The Hoyas beat Coppin State 99-89 in overtime and Wisconsin Green Bay 92-58, both games at home.
The Hoyas play Northwestern on Nov 15 before travelling to Jamaica to meet the Lions on Friday. On a side note, most of Georgetown’s games are televised on Fox TV, ABC, ESPN or CBS Sports.
The Hoyas are coming off a dismal season which saw an opening loss to Dartmouth and went downhill from there and included a winless season in conference games. I guess there are not your grandfather’s Hoyas! However, in the same season (2021) the Hoyas won the Big East Tournament and returned to the NCAAs for the first time since 2015. Rather amazing.
While their leading scorers are both guards, two of their top 5 are 6’10” 205 Akok and 6’11” 245 Wahab. If our 7 footer Issanza is still out by Friday , our inside defense will definitely be challenged by the Hoyas.
Patrick Ewing is the coach and is the first coach to win the Big East Tournament both as a player and Coach in March 2021. After a relatively poor season, the 8th seeded Hoyas won the Big East Tournament and landed in the NCAAs.
“Ewing is recognized as the greatest men’s basketball player to ever don the Blue & Gray. He was selected as one of the top 50 players in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008.”

Should be an interesting and challenging game.
The Lions won this tournament in 2018 under with our 7’4’ center Markusson and our all-WCC point guard Batemon among others (against all odds).

Gametime: Friday, Nov 18, 1:30 pm in the Jamica Classic.
Video: CBS Sports Network.

Odds are not posted yet but ESPN shows the Hoyas with a 70% chance of winning.

[LIONS90045]

Georgetown 3 point favorites
I may be wrong

[cs17]

At last check Georgetown was up to 4.5 point favorites.

ROAR LIONS! Will be nice if that UCI team is truly a tourney team, as they shot lights out.

Hopefully the boys are ready to rock in Montego Bay.

Lions need to be careful -Refs calling the game tight
Issanza on the floor longer, hooray

[oneofthesedays]

Our offense is disgusting. Pass around the perimeter a bunch, dribble into traffic, force a bad shot

[LIONS90045]

Our 3s are not dropping and it’s killing us
Plus the Hoyas size is daunting especially their 7’2” sub

[lmu2015]

Gtown making some tough shots as well, but Anderson needs to be better with the ball - making too many TOs, drives when he should swing it, swings it when he drives, etc - he has a lot to learn to be a lead guard. He plays excellent defense and the potential is there, but just needs to be coached up a bit more on making the right play.

[oneofthesedays]

One thing that I do like about this team is that they never stop fighting

[LIONS90045]

Lions attacking the hoop in lieu of 3s and it’s working!
Game tied at 46
Hopefully the Hoyas are rattled

[oneofthesedays]

Okay Ahrens!

[lmu2015]

Well the threes are falling too now so...

3-21 vs Irvine and started today like 3-17 or something, were due to make some eventually. 31-6 start to the half though, this is ridiculous.  Also, hate to say it but this started when Anderson went to the bench, ball movement is better. 

[LIONS90045]

Lions up by 15!
Did not expect to see this!!

[oneofthesedays]

When this team can get running they look much better. This whole stretch has been in transition.
