(Perspectives After the Jump)

View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:
Last time we lost three in a season to Syracuse some dude named Esherick was coach and I was still in diapers. The team played well yesterday in spite of the efforts of the refs to throw the game; even the waiters serving me pina coladas agreed that something smelled like rotten fish tacos at MSG. Squash the Orange. Hoya Saxa.
View from the Court Side Seats - A Perspective from OldHoya:
OldHoya is feeling good enough about this game that he sent HoyaSonOne up to watch at MSG. The reason for optimism: Gtown is playing with house money and the Hoyas have played pretty well over the past 2 games, particularly as the big men battled with Cincy.
As loyal readers know, OldHoya's new digs include a 103 inch HD television. Some say that tourney time leads to lower productivity - OldHoya questions the manhood of anyone who claims that watching the Hoyas dominate the Orange is anything other than productive.
Third time's the charm.
View from the Sportsbook (via DonBest) - A Perspective from Vegas:
The Line: Syracuse -4.5. Over/Under 141.
The opening line above has now moved to Cuse -6 with an o/u 139. I'll play the current 6 point line here since that's what you'll be getting in at if you wager this morning.
One of the things you always hear in sports is how difficult it is to beat a team three times. This is based on the premise that by the 3rd go-around, the team that had lost the prior two times will figure something out and that the team that had won the previous two times won't be able to match the tenacity it brought in the first two matchups.
Syracuse is a really good team, and we all know that the damn 2-3 zone gives Georgetown fits. But maybe, just maybe, the Hoyas will be able to build off that 2nd half comeback effort at Verizon. And maybe, just maybe, this noon start will prevent Cuse from streaking to a large early lead. The pick here is Georgetown +6.
Final score: Georgetown 109 - Syracuse 2.
On the Season:
Casual Hoya is 19-7 ATS.

damage control
He’s your regular 18yo freshman, but has bladder control issues. Especially after one too many Prospect house parties on a Thursday.
SirHoya - March 11, 2010
What do people see as the keys to this game?
For my part, I’d say:
1. We need to get the ball to Monroe at the low or mid post
2. we need to limit turnovers
3. 2 of our 3 perimeter shooting threats have to have good games
4. we need to contain rautins
5. our defense needs to create fast breaks (not really a key, but would be really helpful)
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - March 11, 2010
the key is WINNING
CasualHoya - March 11, 2010
go aggressively at the Cuse big men
make them sit so we can embarrass the traitor some more

its hard to think of a more heart breaking scenario than the last two games..

Canadians tried to get rid of Andy!
Contrary to popular belief, not all Canadians are Cuse fans. Most are. Must be all terrible Labatts Blue Light on offer at the Carrier Dome.
As a Hoya fanatic in the (other) nation’s capital, I can say with absolute certainty that Canada tried to ditch Andy Rautins. You see, he went to a good Catholic school in Toronto with a strong sporting tradition in football, hockey and hoops. Same high school as his father and Cuse-Douche pops Leo, who just happens to be our worst national team coach ever and worst Raps analyst ever.
I have it from a teacher on staff that Andy was so piss poor at academics that even he, son of a St. Mike’s legend that went on to play in the NBA, had to be asked to leave a Catholic education.
And leave he did, for prep school near Syracuse.
So on behalf of all Canadians, I apologize for Andy and especially his aweful hair. But trust we did tried to disown him and not judge all of us by Canada’s bastard cousin of a US city: Syracuse.
Beat the Cuse!

Mentally...
This team has got the toughness. Could’ve let that one slip to a double-digit deficit multiple times but stuck right in their faces. Keep up the interior pressure on that zone and just forcing them to shoot from the outside. We can do this.

Agreed
Chris to Austin for the midair layup (btw, the sickest play of this year IMHO) was right up the backdoor.
HoyaJoker07 - March 11, 2010
Almost every good bucket
We had in the first half was the result of a solid cut, usually baseline/backdoor. That was textbook Gtown (formerly quasi-Princeton) offense. I’m not jumping on AIR CRAWFORD here, was just clarifying.
