Considering that Georgetown had not won a game in the Big East tournament since 2001, it's easy to give Hoyas' coach Terri Williams-Flournoy for not being in a hurry to look ahead to Sunday's quarterfinal showdown against top-seeded, top-ranked and three-time defending champion UConn.

"We're staying in the moment," Williams-Flournoy said after Georgetown's 61-60 win over Syracuse, the Hoyas' first win in the Big East tournament since beating Syracuse in the first round in 2001.

The win set up a rematch against UConn as the teams met a week ago with Georgetown holding the Huskies to a season low 52 points but managing just 42 points themselves. For the first time all season, the Huskies had more turnovers (26) than baskets (14).

Williams-Flournoy is expecting a different UConn team

"We have to be ready for it," Williams-Flournoy said. "They are not going to turn the ball over as many times as they did and they aren't going to miss as many shots. I just hope that we make more shots than we did last time."

Just a few numbers worth chewing on comparing the two programs.

UConn's Maya Moore came into the Big East tournament with 134 career points in the event. Georgetown's active players have 128 points including 61 today.

UConn is bidding to make its 23rd straight appearance in the semifinals while Georgetown has made it to the semifinal four times in program history, the most recently coming in 1999.
