Merry Christmas from Hoya Hoops! In the spirit of giving, we’ve decided to give you a list of our favorite Christmas Carols that all have a special significance when applied to the Hoyas season.

#5 – Silent Night

The Hoyas’ win over Alabama was a quality one in a tough environment against a team from a top conference. That early victory helped the Hoyas extend their undefeated string to start the season and helped to silence the rowdy crowd in Birmingham.

#4 – God Rest You Merry Gentlemen

The Hoya gentlemen deserve a little rest. Hopefully, the players can enjoy a little bit of R & R for Christmas. A little time at home with family and friends should be the perfect way to unwind and re-charge for the intense three months that lie ahead.

#3 – O Come All Ye Faithful

The fans deserve a lot of credit for creating a great atmosphere at the Verizon Center, even during the less attractive part of the schedule. I’m sure the faithful will be even more involved when Big East play begins.

#2 – What Child Is This?

Austin Freeman has been an excellent addition to the Hoyas this season and over the past few games has arguably been Georgetown’s best player. He can score with his jumper, cuts, or athleticism. Besides his ability to fill it up, he also is a very cool customer, never letting a great play affect his poker face. Not bad for a freshman.

#1 – Joy To The World

During the Christmas Holidays, Hoya fans have a nice opportunity to reflect on the great success from 2007 and to anticipate the great things that lie ahead in 2008. The Hoyas look to repeat their Big East Championships from last season, and hope to have a nice reprise of this carol in March.
