St John's v Georgetown

[UConnCat]

4pm start at McDonough arena and neither team is awake. Georgetown up 2-0 at the first media timeout.

 

[UConnCat]

It's now a barn-burner. Tied up at 17 with about 5 mins left in the 1st half. SJU shooting about 31% and Georgetown shooting 21%.

close, low scoring game. i still can't believe that a SJU win gives them the 2 seed in the BET should UCONN Lose to ND (is that correct?).... when was the last time UCONN was seeded 3rd or lower in the BET??

I'm gonna guess 2003 or 2004

mini-run by GTown to go up 25-18

One would hope that if that painful scenario comes to pass, the team would be fired up and be out to really prove a point in the BET.

 

[UConnCat]

27-25 Hoyas at the Half. Slow start but the scoring picked up.

No TV, I assume?

Be still, my beating heart!

Be still, my beating heart!

Alas, looks like your heart will get beat. Saint John's leading by 4 with under 2 minutes left.

Final 54 -45 SJU wins.

 

[UConnCat]

SJU wins 54-45. Not surprising; SJU is the better team. Sugar shot 6-22.

So, with the win by SJ, will tonight's game affect the BE seedings?

yes. We lose, and we're the #3 seed. We win, and we're #2, but have hardware as co-BE champs. Either way, we're on track for a semifinals rematch with St Johns.

PERFECT!!!!!

 

[pap49cba]

Yep. Bring it on!!!

RU fans are rooting for you guys tonight. We want another match with St. John's.

WE'RE DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jk

 

[Samanthabrown3]

I'd hate to be the St. John's kids if there's a rematch with UConn. UConn will be out for blood.

 

[Kevin G]

We have to win tonight! I'm sure our girls are thinking of continuing the streak of regular season BE champs...even if it is co-champs

Per ESPN, Sugar shot 6-25. In my view, that is why Tiff and others should get BE and AA award consideration over Sugar. At 24% tonight and about 37% on the season, she is not efficient enough. Tiff shoots 53%, same as Skylar.
