2/19: It's the battle for 2nd place! #2 Georgetown, 25-3, 10-3, is here; we're ranked #3. We beat them at their place by 6. They're a slight favorite. They're 5-3 vs. Ranked teams. On the stat sheet it looks pretty even.
Doesn't look like anyone's going to catch Xavier and the 4th place team is 4 back of us, so this one will likely decide who ends up 2nd in the Big East and who ends up 3rd.
2/20: Back and forth. Down 5 after 10. Tied at the half. 11 for Thom8 fewer TOs, 8 more points in the paint, +7 from the line, but we're shooting 35.3% to their 60%. We've taken 9 more shots. We need to tighten up the D. Up 2 with 10 to play; what a battle! Fans are loving it!
60-68. We had a bad minute and a half late and that did us in. Damn! Terrible shooting %, 31.9 to their 50%. 9 fewer TOs, 10 more in the paint. But you need to hit the shots.
18 for Thom, 10, 7, 2, 5 for Suli in his first game back.
Not a good loss.
