The 8th-ranked Georgetown Hoyas defeated the 2nd-ranked Connecticut Huskies 74-63 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. Georgetown jumped out to a 15-1 lead as Greg Monroe electrified the Hoya offense with passing and shooting. UConn slowly chipped away at the lead throughout the rest of the first half and the start of the second, eventually getting to within 3 points several times until the 12:30 mark. From there, Georgetown used a 26-12 run to put the game away. DaJuan Summers led the Hoyas with 18 pts, and Monroe (16 pt), Chris Wright (16 pt) and Austin Freeman (14 pt) also reached double figure scoring. A.J. Price (16 pt), Jeff Adrian (15 pt) and freshman Kemba Walker (14 pt) paced the Huskies. Notes: - ESPN edited out a few minutes of game time from each half for the replay. - The last second of the game has gone missing. I don't think anything exciting is missed. - I've up-scaled this from a mediocre recording.

The 8th-seeded Georgetown Hoyas stunned the top-seeded, 3rd-ranked Syracuse Orange 91-84 in the Big East quarterfinals. The Hoyas, ranked 22nd coming into the game, trailed by as much as 8 points during the second half, before a 19-2 run put them firmly in control of the game. Chris Wright led the Hoyas with 27 points, with Austin Freeman (18 pt), Jason Clark (17 pt) and Greg Monroe (15 pt, 10 reb, 7 ast) also playing well. Wes Johnson scored 24 points for the Orange, who also had three additional double-digit scorers: Scoop Jardine (19), Kris Joseph (18) and Andy Rautins (14). Unfortunately, the game was marred by a knee injury suffered by Syracuse's Arinze Onuaku with 5 minutes left in the game. That injury would end the senior's college career.
The Georgetown Hoyas snuck out a 57-56 win in Morgantown versus the Mountaineers of West Virginia, despite trailing most of the game including a 10-point deficit in the second half. The game is most famous for Patrick Ewing Jr's block (or missed goaltend) at the final buzzer that preserved the win for the Hoyas, immediately after Jessie Sapp hit a 3-point shot to give the Hoyas their only lead of the second half. Sapp (15 pt) and Roy Hibbert (12 pt, 10 reb) were the only Hoyas in double-digit scoring. West Virginia were led by the trio of Darris Nichols (16 pts), Alex Ruoff (13 pts) and Da'Sean Butler (12 pts). The Mountaineers came up short at the end of each half, with a 3-point shot waived off at the end of the first half and then the blocked shot at the end of the game.
