St. John’s In-Game Thread
By JohnnyHey everybody, Johnny here at the Verizon Center. It was an ordeal getting here because of the crazy weather in D.C. today, and even though we’re less than 45 minutes away from tipoff the Phonebooth is pretty empty right now.
Fans or no fans, the game will go on, and the Hoyas will get their first chance at vengeance with a rematch of the game against St. John’s 23 days ago.
The two teams are going in opposite directions right now, as St. John’s started the Big East season with three wins but are coming off of two straight losses. Georgetown started off 1-4, and have just won two straight. It’s the first home game for the Hoyas since their disappointing losses against West Virginia and Pittsburgh, so we’ll have to see if they can take the winning ways they found in New Jersey and bring it back home.
Here’s the info I have for you now:
The Hoyas will be starting the same five: Clark, Wright, Freeman, Thompson EDIT: Lubick, and Vaughn.
The Red Storm are set to start Polee Jr., Kennedy, Hardy, Horne, and Brownlee.
The refs tonight are John Cahill, Bryan Kersey, and Jeff Clark.
Check back for in-game thoughts and updates from the Verizon Center, and be sure to leave your comments on the game as well.

The man with the mic who’s normally here apparently couldn’t make it through the snow, so Steve Alleva will be handling MC duties at Verizon today

Pretty empty here so far. Hope more people show up by tipoff!
January 26th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

Update: Lubick starting in place of Thompson
January 26th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Looks like Lubick is starting instead of Thompson

I can’t decide if the national anthem was sung by the Chimes or the Beach Boys.
January 26th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Anthem was a recording by either The Chimes, the cast of Glee, or 98 degrees.
January 26th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Just set for the tip, I saw Victor Page is here tonight.
January 26th, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Hoyas lose the opening tip, get a stop and Clark gets fouled
January 26th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Vaughn gets the scoring started inside, 2-0 Hoyas
January 26th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
At the 16:00 timeout, the game’s tied 9-9. All GU points from Freeman or Vaughn
January 26th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
St. Johns matching the Hoyas shot for shot in the early going.
January 26th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
@Jocelin, it’s being covered by an ESPN crew, so if you can’t get the local MASN or SNY coverage, maybe check ESPN3.com
January 26th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Hollis is in the game, so his not starting looks like Coach’s decision
January 26th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
Now Ryan Sakamoto, Georgetown’s assistant SID is leading the timeout entertainment
January 26th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
The Pep Band is just arriving, near the halfway mark of the first half
January 26th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Austin Freeman has ANOTHER 4-point play opportunity!
January 26th, 2011 at 7:31 pm

I think I lied about Steve Alleva, it probably was Ryan the whole time.
January 26th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Great job by Henry sticking with the bungled play, and he gets a slam as a result
January 26th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Hollis gets a HUGE dunk and the foul off a backdoor
January 26th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Hoyas have their biggest lead of 11, SJU timeout.
January 26th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Hoyas do a great job to close the half and they go into the break up 40-27
January 26th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
This is the first time the Hoyas have scored 40 points in the 1st half since the Memphis game
January 26th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
Hoyas closed out the half strong. They need to come out of halftime woththe same intensity. St. Johns ball to start the half.
January 26th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Lubick starts the 2nd half, and gets a defensive rebound to start the vespers
January 26th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
5 straight for Thompson, and now a 3-point opportunity for Lubick. Hoyas up 13.
January 26th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
The St. John’s box is being eaten right now.
January 26th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
In the Hoyas 4 BE losses, they scored less than 60 each game. In the 3 wins, 70+.
Right now, there’s 6:50 left, GU 60 – SJU 44
January 26th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Clark gets SMASHED trying to go in for a dunk. No intentional
January 26th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
Clark 3 extends to largest lead – 21: 67-46
January 26th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
#21 makes the lead 21. Next play, #22 makes it 22.
January 26th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
Then #4 makes it 24.
January 26th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
At the 4:00 timeout, the Hoyas are up 70-46. Nothing like the game at the Garden
January 26th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
