Warriors look to Ring Out Ahoya on the Hoyas

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Tim Blair)



Buzz Williams was all smiles after yesterday's triumph over the Villanova Wildcats.  With the win his Warriors earned the right to play Friday night basketball at MSG in the Big East Tournament.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming back in October.

.....(crickets)......

The Warriors' remarkable season (22-10, 11-7) continues tonight at the World's Most Famous Arena when they hit the court to take on the Georgetown Hoyas (22-9, 10-8).  Tonight's Jesuit Jam is a revenge game for the Washington, D.C-based disciples of St. Ignatius Loyola, who fell to Father Jacques Marquette's crew 62-59 in January.

Tipoff is scheduled for 6pm Marquette Standard Time on ESPN.
