Georgetown:
Georgetown gritted out another win, but the Hoyas have much to improve on. They committed 18 turnovers, some on the mild press, others due to poor passing. They also gave up 16 offensive rebounds, which made it hard to pull away. On the bright side, the team got a defensive stop when they needed one, and are able to walk away from this game with a victory.

It was another incredible finish as the Hoyas defeated the Villanova Wildcats for the first time in the Verizon Center with the final score of 55-53. After a defensive stop on the final possession, Jonathan Wallace was fouled and made two free throws with 0.1 seconds remaining to give the Hoyas their 18th straight home victory. Their last loss in Chinatown was at the hands of Villanova last season.

Hey everybody, Johnny here at Verizon Center. We’re still about half an hour from the opening tip, but there are already more students here than there were at the USF game. Coming off that tough loss against Louisville, the Hoyas are looking to set things straight against a struggling Villanova team. History is not on the Hoyas’ side though as Georgetown has yet to defeat the Wildcats at their home in Chinatown.
I’ll be keeping you updated for the next few hours, so be sure to check back often and keep your thoughts coming in the comments.
Here’s a Rival Reels video that we made for the upcoming Villanova game tonight. Again, we can’t have the real audio on the web, but if you make it out to Verizon Center, you might be able to catch it as it was meant to be seen.

Before the game at Louisville, we asked everybody who would score the first points for the Hoyas. A lot of people said it would be big Roy, but only Luke said it would be on a dunk, so he wins that one. I’m sure he’d trade that victory for a different result in the game though.
Against the Cardinals, the Hoyas shot an abysmal 18.2% from three-point range. If Georgetown wants to beat the Wildcats tonight, they’re gonna need to pick up the slack from beyond the arc.
How many threes will the Hoyas make against Villanova, and who will have the most?
We’re going to go with 11 trifectas with Sapp leading the way with three of them. What do you think?
For the past few months, there have been signs around Chinatown celebrating the ten year anniversary of the Verizon Center: “Ten Years at the Center of the Action.” This weekend, sports fans in D.C. got to see the Washington Wizards celebrate the event as they gave out miniature ceramic arenas and retired #10 Earl “The Pearl” Monroe’s jersey at their game against the Toronto Raptors. For the Hoyas, it was ten years ago today that Georgetown played their first game in their new home.
