I think that is a good strategy.
I was working late and watching the game, so I missed some of it. But what impressed me is that Georgetown really got into NC's heads the last five minutes of the regular time. Into the overtime, Hansbrough didn't know if he was Arthur or Martha, and on close-ups you could see that he was beaten--very wide-eyed and shaking his head.
I think that may have happened because NC went cold from the outside and then tried to push everything into the paint.
In our last two games, I think we need to find the same balance we had in the second half in our last game. The three-ball opens up all kinds of stuff inside and will force Hibbert and Ewing to foul.

Georgetown earns trip to Final Four
BEN WALKER
Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - John Thompson III and Patrick Ewing Jr. could only hope, the same way their dads did a generation ago. On this night, it was different. A North Carolina freshman missed.
Twenty-five years later, Georgetown had gotten even.
In an NCAA tournament full of incredible rallies, it was the Hoyas' turn. They rallied from 11 down in the second half, then ripped off 14 straight points in overtime to stun the top-seeded Tar Heels 96-84 in the East Regional final Sunday.

Column: Son follows dad to Final Four
JIM LITKE
AP Sports Columnist
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The old man wrapped him up in a bear hug and cradled his son's head in his hands, his long fingers trembling ever so slightly.
John Thompson waited a lifetime for this day. But almost as quick as the hug was strong, he let go of his namesake.
"You've been complaining about the bus being rickety," he said a few moments later, making that familiar bass voice sound menacing. Pause.
"But the ride home," Thompson added, smiling widely, "is going to be good tonight."

Hoyas earn some sweet retribution
Monday, March 26, 2007Ben Walker
Associated Press
East Rutherford, N.J. -- Twenty-five years later, Georgetown got even for a coach named Thompson and a player named Ewing.
In an NCAA Tournament full of tremendous rallies, it was the Hoyas' turn -- against North Carolina, of all teams.
Georgetown overcame an 11-point deficit in the second half, then ripped off 14 straight points in overtime to stun the top-seeded Tar Heels, 96-84, in the East Regional final Sunday. The Hoyas are headed to the Final Four for the first time since 1985, when the coach was John Thompson Jr. and the star was Patrick Ewing.

Hoyas surge into Final Four
Tar Heels' 10-point lead fails to stand up
By MIKE KNOBLER
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 03/26/07 East Rutherford, N.J. ? Patrick Ewing Jr. needed something more than the usual trappings of an NCAA regional title celebration.
Championship cap? Check.
Strand of net tucked under that cap? Check.
Championship T-shirt? Check.
Box of Kleenex? Huh?
Yes, there it was, on the floor at Ewing's feet in the Georgetown locker room, all the evidence you needed to see how much the Hoyas' 96-84 overtime victory over North Carolina meant. A 6-foot-8, 238-pound man tough enough to grab the game's biggest rebound was moved to tears.

Elder Thompson excited for son

East Rutherford, N.J. ? When overtime started, the NCAA radio analyst said he ?went numb.?
With five seconds left, he started clapping and looked across the court to Georgetown?s bench. As time elapsed, he smiled and pointed at his son.
You want objectivity on a broadcast? Don?t pick a coach?s father. Don?t pick John Thompson. Not when the program he built and the son he raised are trying to make it to the Final Four. Not when Georgetown is playing North Carolina. Not when the Hoyas are trying to exorcise some ghosts from 25 years earlier.

Little John's Hoyas do it up big -- their way
March 26, 2007
BY JAY MARIOTTI Sun-Times Columnist
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. --He had seen the picture before, as a teenager, when he watched a North Carolina freshman take a jumper in the waning seconds of a March classic. But this time John Thompson III wasn't witnessing the birth of a legend, as he had in 1982 while sitting near his famous coaching father behind the Georgetown bench, not far from where Mike (not yet Michael) Jordan buried a 17-foot jumper from the corner in the Superdome. This time, a quarter-century later in the Meadowlands, it was Wayne Ellington launching the jumper that would have given Carolina the victory. And unlike Jordan, he missed, part of a 1-for-23 shooting crash by the Tar Heels during a ghastly freefall Sunday. It forced an overtime period in which Young John and the Hoyas, in thorough control after overcoming an 11-point hole, toppled the Carolina Blue mystique the way his father's team could not.

mike golic (mike & mike) will get tasered if ohio state loses to georgetown, per their "sheet of integrity" wager. based on how their sheets have worked out, the ucla/florida game and even the national championship game are irrelevant. greenberg, on the other hand, will have to milk a cow if osu wins.
milking a cow versus a tasering? please. a domer becomes a buckeye this week.

Todd Jones commentary: Hoyas' revival isn't just hype; Buckeyes will have their hands full
Monday, March 26, 2007 3:31 AM
By todd jones
Greg Oden wasn't born the last time Georgetown was in the Final Four, and the shot-swatting man-child wasn't on Ohio State's team one year ago when the Hoyas gave the Buckeyes their worst NCAA Tournament loss ever. The past provides perspective, but not always relevance.
Expect a time machine to be cranked up this week as Ohio State's matchup with Georgetown, in its first Final Four since 1985, is adorned with the prerequisite hype.

I wish we didn't have to worry about which big man will get into foul trouble first. I would much rather they let the big men play big. I am tired of sitting on needles every time the ball goes in Greg's vicinity. Let the 7 footers bang a little.
