If there's one thing this Big East Women's Basketball Tournament has been lacking, it's upsets. Fear no longer, because the Georgetown Hoyas are tearing up brackets in Chicago! Coming into the contest with Villanova, the Hoyas were the 6 seed playing against a 3 seed. For much of the game, the Wildcats were ahead, entering halftime 7 points up on Georgetown. Alex Louin was indeed a key contributor, scoring 13 points. Kelly Jekot scored 8 points, and Mary Gedaka and Adrianna Hahn scored 12 points each. Even though Villanova led for the great majority of the game, the Hoyas refused to give up, hanging on to finally overtake Villanova in the 4th quarter. Dionna White was indeed a factor, scoring 20 points. Mikayla Venson added 9 more points. But boy oh boy, Cynthia Petke! She made us all look bad. Villanova for torching them for 24 points, and me for not including her in my pregame analysis. I don't think she'll be overlooked again. The Hoyas advance to face DePaul tomorrow in the semifinals, Georgetown's first time making it this far since 1999. In my book, this was the most engaging game of the Tournament so far, which bodes well for future action.
