Pittsburgh In-Game Thread
By JohnnyHey everybody, Johnny here, sitting courtside an hour before the Hoyas’ biggest game to date a home game against the #5 Pittsburgh Panthers. Georgetown’s coming off of two straight losses, their first home defeat, and a disappointing 1-3 start to the conference. It’s going to be a big test to see how the Boys in Gray respond to adversity and perform tonight.
It’s still very early, but the students are here in full force as there were lines outside Verizon Center with kids eating burritos in the cold, and there are now crowds in both student sections for the first time in several weeks.
I’ll be checking in with all I know, but for now, here’s what I got:
Hoyas will be starting the same five – Clark, Wright, Freeman, Thompson, and Vaughn.
The Panthers are starting Brown, Gibbs, Wanamaker, Robinson, and McGhee.
And the refs tonight are Ed Corbett, Pat Driscoll, and Wally Rutecki.

After warmups, Chris, Julian, and Moses ran in to the student section to get the crowd pumped for tonight’s big game.

The scoreboard here at Verizon Center says “When lights go OFF towels go UP!”
January 12th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
And @GUPepBand says the rest of the team went into the the student section while Chris, Julian, and Moses were behind me.

Moment of silence for victims in Arizona.

Greg Deutsch just finished the anthem – in the musical style of Sonny Eclipse – and now it’s time for the lineups.

Lights are off, towels are up, and they all have lights in them so it looks kinda cool.

They just showed a message from Roy in Indiana on the big screen. I think it’s the same one from last year though if I remember right.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Hoyas lose the tip, and Wanamaker starts the scoring with a 3
January 12th, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Clark ties it up with a trey on the other end
January 12th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
At the first official timeout, it’s tied at five.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
Chris Wright picks up his 2nd foul in a hurry, and Starks replaces him.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Nate misses two free throws, but Hoyas get the ball back.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
Hoyas down 6 at the 12:00 timeout. A lot of minutes for the bench so far in this one.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Austin misses a front end of the 1&1 but Clark gets the rebound and fouled on the putback attempt
January 12th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Clark misses both and Hoyas are 2-7 from the line. Yuck.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Hoyas went almost 5 minutes without a field goal and they’re down 11-24 at the 8:00 timeout.

Hoyas 11 – Ashton Gibbs 11
January 12th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
Gibs finally missed a three, Coach takes a 30-second timeout with Hoyas down 16-31. Shooting 2-8 from the stripe.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
The Hoya Shuffle is impossible. I’m 0-3
January 12th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Hoyas head into the locker room trailing by 17 – 24-41, and I heard some boos here in Chinatown.
January 12th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
Second half about to start up, and it’s Hoyas’ ball.
January 12th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Clear goaltending on Vaughn doesn’t get called, and Clark takes it to the other end for 2 FTs
January 12th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
The Georgetown Gatling gun shot a T-shirt in front of press row to the guy sitting directly under the basket.
January 12th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
8-0 run for the Panthers, Georgetown takes a timeout down 33-55
January 12th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Jack the Bulldog ate the box, but I don’t know how much that will help tonight.
January 12th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
The way these refs are calling this one, this game may never end.
January 12th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
That may have been the worst call ever made. The signal? Standing straight, arms vertical, foul on defender. Wright to shoot two bogus free throws after the timeout.
January 12th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
13 points – closest the Hoyas have been since 5 minutes left in the first half
January 12th, 2011 at 8:54 pm
Down 12 with 3 minutes left, that three would have helped. Now Pitt’s shooting FTs
January 12th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Turnovers were the difference. Too many Hoya turnovers.
January 12th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
That and Gibs.
January 12th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Hoyas call off the dogs. Too little too late for Georgeotwn as they lose the third straight to be 1-4 in conference.
January 12th, 2011 at 9:09 pm
Hoyas lose this one 57-72. Up next – @Rutgers
