Non-Verizon Center Classics, Part 2
By Hoya HoopsWe just finished up our Ten Years in Ten Days tribute to the Hoyas’ tenure at the Verizon Center. This week, we talked about the important home games from the last five seasons. So like we did last Friday, we’re gonna ask you about your favorite Hoya moments away from Chinatown:
What was your favorite Hoya game NOT played at the Verizon Center from 2003 to 2007?
Now we know a lot of people are going to pick a certain game from last season, but we’re going to go with the game at Villanova in January of 2005. The Wildcats decided to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their National Championship during a game against the Hoyas. On the day Villanova honored the players from their 1985 team, Georgetown defeated the Wildcats in the final second, as Darrel Owens’ two free throws put the Hoyas in front. The final score? 66-64.
We’ve talked at length about the Hoyas’ struggles against Villanova at the Verizon center, and we think this victory made up for that opening day loss ten years ago.
What are your favorites?

I was at that UNC game in East Rutherford. I have to go with that one for sure. It was absolutely amazing and that atmosphere was better than a home game. The entire crowd was boo-ing the refs for most of the first half as there was such a huge foul discrepancy.
I remember being so excited after winning that game, that it took like an hour and a half to drive back to DC from the Meadowlands.

the pitt game from last year to win the bet. it had been soo long since we won, and we dominated that game entirely. i remember being worried since i was sure they were gonna make a run, and with about 3 minutes left in hte game, i was like, wow, i dont think pitt is gonna make a run anymore. very good game. totally dominated the opponent for 40 minutes. lets try to duplicate that effort this year!!
