with all five Hoya starters scoring in double digits: Jeff Green had 22 points and nine rebounds, DaJuan Summers had 20 points and six rebounds, Jonathan Wallace scored 19, Jessie Sapp contributed 15, and Roy Hibbert had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. The Hoyas, winners of 19 of their last 20 games, advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1985 to meet No. 1 Ohio State, winner of 21 straight. The game featured a much-anticipated match-up of elite college centers – Ohio State's Greg Oden and Georgetown's Roy Hibbert – and during the game Oden had 13 points and nine rebounds, while Hibbert scored 19 points and pulled down six rebounds. But both centers got into early foul trouble and spent a great deal of time on the bench, with Oden playing for only three minutes in the first half and for only 20 in the game, while Hibbert played for only 24 minutes. Ohio State took better advantage of Hibbert's absences than Georgetown did of Oden's. Jonathan Wallace scored 19 points, Jessie Sapp contributed 10 points, and Jeff Green grabbed 12 rebounds, but Green – who entered the game averaging 15.8 points per game during the tournament – scored only nine points, going almost 17 minutes in the first half and 14 minutes in the second half without taking a shot. DaJuan Summers, who had scored 25 points in the previous two games, managed only three against the Buckeyes, and the Georgetown bench did not score a single point. Ohio State outrebounded the Hoyas 37-30 and scored 22 points off 14 Hoya turnovers. When Oden went to the bench with two fouls only three minutes into the game, not to return until the second half, Georgetown was leading 5-3, but the Buckeyes then went on an 11-2 run over the next six minutes to take a 14-7 lead. Thanks to Hibbert's work inside, Georgetown closed to a 15-14 deficit, but then Hibbert had to sit with two fouls, and Ohio State extended its lead to 25-17 with 3:32 left in the first half. Leading 27-23 at halftime, Ohio State trailed only once more, at 34-33 with 15:56 left in the game. The score was tied 44-44 with 9:44 left in the game, but Hibbert had to sit with four fouls only 20 seconds later, and Oden then helped the Buckeyes jump out to
