When junior guard Austin Freeman scored 28 points in the second half to lead the Hoyas to an amazing comeback victory over Connecticut, it was a performance for the ages, one that deserved to be immortalized in song. Most would consider that slightly hyperbolic, but not Chris Tiongson (COL ’89).
It’s dark at the Rock and Roll Hotel—a grungy H St. club in the heart of the Atlas District and Rob Pierangeli, the front man of Casper Bangs, is urging the crowd to come closer to the stage.
