Hoyas build resume once again
The Georgetown Hoyas pounded the Pitt Panthers 65-42 in route to their first Big East title since 1989. Jeff Green led all Hoyas once again scoring 21 while Roy Hibbert scored 18 and had 11 boards to help the Gtown boy's claim their place in history. But more importantly for Hibbert, he turned Pitt's big man, Aaron Gray into a spectator, he only had 3 points. Of Hibberts 11 boards 9 of them were on the defensive side of the ball, keeping Gray at bay. The Panthers only hit 19 of their shots from the field (not including free throws) and if they want to go anywhere in the dance they need to improve on this immediately. The Panthers could probably get a 4 but they might slip as low as 6 with this embarrassing loss. The Hoyas were down only once, when Mike Cook had the opening lay up fall in. The Hoyas used a 15-2 run halfway through the first half to build their lead and distance themselves from the Panthers. Sam Young had 10 points for the Panthers while Keith Benjamin had 6 rebounds. Levon Kendall and Gray were kept to minimum levels as the Hoya defense contained and trapped them all game long. The Hoyas fans chanted "6 more wins" at the end of the game, to try and propel the Hoyas to their first National Title since 1985.
