Endgame highlights (higher res. version here)




This Friday in the Meadowlands, the Hoyas will face Vanderbilt, who upset Washington St. in a double-overtime thriller.

Vanderbilt and Georgetown have already played this year, way back in November. The Hoyas were able to win that game convincingly, but that performance won't necessarily translate into a repeat on Friday:

• The game was a statistical anomaly for G'town this season, as previously noted (scroll down). It was Vanderbilt's first game of the season, and Georgetown's second.
  
• Perhaps the biggest key in that game was Marc Egerson's defense against Shan Foster, holding him without a field goal.

More post-game analysis tomorrow; a look ahead at Vanderbilt later this week.
