The Hoyas dominated the second half Saturday, hanging 45 on Cincinnati after the break. Austin Freeman gave an inspiring performance, scoring 24 points and looking thoroughly energized. Greg Monroe turned in an excellent day as well, notching 19 points and 15 rebounds. You can read the live blog of the action here. The win was an optimistic return to form for the Hoyas, who badly needed some good news and got it in emphatic fashion.
The Hoyas finish 10-8 after and up-and-down Big East season. They’ll finish somewhere between sixth and eighth in the standings, depending on the outcomes of the Syracuse-Louisville and Notre Dame-Marquette games later today. Hold your noses and root for Syracuse and Marquette, or at least against the other two. In any case, their next game will be on Wednesday in the Big East tournament.
