Predictions IN HAIKU after The Jump:
Welcome back to another edition of the award winning, hard hitting, Earth shaking, love making, Viagra taking Casual Investigation series! Today, we're tackling an important question that has been on the minds of the Hoya faithful for quite some time: When is Georgetown's home game against Memphis this season?
Last year, the Hoyas traveled to Memphis and defeated the Tigers at the FedEx forum on December 23rd, 2010, closing its non-conference schedule on a high note. This season the Hoyas get to host the Tigers in the second game of the home and home series, even though the two teams might also square off in Maui where they are both part of the 2011 Maui Invitational field.
When's the damn game after The Jump:
Georgetown's early departure from the NCAA Tournament has put a wet blanket on what was supposed to be a joyous run through March, but it hasn't stopped THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON from continuing its award-winning Casual Investigation series. Today, we're tackling a topic that has been talked about ad nauseam among those who think they know stuff about college hoops (i.e. we, the united kingdom of bloggers): the state of the Big East in the wake of its poor performance in the Tournament in the past few seasons.
Feel Free to Create One of These for EVERY DAMN BIG EAST TEAM

The best thing about SB Nation is that there are a lot of other writers a lot less depressed than I currently am to fully cover the state of the Big East, so I'm, leaning on them a bit to tell the tale. Here is the story, so far. As you know by now and have heard Charles Barkley tell you, the Big East received a record number 11 bids to the NCAA Tournament and fell flat on its face after the first week of action, with only two teams advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. This can only lead one of two conclusions: the Big East either sucks or is unlucky. SBN Blogs The Smoking Musket and The UConn Blog have opposing views on the unfolding crisis and went to battle on the topic.

Though it is difficult to top an interview with a former President of the United States of America, it is nonetheless imperative that we move on and tackle yet another Casual Investigation! Our hard-hitting series that has changed the face of America! First, we utilized scientific medical studies to determine with precision when exactly Chris Wright would be able to return to action. Then, we exposed and brought national shame to four AP voters that failed to rank Georgetown on their ballots. Next, we saddled up the male cheerleader for searing insight into the male cheerleading travesty at Louisville. And now, we bring you the epic fourth installment, where we examine which team Georgetown fans should be rooting for to win tonight's play-in game between USC and VCU!

Dishing great insight and uncovering national treasures after The Jump:
Big East conference play winds up this weekend, and the determination of Georgetown's seed in the Big East Tournament seems to be rather simple: If Georgetown beats Cincinnati and Louisville beats West Virginia, Georgetown will get the #6 seed. The #6 seed means the awesome 9pm games and fun for everyone involved. But Louisville might not be in the position it is in if it hadn't beaten Pitt last week, and as you likely have heard by now that game's result may have changed due to the actions of a Louisville male cheerleader! This hard-hitting Casual Investigation will bring you into the world of male cheerleading and reveal what a former Georgetown male cheerleader thinks about the incident! Amazing!
To refresh your recollection, please see the below, and focus on the actions of the male cheerleader with very little time left on the clock.
Casual Investigation after The Jump:
DAVE BORGES. KEVIN MCNAMARA. LINDSEY WILLHITE. RYAN THORBURN.
The names listed above are likely unfamiliar to you. Yet they are the names of very powerful people. People who have a duty each and every week that ultimately determines the weekly ranking of our beloved basketball team. People, who hold the fate of an entire University in their very hands.
The Georgetown Hoyas dropped from 11th to 17th in this week's AP Poll, a result not surprising after two losses at home to Cincinnati and Syracuse. However, a closer look into the rankings reveals a deeper concern, which is that these four writers who are trusted with submitting their ballots decided to not rank Georgetown AT ALL.
DAVE BORGES. KEVIN MCNAMARA. LINDSEY WILLHITE. RYAN THORBURN.
Who Are They? after The Jump:
Like all Hoya fans we have had difficulty sleeping, eating, and generally doing anything productive today, waiting to hear news on Chris Wright's broken left hand. How bad is the injury? Will Wright be able to recover? Will Wright be able to play again this season? Can he be effective if he does play? This morning good news came in the form of a tweet by Washington Post Hoyas beat writer Tarik El-Bashir, who relayed that Wright had surgery on the third metacarpal on his left hand this morning and that the team expects his return this season. THIS SEASON. Huge! But what does that really mean?

To find out just how long the recovery time from this sort of surgery takes, we asked two sources for help:
Source A: A well-respected orthopedic surgeon at a well-respected hospital in a well-respected city whose clients include members of various well-respected sports teams on which he has performed similar well-respected hand surgeries.
Source B: Our good friend Anonymous Eagle over at that funky Marquette blog, who back in 2009 had a similar incident occur to Dominic James, that pesky guard who haunted my dreams for years.
