Including the three players from the 2010 game, 36 Hoyas have played in the Capital Classic.

Markel Starks’ performance is tied for the second highest output by a future Hoya in the Cap Classic. Patrick Ewing and Mark Tillmon each also scored 18 points, so the young Mr. Starks is in pretty good company. Victor Page put up 22 points in 1994, which is still the Hoya record.

Below is a list of the Hoyas to play in the prestigious event, and their point total, some of which will surprise you.

Chris Wright scored 34 Points in Georgetown’s recent win against Harvard. The performance earned him a spot on the Big East Weekly Honor Roll, and here are some interesting stats about the 30-point game:

• Wright’s point total was the highest scored by a player in a game under head coach John Thompson III.
• It was only the second time since JTIII became the head coach that a player for the Hoyas has scored 30 or more – Jeff Green scored 30 points in the 2007 Big East Semifinal win over Notre Dame.
• The 34-point performance is the highest by any Hoya since February 7, 2004 when Gerald Riley put up 37 at home against Miami.

Since 30-point games have been such a rare occurrence lately for the Hoyas, we thought it would be a nice time to look back at the most recent 30-point games. Instead of going back all the way back through the entire history of the Hoyas, we decided to begin with the 1994-95 season. That was the year that Allen Iverson was a freshman.

Georgetown:
The Hoyas needed a road win, and they got it. Things started looking bad for the Boys in Blue when Providence took a six point lead early in the second half. But the Hoyas hung tough and methodically pulled away, led by their sharp shooting and their defense. It is especially good to see Georgetown hitting from downtown, as we know what can happen when the shots don’t fall.
