Can Georgetown Spell "Detente...?" Apparently They Forgot...

Duke and Georgetown are over in mainland China making sure the rest of the world knows the value of the average college basketball player...

What the Hoyas may have forgotten was this was supposed to be a good will mission for all mankind without bloodshed or deportation...

In their game with the Bayi Rockets, the home team had 57 free throws versus the Hoyas 15. With the game tied at 64 in the fourth quarter, this is what happened...
((HT: blacksun73))


Head coach John Thompson III pulled his team off the floor...

"Tonight, two great teams played a very competitive game that unfortunately ended after heated exchanges with both teams,"
Thompson said in a statement. "We sincerely regret that this situation occurred.

"We remain grateful for the opportunity our student-athletes are having to engage in a sport they love here in China, while strengthening their understanding of a nation we respect and admire at Georgetown University."

Now, watch... the Chinese government will say something under-handed about the American game...

It's coming...
