2007-08 Year in Review

By Hoya Hoops

Over the next few weeks, we at Hoya Hoops are going to be looking back over the past season, highlighting each player’s season statistics and their best and worst moments. While the points per game and free throw percentages will be objective, the season highlights will be some of our favorites, so be sure to post what you think in the comments. Stay tuned.


March Madness

By Hoya Hoops

What a weekend of college basketball. The last two days wrapped up the regular season and started the post-season all at once, and we at Hoya Hoops are ready to ride the wave of March Madness as far as the Hoyas will take us - hopefully into April Madness or at the very least, a “Burger Madness” from Wisemiller’s. Now then, let’s get you filled in on what to expect from us over the next few days.

Countdown to Showdown

By Hoya Hoops

There are four days left until the Big East showdown at high noon on Saturday to crown the regular season champion. For the next four days we at Hoya Hoops will be getting everybody ready for what can easily be classified as the most important Georgetown game in the history of the Verizon Center.

As part of our four days of buildup, we will also be paying homage to the four Georgetown seniors who will be playing for the final time in front of the home crowd at Verizon Center - a crowd which has grown and improved as much as the program has over the past four seasons. Including their most recent dramatic victory against Marquette, the seniors have combined to do so much for the program:

  • They have scored 3,054 Points
  • Grabbed 1,375 Rebounds
  • Dished Out 639 Assists
  • And Earned 96 Wins.

We will begin our tribute with the 6′4″ guard from Stuarts Draft, VA - Tyler Crawford. Be sure to check back later to see what we have to say about Bam Bam.


The Inside Scoop

By Hoya Hoops

Starting with tonight’s game against Syracuse, we at Hoya Hoops are bringing you The Inside Scoop, a feature where some writers covering Georgetown’s rivals will be giving us a breakdown of their team’s strengths and weaknesses. In return, we’re writing up similar rundowns for the Hoyas, which will be posted on their sites.

As with all of our new features, feel free to give us some feedback. We know that it’s not always fun listening to positive press about Syracuse or Villanova, but we’re interested in what these writers have to say, and maybe it will give us some insight on how to break down their teams.


Hoya Rival Reels

By Hoya Hoops

For those of you who made it out to the Verizon Center for that thrilling victory against UCONN, you probably already know this, but we at Hoya Hoops are participating in this year’s edition of Hoya Rival Reels. If you’re outside the area, couldn’t make it to the game, or just want to see them again, we’ll be putting the videos up here for your further enjoyment. And even if our videos don’t always make it up to the big screen at the Verizon Center, you’ll always be able to find them here. Stay tuned.


Exam Week

By Hoya Hoops

Georgetown University is having exams this week, and because of that, we at Hoya Hoops thought it would be a good time to put our readers’ knowledge of Georgetown Basketball to the test.

This week we will be putting out five different exams covering varying topics ranging from important dates to classic Hoya tandems. Each exam will have five questions, and as the week goes on, the questions may become more difficult.

Email your responses to us at hoyahoops@hoyahoops.com, and the person with the best scores at the end of the week will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the Tombs.

Happy studying!

Ten Years in Ten Days

By Hoya Hoops

In honor of the ten year anniversary of the Hoyas playing at the Verizon Center, we at Hoya Hoops are going to be joining the celebration. We will be running a feature, Ten Years in Ten Days, in which over the next two weeks, we will be looking back at each of the past ten seasons, giving a brief recap of the good moments and the not so good ones.

Be sure to check it out.

Ten Years in Ten Days:
1997-98 | 1998-99 | 1999-00 | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03 | 2003-04 | 2004-05 | 2005-06 | 2006-07


New Season = New Features

By Hoya Hoops

With the start of the Georgetown Basketball season rapidly approaching, we at Hoya Hoops are introducing a few new features:

The first is a section some of you from the Hoya Talk boards might be familiar with. It is an online schedule of all Georgetown games with game times, locations, and radio/TV coverage. This calendar will continue to be updated as games occur to include scores and links to articles.

We are also introduction a section called, “Pregame Predictions“, where we’ll give everyone a chance to submit their own thoughts about the upcoming game.

Finally, we’ll be introducing a game day page, which will act as a one-stop shop for everything you need to know on the days that the Hoyas suit up. There will be links to the game previews, in-game threads, and post game recaps, box scores, and analysis.

So be sure to keep checking back throughout the season, and we’ll keep pumping out new stuff for you.


New Stuff

By Hoya Hoops

We at Hoya Hoops are happy to be introducing three new sections to our site.

  • The first, Numbers Up, will be written by Mike, our resident mathematician, where he will look at Georgetown Basketball from a mathematical point of view, analyzing trends from game stats and trying to glean some insight into potential weaknesses or strengths of the Hoyas.
  • Johnny will be providing Hoya Hoops with some levity in his new section, Eyeball to Eyeball, which will focus on the lighter side of Georgetown Basketball, reminding us all that it is still just a game.
  • And finally, we are proud to introduce Game Time (based on the section of the same name on our sibling site Shlake.com), a place where you the readers will get to have some fun in the comments, playing Georgetown related games.

We hope you enjoy these new additions to our site, and as always, we welcome your feedback in the comments or at hoyahoops@hoyahoops.com.
