C'mon Hoyas and Blue Demons...close out the noncon Strong. Go Big East.

Semi big game for Depaul, if they can win, they will likely get a shot at USC which although undefeated, hasn't played a tough non-con schedule. If SJU can beat Syracuse, maybe Depaul can beat USC???

yeah if nothing else, add a 9.6-0 USC team to the 50% pot for DePaul.

Really Worried about this UNC Greensboro game. They're one of the top offensive rebounding teams in the nation and that has been a major area of weakness. They also force a lot of turnovers another area of weakness for us. On the other hand they turn the ball over as much as they force turnovers. They also are an excellent 3pt shooting team knocking down 37.7% from behind the arc. This is not going to be an easy game. If we cover that spread it will mean we have improved substantially from our last game.

Brandon Gaudin? I thought he did the play-by-play for Georgia State. Did he get hired by Fox?

Georgia Tech, and yes, he did leave there to do several things. He's the voice on the new Madden football game, does football and basketball for BTN (which is partially owned by Fox) and calls NFL games on Westwood One among other things.

Does Georgetown typically wear these white unis with grey stripes? The games I've seen them play the unis were mostly grey.

No they're an alternate jersey just like the Black we wore against Syracuse is an alternate away jersey. We also have some teal alternate jerseys we've never worn.

Good win for the Hoyas. Defended the 3 well and didn't turn the ball over too much. Got killed on the board which is so frustrating. It's all about effort but the Hoyas just don't box out consistently. Going to be a big problem in BE play especially against Xavier and Seton Hall. Luckily the rest of the league aren't great on the offensive boards.

DePaul does DePaul things, loses to Wyoming. Tied 29-29 at half then got out scored 43-29 in the second half. At least they're consistent...
