SU Visits Hoyas Tonight

SU-Georgetown writes another chapter tonight at Verizon Center (7:30 p.m., ESPN2, I'll be there). One of college basketball's greatest rivalries is part of the best conference in the country. This also is the beginning of a brutal stretch for the Orange that also includes Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Louisville.

Jonny Flynn continues to lead SU with 16.4 points per game, but the Orange have five regulars averaging double figures and are getting 8.3 rebounds per game from Paul Harris and 7.8 from Arinze Onuaku. Uncharacteristically for the Hoyas, their leading rebounder (Greg Monroe) only is averaging 6.3 boards per game, while their leading scorer (DaJuan Summers) is at 14.7. The Hoyas aren't very deep, either.

SU's won eight of the last 10 meetings between the longtime rivals, but the Hoyas captured the last meeting in D.C., 64-62.
