Georgetown-West Virginia coming up

NEW YORK, N.Y. - We're getting ready for the first semifinal tonight between Georgetown and West Virginia.

Last night, the Hoyas hit 17 three pointers in the win over Villlanova, and they needed to because they got nothing at all from Roy Hibbert. I expect we'll see fewer threes and more Roy tonight, if only because otherwise seems impossible.

West Virginia has been led in this tournament by Joe Alexander. Alexander has 56 points in the first two games of the tournament for the Mountaineers. He has scored a lot of his points from about 15 feet. It will be interesting to see if Hibbert goes out and challenges those shots to try and slow him down.

I got to meet Big John Thompson before the game. I had been on the radio with him last week. When I shook his hand, his swallowed mine up. They don't call him Big John for nothing.
