The Match-Up
The #7 Georgetown Hoyas travel to the state of Connecticut to take on the UConn Huskies Wednesday evening. John Thompson III has done a magnificent job this season and the Hoyas have been on a tear for over a month now, winning their last 9 games in a row. UConn head coach Kevin Ollie has the Huskies playing inspired basketball as well, despite being banned from post-season play this season. UConn is led by Junior Shabazz Napier (17.2ppg, 4.6 apg) who has been on fire as of late, scoring 27.5 ppg in the last two contests. Napier has also shot a sizzling 11-18 from downtown in the last two games. The Georgetown Hoyas are led by sophomore Otto Porter Jr. (15.9 ppg, 7.7 rpg). Porter exploded in New York versus #12 Syracuse on Saturday, scoring 33 of Georgetown’s 56 points in the Georgetown victory.

Swagger Assassins
How’s it going Mr. Michael Carter-Williams? Feeling all brash and bumptious now? Last week, you proclaimed eternal superiority over the Georgetown Hoyas. Let us remind everyone what you said, “We’ve always been better than them, always will be better than them,” you said. “And we just want to go out on top.”

If you need reminding Mr. Williams, that Georgetown team just beat your Syracuse team. In your house, no less. How’s it taste Mr. Williams? Feeling all superior now? Is the whip of revenge as cold as they say it is? Your team being held to 46 points by the Hoyas kind of hurt didn’t it? You hear that sound Mr. Williams? That’s the sound of a whimper, a limping ego thrown onto a stretcher. Swagger terminated.
