Hoyas hope winning ways return

January 31, 2015 - This week was rough for John Thompson III and his Georgetown Hoyas; after re-entering the national Top 25 at 21/22, they fell hard to Xavier at Verizon Center. The loss ended a four game winning streak and brought their record to 14-6 overall, 6-3 in the BIG EAST. As of right now, G'Town is third in the league.

Today at 2p EST, Georgetown's next challenge presents itself in the form of Creighton's Bluejays. The game will be held at CU's out of control home court, Century Link Center. We have tickets.

CBS Sports Network has the TV broadcast, while WTEM 980 is home to Rich Chvotkin's radio call. Not to be undone on that medium, Tim Krueger's Overtime post-game show on 1620 The Zone is a must listen for fans of both programs.

Creighton (10-12, 1-8) defeated St. John's this week for its first league win. The Bluejays, coached by Greg McDermott utilize an offensive attack based on spread spacing and three point shooting.

"They got a big win against St. John's. They got up a lot of threes. So we know that's what they like to do" said senior guard/forward Jabril Trawick yesterday.

Of note should be the Hoyas' periodic trouble tracking long ball shooters this season. Addressing that, Trawick shared "We have to chase them off the three point line", also understanding "They've got some bigs that like to get some pick and pop situations as well".
