Teams

Georgetown:
Georgetown had a difficult task posed towards them. They had to go down in the middle of the Big East season and take on a perennial powerhouse on their home court. The Hoyas responded well, even after falling behind by 15 points early in the second half. However, Greg Monroe was hampered by foul trouble which limited his minutes, and as a result the Georgetown offense was not as fluid. In the end, the Hoyas could not get over the hump.

The Georgetown Hoyas lost their final non-conference game of the season, falling to the Duke Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium 76-67. DaJuan Summers led the Hoyas with 21 points, but the Hoyas played most of the game without their leader Greg Monroe. Monroe picked up three fouls in the first half, all on the offensive end. Then in the second half he was whistled for a technical foul while he was seated on the bench. Monroe finished with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in his 28 minutes of action. Duke took advantage when Monroe was on the bench, closing out the first half on an 11-0 run. Henderson scored 17 points in the first half, and Duke led 40-29.

Hello everyone. Johnny here, less than half an hour away from tipoff of Georgetown’s last out-of-conference game of the season. Georgetown at Duke. Last time the Hoyas made it out to Cameron, things didn’t go the Hoyas’ way, and if you look at the series history, the Hoyas have yet to win a game in Durham.

I’ll be filling you in with all you need to know, and comments are open. Check back as often as you can.

Before Georgetown’s thrashing of Syracuse, we asked you to tell us how junior DaJuan Summers would fare. He was a major player, scoring 21 points and grabbing four rebounds. Let’s Go Hoyas was the closest again, and it seems he has these predictions down to a science. He takes a commanding lead in the race for the Hoya Hoops t-shirt. But, don’t lose hope, there’s still lots of basketball to be played.

The Hoyas next head down to Durham to take on Duke. Much is made of Duke’s defense, and while the Hoyas are no slouches when it comes to defense, the team has struggled recently keeping its opponents field goal percentage down.

What will Duke’s field goal percentage be?

We think Georgetown will step it up, holding the Blue Devils to 38% from the field. Hopefully it will be good enough to get the win. What do you think? Post your guesses.

So, Duke lost in round 2 of the NCAA Tournament. Honestly, they were lucky to get that far. Duke was the second best team in the ACC during the regular season, and they lost in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. They were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by the 5th best team in the Big East. But my point is not to praise the Big East. My point is not to compare the Big East to the ACC, even though West Virginia beat Duke, Villanova (#12 seed, 8th during Big East regular season) beat Clemson (#5 seed, 3rd during ACC season), and Syracuse (#9 in the Big East) beat Maryland (#6 in the ACC) in the NIT. My point is to criticize the American College Basketball Media for not seeing the reality of the situation.

Senior Class: Ryan Beal, Brandon Bowman, Ashanti Cook, Amadou Kilkenny-Diaw, Darrel Owens (Graduate Student)

The Georgetown Hoyas re-established themselves in the national spotlight of college basketball in 2005-06. The team played very well throughout the year coming up with excellent victories both home and away. The crowds at the Verizon Center continued to swell, and the student body came out with greater numbers than any point in school history. Georgetown advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament before falling to the eventual champion Florida Gators. The season was even more special for the seniors who had gone through a great deal of adversity during their college careers.
