Thursday afternoon update

Still basking in the glow of Thursday’s win, the Hoyas have to get ready for Marquette tomorrow night.

  • Still want to read about the Hoyas’ big upset of Syracuse?  Georgetown’s biggest win of the season, against its biggest, baddest arch-rival?  Eh?  Read a re-cap here, and read Dana O’Neil’s excellent column here.  The boys sound focused on tomorrow night already.
  • After MSG officials finished mopping the orange juice off the floor,  Marquette upset Villanova, 80-76.   Much like Georgetown’s win over Syracuse, the Golden Eagles’ win avenged two in-season losses. You can check out the box score of that game here.
  • Counting South Florida and Syracuse, Georgetown has its third revenge game in a row–Georgetown lost to Marquette in the teams’ previous meeting this year, 62-59.   Read a re-cap of that game here.  Dating back to last season, the Hoyas have dropped three straight to the Golden Eagles.  That means Greg Monroe and Jason Clark have never beaten Marquette, and there’s a 23-month old blue-and-gray-clad child out there wondering if he’ll live to see the Hoyas beat the Golden Eagles.
  • Oh, and before signing off…Hoyas win!!!

More preview of tomorrow night’s showdown follows later.
