While Wednesday night's opening-round games of the BIG EAST Tournament perhaps lacked a bit of the cache that Thursday's quarterfinals and the rest of this week's Garden gathering certainly will possess, the doubleheader did present an opportunity to see a pair of BIG EAST stars in what could have been making their final appearances on the Garden's big stage. In what will go down as a disappointing season for Georgetown this year – unless the Hoyas run the table at the Garden this weekend - it meant D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, the Hoyas' ultra-talented senior guard, was just one upset loss to DePaul away from calling it a career with the Hoyas.
