The Georgetown Hoyas predictably destroyed the DePaul Blue Demons on Wednesday night to set up a rematch with Villanova on Thursday afternoon. Only an improbably Big East Tournament championship will save the Hoyas, while the Wildcats need a title to secure a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
When these teams last met, Villanova jumped all over Georgetown en route to a 84-71 win to complete a season sweep over their arch-rivals. John Thompson III may not be coaching for his job, but a win on Thursday afternoon and a continued BET run could go a long way to restoring confidence in his regime.
