Georgetown 1.5 pt favorite. There schedule has been weak but I expect a rock fight.

Is there a chance Zach plays tonight? I’m afraid if he doesn’t their size will be too much for us especially if we can’t hit three’s.

What is game time? the Schedule on MM shows 8:00 PM but other places say 7:00 PM including the first post on this thread.

I was wrong about the time on this thread. looks like it is an 8:00 PM Start.

Georgetown is huge. Sorber is 6 foot 10 and weighs 255. I read Swain is supposed to take him. Very tough match up for us . Maybe tonight we play a little Zone. Swain will have a hard time staying out of foul trouble covering someone that big. Hope we can slow Epps down. He killed us last year. That's enough negative vibes from me. We blow them out by 20. Go X.

GTown's Thomas Sorter is a load. Lengthy, strong, skilled big who also has a nice touch from the outside. He and the other 6'11" big will be a challenge. X will either double up on Sorter and/or mix in some zone. They only have two guys who shoot well from 3 and shoot 32% from deep as a team. Unfortunately, Hugley is going to be relied on a lot tonight. I'd feel a lot better if it was Djokovic.

Freemantle is warming up. No word yet if he will play

This game is a must win. i realize GT is better and they beat Creighton but we need to beat a team like this. They maybe big but what I have seen there are no dogs and they are young

So far, X can't buy a three. 0-6 Team looks unsure.
