What a way for Chris Wright to make his return to the court. In Madison Square Garden, the world's most famous arena, for the Big East Tournament.
He didn't show many signs of rust in his 15 minutes on the court. Chris ended the day by hitting two 3 pointers and dishing out 4 assists in 15 minutes of action. I mean he only missed 19 straight games with foot problems.
What a crazy game. I wasn't able to make it up the Garden today because every once in awhile something comes before Georgetown Basketball. This time it was my mom flying in from Denver for a visit. She was scheduled to land towards the end of the game but it worked out well for everybody that her plane was a tad bit late. Everybody wins. She wins, I win, and lets be honest, most importantly the Hoyas win!
The last time these two teams faced off against each other it ended with a touch foul on Wallace with .1 left. Very controversial. It looked like they guys were tired of hearing about how that win was somehow tainted so they went out and just blew them out of the water by hitting a tournament record 17 three's.
If you had told me that Roy Hibbert would foul out without scoring a single point, I would probably tell you that there's no chance the good guys are gonna win.
WRONG.
The numbers for the rest of the guys was sorta staggering:
Wallace 20 points including 5 for 6 three's.
Sapp a career high 23 including 6 for 9 three's.
Summers 19 points including 4 for 7 three's.
Ewing went for 7 points, 9 boards, and 7 assists off the bench.
Oh and they assisted on 25 of their 28 makes for the game.
There is really nothing like tournament time.
PS. I believe in a thing called Roy.
