Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Hey guys,
2 games tonight in the Big East:

Georgetown at #2 Villanova, 7pm.
#22 Butler at Marquette, 9pm.

Huge opportunity for both the Hoyas and Marquette.

1. Villanova... 9-2, 22-2, RPI 2.
2. Xavier... 7-3, 17-6, RPI 9.
3. Creighton... 7-4, 19-4, RPI 16.
4. Butler... 7-4, 18-5, RPI 13.
5. Marquette... 6-5, 15-8, RPI 65.
6. St John's... 5-7, 11-14, RPI 124.
7. Seton Hall... 4-6, 14-8, RPI 35.
8. Providence... 4-7, 14-10, RPI 69.
9. Georgetown... 4-7, 13-11, RPI 66.
10 DePaul... 1-9, 8-15, RPI 231.

GU is still a team that I fear--if they play well on both ends for the majority of a game, they can beat about anybody. They have only done that on a few occasions, but if they gel, look out.

Also a huge game for Butler and Marquette. Marquette's offense has really been clicking, and Butler's defense hasn't been great the past few games.

I look for Butler to regain their footing and get a road win. Just can't predict a GU win over Nova. GU seems to play its best against the Jays. Against everyone else, not so much.

7:00 - Georgetown @ 2 Villanova, FS1- Tim Brando, Bill Raftery
Line: Villanova -14.5

9:00 - 22 Butler @ Marquette, CBSSN -Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas color, & Allie LaForce reporter
Line: Marquette -1.5

This is pretty close to a must win for Marquette if they want to make the tournament.

As bad as Butler's defense has been and as good as Marquette can shoot the 3, especially at home? Yeah I've got a bad feeling about this.

Tonight the Pavillion "is gonna party like it's 1985!" Boom. Go Cats! Beat down 'dem Hoyas!

First time we've had them in our on campus House of Horrors for a decade; usually the game is played at the Wells Fargo. The Hoyas are no doubt talented but I have a feeling Josh H. and Kris J. remind JT3 what a mistake it was for him to let those 2 leave the DC area.

Eddie Pinkney's Crew - 85
Patrick Ewings Posse' - 69

The Georgetown team bus was involved in a car accident while traveling to the game today. No major injuries. The team helped a mother and son out of an SUV that had been flipped over.

It does not appear to be anything serious, and perhaps unrelated entirely, but Tre Campbell is not in uniform tonight. Reports were that he bruised his knee during the accident.

Glad that they are all ok and that they helped out. Makes it a little harder to root against them even when we're playing them, but I will!

Man I haven't seen the Hoyas beaten down this bad since their trip to China!
