Georgetown Beats Duke In Front of President Barack Obama 89-77

Washington D. C.

From the opening jump ball between these two perennial powerhouses the Georgetown Hoyas proved on this day that they were the better coached team and they played with more intensity than the Duke Blue Devils.
The Hoyas did not let on the gas as they put a lot pressure on the Duke back court which cause numerous turnovers.
Plus the fact that the Hoyas shot an unbelievable 72 per cent from the field while the Blue Devils struggled to find their rhythm and the Hoyas simply outplayed the Blue Devils in all facets of the game.
It appears as though Duke got all of the calls and if Georgetown player even looked at a Duke player the wrong way Duke went to the free throw line.
One of President Obama's advisers, David Axlerod was also in attendance at the game and Axlerod should have been advising coach K on how to shut down Monroe and the other Hoyas who enjoyed their best shooting game of the season. The Hoyas got a little sloppy at the end of game and Duke made key buckets that made the game appear close but it was really a blowout victory for coach John Thompson III and his Hoyas.
Georgetown and Duke might meet up again this season in the Sweet Sixteen and coach K's boys will be bringing it on all fronts. Can coach John Thompson III do the impossible and beat Duke twice in one season?
Duke and Georgetown used their game to launch an initiative to raise money for children in the Refugee camps in the Darfur region of Sudan.
