by one, with 14:32 left.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:22 pm
come hoyas, gotta get some defensive rebounds.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Hard foul by Anderson on Summers as he was going to get an easy bucket
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:26 pm
free throws and missed layups are killing me
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:28 pm
we are in huge trouble now
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Memphis goes up 54-46 and Thompson needs a timeout
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:30 pm
After the goaltending on Wallace’s backdoor layup, the Hoyas trail by 6, 12 minute timeout, 11:21 left.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Nice defense by the Hoyas: force a jump, and then on the ensuing Memphis inbound, forces the Tigers to use a timeout
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:35 pm
lets go hoyas, keep up the d
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Where on earth was the foul there?
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:40 pm
3rd foul on Hibbert, team’s 4th of the half
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:41 pm
nice play by freeman need a stop here
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Time out with 7:31 left, Hoyas down by 9, Georgetown ball when we come back.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:47 pm
we gotta start a run soon,
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:47 pm
ROY, come on now!
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:48 pm
we’re done
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:49 pm
and still missing free throws
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:51 pm
team is falling apart
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:51 pm
After Memphis steps out of bounds, Rivers runs the baseline, for another turnover. Hoyas can’t do much right this half.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Hoyas ball, trailing by 15 with 3:37 remaining in the game. This one looks out of reach.
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Hoyas aren’t fouling, so looks like it’s over.
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:07 pm
There’s the final score: 71-85. Hoyas lose the first of the season. Hoyas gotta get back home and start preparing for American.
