Roy Hibbert and Jonathan Wallace had 15 points each in the Hoya’s win tonight at the Verizon Center. Sophomore guard Jeremiah Rivers also deserves credit for his stellar defensive play in the second half to save the Hoyas from their second Big East loss.

From an e-mail just sent out by the Lecture Fund:

Sunday, January 27 ^th at 5:00 pm, Gaston Hall

Hayden Panettiere, Heroes Actress & Grammy Award Nominee

“Save the Whales Again!”

Hayden Panettiere, better known as Claire Bennett from NBC’s Heroes, comes to campus this Sunday to give a lecture on behalf of the Animal Welfare Institute’s “Save the Whales Again!” campaign. Speech to be followed by a Q&A session, open to and including her environmental efforts, acting career, and getting out the youth vote.

RSVP info is conspicuously missing, which is troublesome because of the vast number of whale-lovers at Georgetown who would kill to get into an Animal Welfare Institute event. But seriously, this has got to be the greatest thing at Georgetown since Coolio or, um, Fran Drescher.

Update, 1/22 1:24 pm: Get there early, folks. The Lecture Fund sent me the following info: “Seating will be first-come, first-serve on Sunday. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.”
