Georgetown and South Florida did their best Big Ten imitation today but the Hoyas emerged victorious 69-49. That means that a sequel wasn't enough to kill the Hoya virus. This one's going to be a trilogy. And if the Scream movies taught me anything, it's that the third one always sucks.
No wait...it taught me all bets are off. Well, I guess they taught me both of those things.
While HoyaSuxa begins preparations for it's onslaught, let's remember that this just isn't about the 2009-2010 season. SU and Georgetown in the Big East Tournament is a damn-near institution.
The two conference heavyweights have split their 12 meetings in the Big East tournament.
The last meeting? A 58-57 win in the 2006 semis. You may remember it (1:58)
