Tiger alumni, the battle with University of Pikeville this year just got a little more interesting. The schools will do an alumni challenge, seeing which alumni group can donate more than the other. Help GC take top honors in donating, and then come Thursday, Feb. 2 to root on our men's and women's teams to win the competition on the hardwood as well. What follows is the information on the alumni competition with links on donating. GO TIGERS!

Georgetown College men knew the out-of-conference game with West Virginia Tech would not be what it has been in the past. The future NAIA independent school pulled out of the Mid-South Conference this season, but had the Golden Bears (13-6) remained, they would be sitting in second place with a 7-2 record at the end of the first half of league play.

The No. 6 Tigers (17-3) took care of business, though, using a 29-14 run for a 21-point lead midway through the second half. WVT made a run, getting as close as six late before GC took control again to win 93-81.

"We knew it was going to be a great game tonight," said GC head coach Chris Briggs. "Tech has beaten Lindsey Wilson, St. Catharine and Pikeville, all ranked teams, thus far this season. If this team were still in our conference it would be in a tie for second place with Lindsey."

Georgetown College women's basketball team has not struggled to score this season, averaging 73.5 points. But, the No. 18 Tigers (14-6) have not always been the sharpest of shooters. Coming into this week's home games, Georgetown was hitting about 23 shots per game. The team hit roughly 37 shots in each of this week's games of onslaught wins.

GC followed up its 33-point shooting clinic over University of Rio Grande, which has been receiving votes in the national poll, with a 96-46 win over West Virginia Tech (6-15) on Saturday.

"Coming off back-to-back losses and our first losses in the conference this past week, this is what we needed to do," said Tiger head coach Andrea McCloskey. "We have to win the ones we should and a pair of home games are just that."

Georgetown College men's basketball team used an 80-foot buzzer-beater for fuel in refocusing them for this week's home Mid-South Conference games. While the University of Rio Grande matchup was at times slower and not pretty, the final result is exactly what GC coach Chris Briggs wanted an 88-57 win.

Georgetown College women's basketball team was ready to erase the two-game road skid of a week ago. The No. 18 Tigers did just that Thursday at home against University of Rio Grande. They blistered the nets in a 24-2 run to start the game and broke triple digits for the first time this season.

Andrea Howard scored 22 points, while birthday girl Jessica Waddle notched 19 in a 103-70 win over the RedStorm.
