    Syracuse brought Georgetown down to earth, amassing a lead of 19 at one point, and ended up winning 77-70 cause Paul Harris is dumb and almost lost us the game.

    But holy shit, I'm soooo riled up!!

    And right now, USF (who just beat SU) are matchin up to UConn and have just sent the game into overtime on a 3 pointer and a HUGE UConn turnover [​IMG] .

    Wow, I didn't go to this game merely because I didn't want to see us get killed since we lost to the friggin Bulls. How the hell can we win against Gtown but not the easy schools haha.

    Paul Harris = Amazing

    Patrick Ewing JR = Bruce Bowen

    I know, it makes no sense.

    Paul Harris was pretty damn good for the most part, but did you see at the end? Offensive foul when there was no need to attack at the moment. And then foul on a three-pointer.

    Swear to god, if he didn't make all those free throws, I'd be writing up a petition that wouldn't allow him to play in the final 5 minutes.

    Georgetown not looking so good again here today, as Providence is up with the first half entering the final five minutes. I'm just wondering, why does Georgetown not look for Hibbert more? The dude is 7'3" and what, 260lbs, no one on any team can guard without using multiple players. It'd make sense to get him more touches.

    Because their offense revolves around wing players. And Hibbert is a little overrated.

    Regardless of the offense they have, though, he tends to completely disappear during games. On both ends of the floor.

    Of course, they still consistently have him to go to in the clutch.

    Could it be a 3rd loss in 4 games for GTown? They're down 30-29 at half.

    SU is too inconsistent, and Devendorf + Rautins being out is hurting them way too much.

    Big East once again making it's case as the best basketball conference in the country.

    Unfortunately, my team (Seton Hall) is imploding. They haven't been the same since they lost Paul Gause. That was a HUGE blow.

    If we had those two healthy along with a center, we'd be a dangerous team. Hopefully not ever nips at the sign of NBA spotlights.

    Yeah, I know.

    You could tell that at the end of the game, everyone was just tired out. If we had depth, that wouldn't be a problem...but now, fatigue is killin 'em. It especially shows with the non-existent hustle for the loose rebound, to run out to a shooter, or to box out. It sucks.
