If you were playing Georgetown and were told Roy Hibbert would go scoreless and post 4 turnovers over 14 minutes before fouling out--you'd take it in a heartbeat, wouldn't you?
Well, how about a Big East Tournament record 17 three pointers? The Hoyas hit 61% from outside the arc in their 82-63 win over Villanova--and held Scottie Reynolds to 13 points (he scored 24 in the regular season matchup) on 3-for-9 shooting. Despite Hibbert and backup big man Vernon Macklin both fouling out, John Thompson III's team still outrebounded the Wildcats by five. Patrick Ewing Jr. shined off the bench (7 points, 9 boards and 7 assists) and Georgetown moved the ball as well as they have all year--posting 25 assists in 28 field goals.
Next up for the Hoyas? Fifth seeded West Virginia--Georgetown prevailed in the regular season matchup when Patrick Ewing Jr. blocked a shot at the buzzer.
