There are few intangibles in basketball more important than chemistry. College basketball is one of the few sports left in which teamwork and togetherness can consistently defeat talent and explosiveness. With that in mind, try and determine the following pairs of Georgetown teammates in our final exam of the semester. All of the following pairs played together at Georgetown for at least three seasons.

1) What two backcourt mates from the same high school in Washington DC arrived at Georgetown as role players and went on to lead the team to a Big East Championship and Elite Eight appearance as seniors?

2) Name the two future NBA teammates who were both among the Big East elite during their days at Georgetown, and both graduated from Georgetown as the third all-time leading scorer in school history.

3) Which two future NBA All-Stars combined to form the greatest shot-blocking tandem in Georgetown Basketball and Big East history?

4) What guards were major contributors as freshmen, won two Big East Tournament titles, combined to score over 31 points per game as seniors, and averaged 25.5 wins per season during their illustrious careers?

5) Who were the high school teammates from California who as seniors, in their first NCAA tournament, helped lead the Hoyas to the Sweet Sixteen?

2) How many wins did John Thompson Jr. earn as head coach of the Hoyas?

3) Jim Barry holds the record for most points scored in a single game. How many did he score?

Be careful to avoid a “sophomore slump” - some of these questions are not as easy as they seem. A little concentration should be enough to earn passing marks, but racing through too quickly will cost you. Below, please find the sophomore level exam in Geography.

1) In what city did Georgetown win their first National Championship?

2) In what city did Georgetown win their 1st Big East Tournament?

3) In what city did Nat Burton make his historic game-winning shot against Arkansas in the NCAA Tournament?

And in case you missed it, be sure to check out the History exam.

Even first years with no real interest in Hoya Hoops should have basic knowledge about the University’s best recognized commodity. The following is the History exam, freshman level; it should not be very taxing for even casual Georgetown Basketball fans. I know a lot of you wish you could have taken this instead of EuroCiv.

1) In what year did Georgetown win its 1st National Championship?

2) In what year did Georgetown go to its 1st Final Four?

3) What was the name of the Hoyas’ “home away from home” that was their off campus home court before they moved to the Verizon Center?
