  • The Hoyas picked up two wins over the week, beating St. John's at home on Wednesday, and then beating #8 Villanova in Philadelphia on Saturday.
  • There were tons of losses in the Top 25 over the past week, and four of the top 5 teams in the country picked up a loss as #2 Pittsburgh lost to Notre Dame on Big Monday, #3 Duke lost to St. John's yesterday in New York, #4 San Diego State lost their first game to Brigham Young on Wednesday, and #5 Connecticut fell to Louisville in double overtime on Saturday.
  • Also, #8 Villanova and #9 Syracuse each lost twice over the week, and #9 Brigham Young, #11 Missouri, #12 Purdue, #13 Texas A&M, #16 Minnesota, #17 Wisconsin, #18 Washington, #19 Vanderbilt, #20 Illinois, #22 Florida State, #24 Florida, and #25 Michigan State all lost a game this week as well.
  • #1 Ohio State is the only unbeaten team left in the country, and they narrowly escaped experiencing their first loss with a 58-57 win over Northwestern on Saturday.
  • In the NBA, Jeff Green continues to do well with the Thunder, as he scored 19 points and hit the game-tying shot in the overtime win against Minnesota, had 13 and 10 against the Wizards, and then scored 23 in the loss to the Heat yesterday afternoon.
  • Roy Hibbert scored 20 points for the first time since November, but followed up that performance against the Nets with a 2 point showing against Chicago . Expect big changes for the Pacers, though, as coach Jim O'Brien was fired and replaced with interim coach Frank Vogel.
  • Greg Monroe is continuing to do well with the Pistons as he scored 15 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds in a loss against the Knicks yesterday. DaJuan Summers played 12 minutes in that and scored four points.
  • In the NBA Development League, Patrick Ewing, Jr. was traded from the Reno Big Horns to the Sioux Falls Skyforce on Tuesday. In his first games with the Skyforce, he scored 13 and grabbed 15 boards and then followed that up with a team leading 14 points in two losses to the Dakota Wizards.

  • The Hoyas only played one game this past week due to exams, and they came up victorious, defeating Loyola (MD) 99-75 on Saturday.
  • There were no upsets of any of the Top 5 teams in the rankings, but #6 Kansas State lost to Florida, #7 Tennessee fell twice losing to Oakland and Charlotte, #8 Pittsburgh lost to those same Volunteers, and #9 Baylor were beaten by Gonzaga.
  • DaJuan Summers saw his first action with the Detroit Pistons in over a month, earning seven minutes in their loss against the Clippers, and then playing nine minutes in the win over the Hornets last night. In the game against New Orleans, DaJuan scored eight points to go with a rebound and steal.
  • In Turkey, Allen Iverson missed two games this weekend with an unspecified knee injury. Reports say he may be out ten days.

But besides getting their first win against a ranked opponent, here are some other interesting facts that should cement the game into Hoya History.
    • Austin Freeman, Jason Clark, and Chris Wright all reached the 20 point mark. This is only the second time under John Thompson III's tenure that three players have scored 20 or more, the last being last year's Duke game when it was Austin, Chris, and Greg Monroe scoring 20. The time before that was a Mike Sweetney, Kevin Braswell, and Wesley Wilson showing against Howard in '01.
    • Austin Freeman scored 31 points after scoring 32 against UNC Asheville. Last year, we showed you a list of 30-point performances up through the Harvard game, and it looks like we'll have to update that list soon. Iverson vs Villanova, 1996Under Coach Thompson, there have been five games where a player has gone for 30, and now Austin is responsible for three of them. The last time a Hoya had back-to-back 30-point games was in February of 2003 when Mike Sweetney put up 38 in a double-overtime loss to Notre Dame and followed that up with 32 two days later against Syracuse. If you're looking for the last time a Hoya put up 30 in back-to-back wins, you have to go all the way back to Allen Iverson's 37 against Villanova in the 1996 season finale and 38 against Miami in the Big East Tournament.
    • Chris Wright earned his second career double-double dishing out 10 assists to go with his 21 points. He earned his first in Charleston when he had a career-high 12 assists against Coastal Carolina. Chris is averaging over seven assists a game so far this season.
    • Jason Clark came up big in overtime scoring nine points on 3-3 from 3. That's the most points any Hoya has scored in overtime under Coach Thompson III's reign. The next best was DaJuan Summers with 8 against North Carolina in the East Regional Championship. Brandon Bowman also scored 8 in the overtime win against Norfolk State in Coach Thompson's first season.
    • The Hoyas went 18 for 18 from the free throw line on the night, which is the best in Georgetown's recorded history - at least according to our friends at The Georgetown Basketball History Project. They go back to 1978 with free throw percentage stats, and the best on that list was 12-12 against American in December of 78. Edit: The Georgetown Media Guide confirms that 12-12 against American was the record.
    • The Hoyas scored 111 points, which is the most under JTIII. The next best offensive performance was 110 against Radford at McDonough, the last victory for Georgetown at the on-campus arena.

More »]]> Turkey Allen IversonThe season officially gets underway on Friday, but before that happens, I figured I’d let you in on what’s going on with the Hoyas who’ve taken their basketball skills beyond the hilltop.

    Yesterday, we got you updated with all the Hoyas on Twitter, and today, I’ll be giving you recent updates on Georgetown players in the NBA and beyond.

    NBA Hoyas

    • NBA Jeff GreenJeff Green (NBA Profile) is in his fourth season with the Oklahoma City Thunder (nee Seattle SuperSonics). So far this season, he’s averaging just shy of 20 points per game with over seven rebounds and a steal per game. He had to sit out the last game against the Celtics with a rolled ankle, and hopefully will return to action tomorrow against the 76ers. Sunday night marked the first game that Jeff has missed since sitting out four games in 2009 with back spasms.
    • NBA Roy HibbertRoy Hibbert (NBA Profile), in his third season with the Indiana Pacers, is coming into his own as a true NBA center. Starting the season off with a 28 point, 10 rebound performance against the San Antonio Spurs, he’s continued to shine averaging a double-double in the Pacers’ five opening games. It seems like his hard work is paying off, and he’s getting more attention as a result.
    • NBA DaJuan SummersDaJuan Summers (NBA Profile) is in his second season with the Detroit Pistons, and as he did last year, he’s struggling to find playing time. He’s played in three of the Pistons’ seven games this season and has yet to make a lasting impact.
    • NBA Greg MonroeGreg Monroe (NBA Profile) is also with the Pistons, and like DaJuan he’s yet to find his role on the struggling Pistons. He’s been getting more playing time of late, getting action in Detroit’s last five games after sitting out the first two games credited to coach’s decision.

      • Europe and Beyond

    • Allen Iverson, after 14 seasons in the NBA, is taking his talents across the Atlantic Ocean to play with Beşiktaş Cola Turka in Istanbul. Just arriving in Turkey on Monday, he’s yet to play a game in Europe, but Allen has already seen the impact of his arrival as fans and media swarmed him at the airport yesterday, and he received a welcome ovation at a Beşiktaş soccer game last night.
    • Jessie Sapp, after spending a year in Scotland with the Glasgow Rocks, is now playing in Slovakia for Basketbal Pezinok.
    • Jonathan Wallace is playing basketball in Germany with FC Bayern Munchen. Over the weekend, he led Munich in scoring with 17 points in their win over ETB Wohnbau.
    • Brandon Bowman is currently playing professionally in Bulgaria for PBC Lukoil Academic. Former Marquette standout Dominic James is also playing in Sofia, who are currently 4-0 and sitting atop the Bulgarian National Basketball League standings.
    • Kevin Braswell is the only Hoya in Oceania, playing his second season with the New Zealand Breakers He had 14 points and five assists over the weekend against the Gold Coast Blaze.
    • Victor Samnick, another 2002 Hoya alum, is playing for Sluc Nancy Basket in France.
    • Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje is still playing in Germany, but he’s no longer with EWE Baskets Oldenburg. This season, he’s playing for the Artland Dragons from Quakenbruck.
    • Jameel Watkins may or may not play for a team called Hekmeh also known as Al-Hikma also known as Club Sagesse in Beirut, Lebanon. There really is very little information about the team of many names as they don’t have an active website.

Though none of them lasted four years, that doesn't detract from the contributions they provided on the 2006 Big East Regular Season, Big East Tournament, and NCAA East Regional Championship team.

Since there are only a few hours left, I'd better get going.

    New Jersey

    Besides kicking-off the new season, celebrating last season's accomplishments, dancing around with celebrities, and introducing the team's freshmen and half-freshman, Midnight Madness at Georgetown is a time to honor recent Hoyas beginning their careers in the NBA. This year, that person is DaJuan Summers. More »]]>     Midnight Madness is tonight, and before college basketball season officially begins, I thought I’d let you in on a couple things relating to tonight’s festivities.

    Since there are only a few hours left, I’d better get going.

    New Jersey

    Besides kicking-off the new season, celebrating last season’s accomplishments, dancing around with celebrities, and introducing the team’s freshmen and half-freshman, Midnight Madness at Georgetown is a time to honor recent Hoyas beginning their careers in the NBA.

    This year, that person is DaJuan Summers.

    DaJuan’s jersey will be the 23rd to adorn the back wall of McDonough, but it might not be the last one put up this year.

    Brandon Bowman is currently in training camp with the Sixers, and if things go his way, he might be playing professionally in front of an absurd rabbit as opposed to an absurd lion.

    hip-hop-bonni

    Patrick Ewing, Jr. is another Hoya who might break through to the League this year. He was supposed to be on the Knicks summer league roster, but he had to withdraw due to a nagging knee injury. Who knows what will happen when he fully recovers, but it could be the case that there are two Ewing jerseys on the wall before too long.

    And finally, Mike Sweetney is impressing people during his time in Boston, and if he can lose some weight and manage to get in shape, he’s another Hoya who might be in the NBA before the season’s over. True, he already has his jersey up on the wall in McDonough, but I think that if Mike makes an NBA comeback, he deserves to have his new team’s jersey up there as well.

    Sort of like Grover Cleveland.

    Statistical Anomaly

    judge-boshIn other news, Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors has recently won a lawsuit against cybersquatter Luis Zavala and his company Hoopology.com. Basically, a cybersquatter is someone who cybersquats.

    It means that this guy bought the domain name ChrisBosh.com and put up a website that would trick users who wanted to find Chris Bosh’s real website Chris-Bosh.com. And they were probably asking Chris for a lot of money to get the name back. Which isn’t okay.

    But besides just buying ChrisBosh.com, the bad guys also purchased around 800 other basketball-player-related domain names including MikeSweetney.com, RoyHibbert.com, PatrickEwingJr.com, and DaJuanSummers.com. They even went after JeremiahRivers.com.

    Even more close to home, though, Zavala and Co. purchased AustinFreeman.com, GregMonroe.com, HenrySims.com, and JulianVaughn.com.

    The good news is that as a result of the lawsuit, Bosh was awarded the hundreds of domain names and is offering their return to the players for free.

    How does this relate to Midnight Madness? Well, amazingly, before practices have even begun, Chris Bosh is leading the Hoyas with 4 assists.
