We’ve been going over some facts about the 1984 National Championship team that every Hoya fan should know. In preparation for tomorrow afternoon’s celebration honoring that team, we’ve already told you about Coach JT2, the 3 Championships, the SMU game that was Too Close for Comfort, and the semifinal which proved Defense Wins Championships. We promised you five things, and here is the last one.

Player of the Game

In 1984 Patrick Ewing was the most imposing player in the country, the best defender in the country, and the best player on the Hoyas. However, Ewing did not lead Georgetown in scoring in the National Championship game. On that Monday night 25 years ago, it was freshman Reggie Williams who poured in 19 points on 9-18 from the field (no 3-pt line in 1984) and collected seven rebounds. Reggie cemented his place in NCAA history, and he foreshadowed his remarkable success at Georgetown. Reggie Williams remains the third all-time leading scorer in Georgetown Basketball history, behind only Eric “Sleepy” Floyd and Patrick Ewing.
