There is some pretty exciting basketball that will be played tonight. I am not really talking about the NBA Celebrity Game, although that is pretty fun to watch. There is a huge matchup in the Big East. Georgetown will be taking on Cincinnati at the Bearcats' place. Cincy has won their last four meetings against the Hoyas. However, Georgetown has won 6 straight and is the hottest team in the Big East. They are tied with Syracuse and Marquette atop the Big East. Cincy is sitting at the #8 spot. The Bearcats have gone 3-3 in the last 6 games. Georgetown is 6-0 in the last six games. Sean Kilpatrick is Cincy's leading scorer. He has the ability to get hot very quickly. Georgetown will be without Greg Whittington. Whittington is academically ineligible and has missed the last 10 games. Cincy will have the tough task of trying to stop Otto Porter. Porter is a Player of the Year candidate and has been the key to the Hoyas success. This will be a very close game, but I think that Georgetown will grind it out. Expect a low-scoring game. This G'town defense is arguably one of the best in the country.
