A Roy Hibbert 3-pointer, just the 2nd of his career, with 4.2 seconds left in the game gave the #8 Georgetown Hoyas the 72-69 victory over the UConn Huskies in front of a packed house at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. UConn had a chance to tie the game but Jerome Dyson lost the handle on the inbounds pass from Jeff Adrien to end the game.
UConn had been up 67-61 before two Georgetown 3-pointers tied the game up. The Huskies went back up by 2 points before the Hoyas tied it up again, setting the stage for Hibbert’s 3-pointer.
UConn (11-4, 2-2 Big East) was coached today by associate head coach George Blaney as head coach Jim Calhoun was too ill to join the team on the bench. It was the first time since 2003, he had missed a game.
Georgetown (13-1, 3-0) was led by Hibbert with 20 points and 8 rebounds. DaJuan Summers added 14 points, Austin Freeman had 13 points and Patrick Ewing, Jr. chipped in 12 points for the victorious Hoyas.
Adrien led the way for the Huskies with 18 points. A.J. Price added 16 points despite being 3-of-11 from the floor. Doug Wiggins came of the bench to score 15 points and pull down 7 rebounds.
UConn had fallen behind by as many as 9 points in the first half before closing out the half on an 7-2 run to go in the locker room trailing 42-38.
The Huskies are off until Thursday night when the Providence Friars come to the XL Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 PM and the game will be televised locally on MyTV9.

According to a report in the 
Gagne is expected to issue the statement before spring training and then not make any further comments on the issue again. The Brewers must be glad that he isn’t going to the fan event where he’d certainly be bombarded with questions from the media and the fans alike. By issuing a statement prior to training camp he can effectively avoid it for the foreseeable future.
Before all of this mess with the Mitchell Report happened, Roger Clemens had planned to play in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic from January 16th to 20th. Then he found out he was included in the Mitchell Report and had to go on the defensive.
On a night when the team never really seemed to have it and were playing without Ray Allen and Glenn Davis, they had 17 turnovers in helping give the game to Charlotte. It was Boston’s 4th loss of the season against 29 wins. Charlotte improved to 13-21.
Everyone either has a friend or knows of someone who is always scheming to try to invent something or make something better. Whether it’s Uncle Joe who blew up the family car trying to boost it’s power by using rocket fuel, your neighbor who had the bright idea to make his vaccuum do the walking thing like that robot vac only to have it suck up the family cat or Tim Taylor from “Tool Time” trying to give things “more power” generally these idea’s are not very good and lead to destruction of property or body parts.
