The Big East released the 2010-11 men’s basketball slate on Thursday. Here’s Georgetown’s sched:
- Home: Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette, Pittsburgh, Providence, St. John’s, Syracuse, West Virginia
- Away: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Notre Dame, Rutgers, St. John’s, Seton Hall, USF, Syracuse, Villanova
As usual ‘Cuse twice.
Also, Greg Monroe got drafted #7 by the Detroit Pistons, or, as it’s becoming known, Georgetown University Graduate School of Basketball. Monroe should get a chance to contribute, if not start, immediately for the Pistons, who lacked toughness and hair on the inside last year. One question: why did he relegate JTIII to the stands at MSG? Anyway, fourth straight year with a Hoya drafted, and third lottery pick in the JTIII era, which will only help on the recruiting trail. Good night for Georgetown but, more importantly, a terrific night for Monroe and his family. Congratulations to the big fella.
