Georgetown Clinches Big East

The Hoyas have clinched at a minimum, a tie for the regular season Big East Championship. If Pitt loses to Marquette tonight, it will be outright. Regardless of the outcome of tonight's game, Georgetown will be going into the Big East Tournament as the #1 seed (technically they could be the #2 seed, but it would take way too long to explain and too many unexpected things would have to happen making it more along the lines of an infinite improbability drive).

Georgetown beat UConn 59-46 in an ugly game. Poor shooting for most of the game by both sides. The Huskies kept it close in the first half, but the Hoyas opened it up early in the second. Well, sort of, they kept scoring and UConn went over 5 minutes without a basket. At that point, even CBS had enough and switched most of the coverage to the Texas-Kansas game.

UConn finishes the Big East season 6-10 and an #11 seed going to the Big East Tournament. They aren't even a lock for the NIT at this point. Freshman Center Hasheem Thabeet did little to justify any talk of him going pro after only one season. He had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers. He was completely dominated by Georgetown's Junior Center Roy Hibbert (18 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 steals, 2 assists and 1 turnover).
