Is Beast of the East best of the rest?


No final answer yet but boy, what a blow-out by Georgetown’s mens basketball team of UConn today.

What I didn’t know until I read the game recap was that Patrick Ewing’s kid, Patrick Ewing, Jr., is old enough to be at Georgetown as a student – and has been for a while, duh. You cannot imagine how old that makes me feel.

NB: I really hate how the elder Ewing’s Wikipedia entry writes, “until Freddie Brown choked.” Poor Freddy. Let me tell you – he was and probably still is one of the nicest guys I ever knew at Georgetown. We were both sociology majors, and in a department with only eleven students in its major, you get to know each other. I didn’t know Freddy really well, but it’s hard to understand how that one moment – which, I agree, was and remains a pretty major moment in NCAA basketball history (and I was there to see it and cry and lose my voice over it) – can define a man for the rest of his life in some annals.
