GAME THREAD: #11 Georgetown vs. #2 Connecticut in Big East Tournament

What’s the danger?

We have now entered the “play with house money” portion of the tournament. Some would say the House money affair started last night against Villanova, but I don’t say that about the Wildcats.

Now, before we continue, please allow yourself to enjoy this moment. In the past ten years or so, there have not been many such people.

Now enter the game. Georgetown is a huge underdog, having lost 12 straight games to UConn.

What happened with the Hoyas was that with KJ Lewis trailing, everyone stepped up. Kevon Mulready has become a sharpshooter. Jeremiah Williams is the point guard Ed Cooley has needed all season. Vince Iwuchukwu and Julius Halaifonua took turns dominating the penalty area. Malik Mack always shines in the big moments, while Caleb Williams continues to be consistent. One must also consider that Georgetown has played tight ends against UConn in both games thus far – losing by 2 and 4 points, respectively.

Georgetown is 40 minutes away from an NCAA tournament berth. That’s pretty much all one could ask for, considering how this season is going.
