(Perspectives After the Jump)
View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:
Because it is midterm (torture) time, I feel like I haven’t slept in weeks. However, as a wise man once said, "That is just College." As my mind turns to an anticipation of Spring Break, I realize that tomorrow (today now I guess) is more important than tropical drinks and hot chicks on a beach.
Luke Harangody is unlikely to play tomorrow. And while that means that we will not have to see as much of his hideous face, Notre Dame is still a dangerous team without him on the floor (just ask Pittsburgh). Honestly, we are a better school, with a better basketball team, and hotter Catholic girls. However, we better get a big crowd and a lot of students to come out to the game because we are a better basketball team than Rutgers, USF and ODU, and we got pushed around.
Even though God would like to stay out of the battle of two Catholic institutions, I want Henry Sims to actualize a divine intervention and show Notre Dame the door to our house. That is all I can write because the sun is rising and I have to catch a couple hours of shuteye before we steal Notre Dame’s pot of gold. Hoya Saxa!
View from the Court Side Seats - A Perspective from OldHoya:
Old Hoya is not a fan of Notre Dame. No matter the who is on the court, or on the bench, the games always come down to the last second, with either Kevin Braswell missing open game-winning shot, or Roy Hibbert miraculously dunking the ball in the closing seconds of the game.
Not comfortable with this game, the Irish will come to play, hopefully the Hoyas do as well.
View from the Sportsbook (via DonBest) - A Perspective from Vegas:
The Line: Georgetown -12. Over/under 147.
-12? Really?
I would have to think twice about giving DePaul 12 points so I'm sure as hell not giving them to Notre Dame, a team still fighting to salvage its dignity and playing better without Shrek clogging the middle.
The pick is Notre Dame +12 with a final score of Georgetown 72 - ND 64.
On the season:
The Hoyas are currently 12-10 ATS.
Georgetown is 5-3 ATS on the Road, 5-7 ATS at Home, and 2-0 on Neutral Courts.
Casual Hoya is 15-7 ATS.

-12?
Varmint better load up on ND and recoup some of his digni, er losses.
JahidiLikesPie - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Twelve points is just too many.
I am 13-9. But still much better than Varmint. My pick is also NOTRE DAME +12.
lordnick - February 27, 2010
You’re all goign to be surprised. We’ve owned ND at Verizon. Hoyas will cover. We’ve blown them out the last two times at home. Let’s make it 3!
hoyasincebirth - February 27, 2010
I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CDs
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy
CasualHoya - February 27, 2010
Luke Harangody
just got denied access to his locker room for being in street clothes.
Hoya Vey - February 27, 2010 via mobile
High-Five to Verizon Center Security
Don’t let that mongoloid anywhere near the locker room. If only Security had been this thorough when Gilbert and the Bullets were playing show ’n tell…

AustinFreeman'sCousin - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Why isnt freeman on the court for shoot around???
RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Freeman didnt run out with team. Hollis is listed as starter.
RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - February 27, 2010 via mobile
What?
Why??
JGD - February 27, 2010
peroni!
lordnick - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Freeman isnt on the bench...play hard, pray harder
RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Disregard - Lawrence of Dematha is on the bench with a towl over his head
RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Row of Shame
121 S continues the revolving door of opposing fans. Domers in seats 1-7.
ZagHoya04 - February 27, 2010 via mobile
From rush the court blog
Freeman is on the bench with a towel on his head. Word on press row is that he may be sick.
JGD - February 27, 2010
These jerseys are atrocious
We look like a bunch of fairies
JGD - February 27, 2010
No freeman yikes!
Hollis’ coming out party?
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Wright an absolute trainwreck thus far
JGD - February 27, 2010
oh so no Wright and no Freeman- perfect
blargh
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Wonderful
We suck without Freeman. Good thing we dont have a game Monday too.
JGD - February 27, 2010
Freeman not even on the bench
Hollis has 5
JGD - February 27, 2010
Hollis!
where is MWS?
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Now Austin coming in
JGD - February 27, 2010
Per Austin's twitter
40 minutes of hell…..Lord help me get thru this…
Sick or discipline?
JGD - February 27, 2010
he always says that
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
The Lord help me get through this part
JGD - February 27, 2010
Freeman was definitely sick
Ballin’ is a Habit:
He is probably sick, he has a bandage on his arm from where it looks like he was receiving an IV.
JGD - February 27, 2010
Our "rebounding"
Is atrocious
DHB Enterprises - February 27, 2010
Every game starts the same
Lazy rebounding, passing and passes.
Only down 5
JGD - February 27, 2010
Better star rebounding..
Can’t keep giving nd second and third chances… Ther are too good on O
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Agreed
JGD - February 27, 2010
Jesus Henry
That was awful
JGD - February 27, 2010
WTF Henry… Pass the effing ball
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Awful start and only down 4
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
This rebounding is amazing
Staggeringly bad
JGD - February 27, 2010
Does anyone else
Think the girl in the Sonic commercial has a very bizarre and annoying accent?
DHB Enterprises - February 27, 2010
Sounds like she's from Wasilla
RCGT - February 27, 2010
injured ND player
Lordnick just shouted “STEP ON HIS NECK!!!!”
JahidiLikesPie - February 27, 2010 via mobile
These weak 1st halves..
Are really starting to piss me off
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Freeman looks skinny and sickly
JGD - February 27, 2010
Carleton scott
Averages 3.6 a game.. Already has 12
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
At least Vaughn looks healthy again
JGD - February 27, 2010
What a difference a year makes...
Freeman looks skinny?
tashoya - February 27, 2010
Does Freeman have a case
of Abromaitis?
tashoya - February 27, 2010
Awful pass
Jason
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Was it Jason or Hollis?
JGD - February 27, 2010
Jason.. Tough to tell with these unis
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Jason, you're right
JGD - February 27, 2010
Why try to run a break?
Even if we score there, they have plenty of time to score again
DHB Enterprises - February 27, 2010
Agreed
pretty bad idea imo. hold the ball, shoot the j
RCGT - February 27, 2010
i really should have gone to lemoyne
CasualHoya - February 27, 2010 via mobile
My sister went to lemoyne.. Shit school in a shittier city
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Looks like Vaughn has hips/lower back problem
He keeps stretching has back on the bench and he won’t/cant sit down infront of the scorers table when he is waiting to sub.
RileysDressLikeAHoyaJersey - February 27, 2010 via mobile
He looked a lot better this half than he has since Nova
JGD - February 27, 2010
Hansbrough killing us
JGD - February 27, 2010
He’s on fire… Austin-esque 2nd half for him thus far
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
we are as horrible
As jeffgreensfad’s drinking problem
lordnick - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Somebody needs to buy Austin a Steak
he looks lethargic out there, he could use some red meat
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Clearly sick as hell
Sucks to watch
JGD - February 27, 2010
Agreed.. Why not just play Hollis then? Austin is obviously hurting
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Agreed
He just has to get off the floor
JGD - February 27, 2010
Monroe, Wright and Clark
Has to come from them
JGD - February 27, 2010
Unclear why Jason isn't guarding Hansbrough
JGD - February 27, 2010
Monroe
Greg must touch the ball on every offensive possession, especially with Austin sick.
DHB Enterprises - February 27, 2010
Our cheerleaders are cute
I should get out of the library more.
RCGT - February 27, 2010
One person who should not be guarding Hansbrough
Greg Monroe. wtf
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
This is brutal
Nd is just shredding us.. We can’t get a stop
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Or a rebound
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Haha, they just flashed an icon
That said we have 89 turnovers
That’s how it feels
njhoya06 - February 27, 2010
jason clark
Into the locker room. Now back out.
lordnick - February 27, 2010 via mobile
i blame rhe uniforms
they are awful
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Let's make a run here
Come on fellas!!
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Such a second half team
I wish we could play like this for 40 minutes
RCGT - February 27, 2010
Jack just mooned the camera
I think he wants his butt scratched
RCGT - February 27, 2010
we are 1-0 in games where jack's butt has done something special
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Awful offensive possession there...
Monroe was triple teamed… Need to pass it back out
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Good pass by wright
JGD - February 27, 2010
"nd has more offensive rebounds
Than Georgetown has rebounds".. Not a good stat
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
freeman playing awful
on offense and defense
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
This sucks
JGD - February 27, 2010
Monroe's turnovers are killing us
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Horrendous
This sucks..
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
maybe Austin got sick
from watching this game. I certainly am.
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Ugh...
not that it matters but That wasn’t a foul on that 3..
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
So awful to watch
JGD - February 27, 2010
Last time I sell my tickets on hoya talk… I usually just donate the tix that I can’t use to the athletic department… For this game, I used hoya talk.. It’s obviously bad luck..
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
i am now
16-7 ATS.
CasualHoya - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Sanford may be our best defender
He plays like 2 min a game and averages like 2 steals
JGD - February 27, 2010
Vee
Needs more time… Love what he does out there.. With Freeman sick and struggling today, vee shoulda played more
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
I really expected him to get some run with Austin out.
DHB Enterprises - February 27, 2010
Unis
Hopefully it’s the last time we see these ugly unis… Eff air Jordan and nike
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
WHY IS FREEMAN IN THE GAME
JGD - February 27, 2010
He shouldn’t have played at all. If he’s sick, the team should be resting him for Monday. It’s not like he’s given us anything.
DHB Enterprises - February 27, 2010
he should have played
but then been benched once it became obvious he was utterly ineffective
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
Agree… Austin looked really sick… He tried but he was a liability out there.. Hollis and vee shoulda played more.. Austin probably shouldve sat this one out
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
In the immortal words of Al Czervik..
I shoulda stayed home and played with myself
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
TIME FOR 3 BALLS
SHOOT THE J! SHOOT IT!
RCGT - February 27, 2010
this team and this blog
Fuck them
JahidiLikesPie - February 27, 2010 via mobile
this game reminds me of the WVU game last year
ugh
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - February 27, 2010
do i hear
chants of “Let’s go Irish”????
WTF
RCGT - February 27, 2010
Complete no show today.. Embarrassing performance..
Gtowndude - February 27, 2010 via mobile
silver fox
I tried to to you people.
Jordan screws the program again!!! Ed Spriggs got Freeman sick in YATES!
JahidiLikesPie - February 27, 2010 via mobile
Fucking Bullshit
That game was terrible. G’Town came out in hospital gowns and didn’t even look, or play, like themselves. An embarrasment to lose to such a trash program as ND.
