Georgetown sophomore guard Hollis Thompson has entered his name in the NBA Draft but has not signed an agent. He began the year as a starter, but was replaced mid-season by freshman Nate Lubick. His announcement comes just a few days after fellow sophomore Vee Sanford made it known that he would be transferring from Georgetown. Since Thompson does not have an agent, he has until May 8th to make a final decision about his future. Should he withdraw his name, he would be able to return to play for the Hoyas next season.

According to The Hoya, sophomore reserve guard Vee Sanford is transferring from Georgetown to an as yet undisclosed university. Due to the size of the incoming freshman class and the availability of scholarships, there was some speculation that someone would be transferring, and now those rumors have been confirmed, according to Sports Information Director Mex Carey. Here is Vee’s tweet regarding his decision:

No animosity toward gtown. I just feel its best 4 me2 move on.I’ve learned a lot and Its been a humbling experience .Thank u hoya nation.

We wish Vee all the best in his future endeavors.

For what turned out to be our final Pregame Predictions of the season, we asked you to guess how many turnovers Georgetown would have. The Hoyas committed 17 turnovers, which means that Julien’s prediction was closest, and he gets two points.

With the season over, we can now look at the final standings:

The Connecticut Huskies defeated the Butler Bulldogs 53-41 to win their third national championship. The Huskies were led by Kemba Walker’s 16 points, but the real story of the game was Butler’s ineptitude on the offensive end, as they shot an abysmal 18.8% from the field on the night.
