So, Duke lost in round 2 of the NCAA Tournament. Honestly, they were lucky to get that far. Duke was the second best team in the ACC during the regular season, and they lost in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. They were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by the 5th best team in the Big East. But my point is not to praise the Big East. My point is not to compare the Big East to the ACC, even though West Virginia beat Duke, Villanova (#12 seed, 8th during Big East regular season) beat Clemson (#5 seed, 3rd during ACC season), and Syracuse (#9 in the Big East) beat Maryland (#6 in the ACC) in the NIT. My point is to criticize the American College Basketball Media for not seeing the reality of the situation.

The Georgetown Hoyas re-established themselves in the national spotlight of college basketball in 2005-06. The team played very well throughout the year coming up with excellent victories both home and away. The crowds at the Verizon Center continued to swell, and the student body came out with greater numbers than any point in school history. Georgetown advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament before falling to the eventual champion Florida Gators. The season was even more special for the seniors who had gone through a great deal of adversity during their college careers.
