(Perspectives After the Jump)
View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:
Wow. What a game yesterday, I had all the old ladies doing underwater aerobics in the swimming pool cheering for the Hoyas (note to self, don't book a Spring Break hotel on hotels.com) Loving the 2010 Revenge Tour. Hating the fact I am in the Bahamas for it. Woe is me. Hoya Saxa!
View from the Court Side Seats - A Perspective from OldHoya:
HoyaSon1 reports joy throughout Manhattan following yesterday's game and OldHoya assures you that there was joy at Milano and Martin's last night. Seriously, knocking off those scumbags from Cuse and that clown, Rautins?
Tonight should be an excellent start for the weekend though OldHoya is still confused by geography and doesn't grasp how Marquette is part of the Big East. Don't really have to dig into the memory banks for this one but if past is prelude, Gtown is well equipped to handle the Eagles this evening - that game really saw Jeff Green start to come together in the postseason and OldHoya sees this as Monroe's next step to dominating the tournament.
Oh and if anyone's (un)lucky enough to be in Milwaukee during the summer, drop a hundred on #3 in memory of OldHoya.
View from the Sportsbook (via DonBest) - A Perspective from Vegas:
The Line: Georgetown -3. Over/Under 133.
Bet against the Hoyas during Revenge Week 2K10? Marquette doesn't have a guy taller than 6'6" and if they aren't en fuego from deep they won't be able to keep up with the Hoyas inside. I expect Julian Vaughn to play a big role tonight.
HOYA.
HOYA.
SAXA.
The pick is Georgetown -3. Final score Hoyas 74 - Golden Schlongs 66.
On the Season:
Casual Hoya is 20-7 ATS.

BEAT MARQUETTE
WIN IT ALL
tjm62 - March 12, 2010
Julian Vaughn??
Where did that prediction come from? JuJu has been near invisible last two games (other than his “deposit” of vomit in the trash can during the USF game.
Not saying its impossible, but… its kind of out there.
SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak - March 12, 2010
Things trend towards the average...
It is not a bold prediction to expect more from JV tonight, nor is it not bold to say that Freeman will be better from beyond the arc.
And against smaller opponents, we’re more likely to look for JV in the paint.
tjm62 - March 12, 2010
which one of us is 20-7 ATS this year?
CasualHoya - March 12, 2010
hahaha true dat... I've been humbled
I bow to the wisdom of Teddy. Julian Vaughn will have 16 pts and 8 rebounds

No it is for Sunday night.
YES.
CasualHoya - March 12, 2010
Thought so
HoyaJoker is a silly fool
wadetandy - March 12, 2010
It's true!
I thought they might be for tomorrow night (yes, despite the post being on this thread) and got all excited. Good thing my realization of my mistake stayed within the safe confines of a friendly Gchat windo-…oh.
Damn it, my error is now a GLOBAL PHENOMENON.

YOU LOSER

JGD - March 12, 2010
Seeding
So…at worst a 5 seed.
What’s the ceiling and make your argument…
CasualHoya - March 12, 2010
Ceiling is a 3 seed
We would be 24-9 with victories over Syracuse (N), Duke, Villanova, @Pitt, @Louisville, West Va (N), Butler (N), Washington (N), Marquette (N).
Can’t really mess with that, especially with #1 SOS and riding a 5 game winning streak.
JGD - March 12, 2010
About to throw myself out a window
I agree with JGD. Ceiling is definitely a 3. Even the bad losses, loike Rutgers don’t seem quite that bad.
itsallthatmatters - March 12, 2010
Does a win tonight and loss tomorrow get us a 4?
CasualHoya - March 12, 2010
Yes
Unless it’s a 20 point loss to Notre Dame and the Gody
itsallthatmatters - March 12, 2010
so essentially we are jumping a seed in EVERY game this week
6, 5,>>>

2009: Nikita v. Marquette
Wonder if Nikita regrets transferring? Would give him a chance at redemption after these statlines:
2.21: Marquette 78-Gtown 72
3 points, 5 fouls
1.34: Marquette 94-Gtown 82
5 points, 5 fouls
itsallthatmatters - March 12, 2010
All Foul Per Minute Team
PG – Nikita
SG – Dahntay Jones
SF – Nikita
PF – Taylor King
C – Antonio Pena
JGD - March 12, 2010
Pena over Thabeet - bold choice
bunk moreland - March 12, 2010
Foul per minute the key
Pena plays like 10 minutes and averages 4 fouls
JGD - March 12, 2010
Hoyas in the League
Hibbert putting up some nice fouls/minute.
Really have to hope Nikita can make it to the League to shatter the record
itsallthatmatters - March 12, 2010
Before yesterday, Hollis Thompson was the 6th man on that squad.
Chris Haines - March 12, 2010
Then he took over the SF spot on clutch free throw shooters
Which includes Nick Anderson and some other people

Cnnsi has us as a #3 already

Completely pointless but that is a very favorable bracket for us. KU only one that I would worry about.

I don’t want to see Kentucky

I'm not on the damn team
I will wildly speculate as I please
JGD - March 12, 2010
Kentucky
I’ve never met either JWall or DeMarcus Cousins but is there even a possibility that either of them have been inside a classroom in the last 3 weeks?
Is there any way to justify the NCAA not shutting that program down?
itsallthatmatters - March 12, 2010
Doubtful
Very doubtful.
Cousins looks like he doesn’t know how to read.
JGD - March 12, 2010
i thought the same of you when i met you last weekend
at least cousins can dunk.
CasualHoya - March 12, 2010

CasualHoya a Teddy Bear in person, dont let his blog personality fool you.
JGD - March 12, 2010
What is my record?
I am apparently 16-11 after blowing the USF game and nailing the Hoyas with all those points against Cuse. Lesson? DO NOT PICK AGAINST THE HOYAS. I am taking GEORGETOWN -3.

New to the Casual Hoya
But the title says it all…We need to get some revenge for that loss they gave us earlier in the year..We win this one and i have no doubt we’ll take the Big East tourney title thus improving our seeding in the tournament..1st things 1st beat Marquette and beat them convincingly, although i will take a 1 point win just the same lol
EmmCeee - March 12, 2010
Also of note...
AnonymousEagle is having a poll to see who wins the game tonight… I recommend everyone casually head over and show them the GLOBAL PHENOMENON in action

Journalism
Just spoke with OldHoya – he’s penning a letter to Sally Jenkins. He didn’t like yesterday’s article and is asking her never to write about the Hoyas again.
Is OldHoya losing it as he gets on in years or is this justified?
itsallthatmatters - March 12, 2010
the best part
is that he’s probably actually using a pen.

They got bored lazy Greg last game, somehow I think they’ll get the new one tonight.

Never post while you are on the phone with a client. Even if he is also a Hoya.
Edit: If he likes Lego’s that much, maybe we should chip in and build a Lego Healy building for the team.

Only downer was at the end when ESPN ran some gratuitous footage of the ‘85 NCAA final against the coke fiends. Just because Rollie was in the building along with JT2 – we weren’t even playing Nova! Will ESPN EVER show the Hoyas in conjunction with the ’84 game? Or do we just need to win the whole thing again?
Whatever. I love these guys.

Does anyone know if Huggins has graduated any of his WVU players? I know he had a perfect 0-fer record for Cinci players earning diplomas, just wondering if he’s been able to maintain such levels of excellence in Morgantown.
