Georgetown took out Big East rival Syracuse 88-74 Wednesday. The Hoyas were led by DaJuan Summers, who had 21, and Austin Freeman, helped out with 19. Greg Munroe filled the stat sheet very nicely for a center, with 10 point, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Eric Devendorf came off the bench with 20 for the Orangemen.
Much props should go to Georgetown coach John Thompson III. The #12 Hoyas are off to a 12-3 start, and have made a steady resurgence to Powerhouse status over the past 5 years. In his 4 1/2 seasons at G'town, JT3 has a record of 48-23, and has brought in 7 Top-50 recruits in that time, including Darrell Summers, Austin Freeman, Chris Wright, and Greg Munroe, and has 6-6 Hollis Thompson, from Concord, CA on board for next year. In addition, Thompson III took the Hoyas the 2007 Final Four. The Hoyas were 35-45 in the 5 seasons between JT3's arrival and his father, John Thompson, Jr.'s exit. He's done an amazing job turning this program around, and his deliberate Princeton offense will keep the Hoya's dominant for years.
Also, Duke beat Georgia Tech Wednesday night 70-56. Shout out to Shump, he had 9 points and 4 boards for the Yellow jackets, who also got 13 from Zack Peacock. Gerald Henderson and Kyle Singler had 19 apiece for the Blue Devils.
Prior to the game, Georgia Tech signed Derrick Favors, the nation's #4 high school recruit, according to Rivals.com.
And Steph Curry had 39 in Davidson's win over Elon.
