When the Hoyas beat Villanova on Saturday, Georgetown broke some school records, and like we did after the Duke game, here are a few of the reasons the Blizzard Game will go down in history:

• As Mike pointed out, this was the first time that the Hoyas scored 100 points against a Big East opponent in regulation since 1996. In the last game of the regular season, the Hoyas defeated Villanova at the Caps Center/USAir Arena/whatever it was called at that time 106-68. It was the final home game for Othella Harrington, Jerome Williams, and Allen Iverson.
• The game marked the first time a team has scored 100 points against Villanova while Coach Jay Wright has been there. The last time was when Providence beat them 100-74 on February 11, 2004.
• Austin Freeman scored 25 points That marks the fourth straight game that Free has gone for 20 or more points. The last Hoya to do that was Mike Sweetney in 2003. Big Mike amazingly scored 20 or more in 26 out of 32 games that season.
  
  The last guard to score 20 points in four straight was Shernard Long back in 1998.
• Jason Clark scored a career high 24 points and one was one three-pointer shy of tying Mark Tillmon and Darrel Owen’s record of 7 in a single game.

In the fall of 1986, four freshmen basketball players began their careers at Georgetown University. That was an important time in Georgetown Basketball history. The previous March, four long-time Hoyas had ended their historic careers: Ralph Dalton, David Wingate, Michael Jackson, and Horace Broadnax had all been major contributors on the NCAA National Championship team two years earlier. Two of those players left school among the all-time greats – Wingate ended his career as the third all-time leading scorer, and Jackson was Georgetown’s all-time leader in assists after his four seasons. There was a cloud of doubt at the start of the 1986-87 season, and in many ways the future of Georgetown Basketball depended on those four freshmen.
