Before the Memphis game, we asked what the total points would be between the two teams. We guessed 153 and the Hoyas and Tigers combined for 156. Unfortunately, Georgetown didn’t have more than half of those points though. So we won that contest, but the Hoyas lost the game. Let’s see if you guys can beat us in the predictions, and the Hoyas can beat their foes this weekend.

Since Georgetown is taking on two teams this weekend (yes, we’re counting Monday as a part of the weekend), we’ve decided to combine the predictions this time, and just ask one question:

Which player will score the most points against American and Fordham and what will his point total be?

Now we mean combined points here, so we only want one player. We’re gonna go with Roy with 43 because after the Memphis game, he made some comments about being more aggressive from now on.

What do you think?

People all over the Metro area - and all over the nation to some extent - have made a big deal about Georgetown not playing Maryland in basketball. We all know the truth about the MD-GU series. After playing at the Capital Centre in the 1993-94 season, Maryland refused to the agreed upon terms and the return game was never played. Somehow Maryland still feels that Georgetown is to blame. Two coaches later and after many attempts to bury the hatchet by the Hoyas, the feud continues. Basically, the fact that Maryland and Georgetown haven’t played in this area in nearly fifteen years falls on the Terps, but the Hoyas are responsible for shutting down another local rivalry.

There are different kinds of losses, but whether you get blown out, lose at the buzzer, are cheated by the refs, or lay an egg, the important thing is that the loss doesn’t start a trend. The Memphis second half was a bit of a nightmare for the Hoyas, but the loss won’t matter much in the end if the Hoyas can make sure the reasons they were defeated by the Tigers don’t reoccur often. The question remains - what went wrong for the Hoyas against Memphis? The answer is, quite a bit.

• Pittsburgh senior Mike Cook is out for the rest of the season. Cook was injured in the first minute of overtime during Pitt’s victory over Duke.
• West Virginia Coach Bob Huggins won his 600th game with a 77-54 victory over Canisius. Huggins is the third current Big East coach to reach the landmark, joining Jim Calhoun and Jim Boeheim.

Teams

Georgetown:
The Hoyas looked pretty bad in their first loss of the year. After a strong first 15 minutes, near the end of the first half the Hoyas let an eight point lead turn into a three point deficit. It was all downhill from there, as the offense got upset by the Memphis defense, and poor rebounding gave the Tigers too many easy points.
Georgetown lost its first game of the season, losing to the Memphis Tigers, 85-71. Douglas-Freeman had a game-high 24 points, as the Hoyas drop to 8-1 on the season.
