WASHINGTON -- Well, this is a surprise.
Villanova leads Georgetown at halftime, 29-28, although I'm not sure the Wildcats really had much to do with it.
Well, Scottie Reynolds did, but I'm not sure about the rest. Much to the annoyance of the Georgetown students behind me, Reynolds scored 15 points on 5-for-7 shooting, including 2-for-2 from three-point range and 3-for-5 from the free throw line.
But consider this for Georgetown, and to be quite honest it had far more to do with the Hoyas themselves than Villanova's defense.
Georgetown shot 9-for-25 from the field (36.0%), including a ghastly 3-for-12 from 3-point range (25.0%) and 6-for-13 from 2-point range (46.2%), and 7-for-11 from the free throw line.
A lot of those shots were open looks, too.
Four offensive rebounds, 15 defensive rebounds, six assists ,seven rebounds, two blocks, two assists, two steals and 12 fouls committed.
That adds up to 33 possessions and 0.872 points per possession.
For Villanova: A slightly, but not much better, 10-for-26 from the line (38.5%), including 3-for-10 from 3-point range (30.0%) and 7-for-16 from 2-point range (43.8%), and 6-for-9 from the free throw line (66.7%). Four offensive rebounds, 15 defensive rebounds, six assists, seven turnovers, two blocks, two steals and 12 fouls committed.
That adds up to 34 possessions and 0.818 points per possession.
And now here we are four minutes into the half and it's 31-30, with the only field goal of the half so far a Dwayne Anderson slam ten seconds in. Georgetown's points came from two Roy Hibbert free throws just now.
Yikes.

What is up with Malcolm Grant sitting on the bench recently? Is he going to transfer?
