Well they have only lost 11 games at the Peterson Events Center since it opened in 2002. Bad news for them is that two of those losses are to JT3 and the Hoyas.
Last year January Pitt came into the Verizon Center and ended the Hoyas 29 game home winning streak. It seems only fitting that the Hoyas ended Pitt's 31 home game winning streak tonight.
After jumping out to a 6-0 lead the game was back and forth most of the night. Georgetown got up 27-20 late in the first half only to end up tied at the half.
Rather then giving you a game story that can be found by some Johnny from the AP, I will give you the big things that I took away from the game.
-Wright, Freeman, Monroe. Pick you poison. Either one of them can erupt at any given time.
-The Hoyas have one of the best starting 5's in the country. The problem is that they are getting little in terms of scoring off the bench.
- That being said, Benimon is really starting to come on as a solid sub. He doesn't score that much but he has really given them some solid minutes off the bench. I can't believe he didn't get called for a charge in the play where he actually got an and 1. He seems a bit lost at times when the team goes to zone.
-Sims just doesn't have it right now. He went in with the score 27-20 and went out with the score 29-29. He left his man on defense and it resulted in 3 dunks by McGhee.
-Hollis needs to play heavy minutes vs Rutgers and get some confidence going. They will need him during their run in March.
-They only seem to have one inbounds play but it always seems to work. Unbelievable.
-Vaughn and Monroe have to be the best passing combination of big men in the country.
I want everybody to come back next year. It would be sick.
