We 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?

We are now halfway done our Ten Years in Ten Days tribute to the Verizon/MCI Center. This week, we chronicled the important home games for the first five seasons. But that means we have been neglecting half of the games those teams played. So here’s this week’s Game Time question:

What was your favorite Hoya game NOT played at the Verizon Center from 1998 to 2002?

We pick the triple OT win over Virginia in the NIT. It was a classic battle, and the Boys in Blue came out on top. What about you?

We have been talking a lot about avenging losses this week. That got us thinking about the losses we suffered last year, and we came up with this question.

Which of Georgetown’s six regular season losses last year do you wish never happened, and why?

For us, we are picking the loss at Syracuse because we should never lose to Syracuse and that stopped our unbeaten streak.

What loss you would exchange for a win? Remember: regular season, so no fair picking OSU.

For this week’s Game Time, we decided we’d keep it Thanksgiving related to allow Hoyas fans to count their blessings. So here’s the question:

What do Georgetown fans have the most to be thankful about this year?

We at Hoya Hoops are thankful that Big Roy came back for his senior season. While it would have been nice seeing Jeff and Roy making highlight reels in the pros, having a Georgetown big man staying for four years is reminiscent of the Glory Days of the program and is a harbinger for things to come.

Basically, we just wanted to use the word “harbinger” in our response. What do you think?

This week, we talked about AI and Melo’s relationship in Denver, and mentioned a few other good Big East pairs. So, for this week’s Game Time, we pose this question to you:

Which former Big East player currently in the NBA would you most like to see Jeff Green team up with?

We would like to see him with Richard Hamilton. The former UCONN star is 25th in the league in assists, and we are sure he could create some open looks for Jeff.

Who do you think would pair up well with Jeff Green? Let us know.

As Mike mentioned earlier this week, a preseason top 5 ranking is not a guarantee of success. So this week’s Game Time question is:

Which of the Top 5 teams will lose a game first?

Your choices are UNC, Memphis, UCLA, Kansas, and Georgetown. Post your guesses below.

In honor of our recent interview, here’s this week’s Game Time question:

What is your favorite Chvotkinism?

If you can’t guess, a Chovtkinism would be defined as one of the quirky things that Rich Chvotkin is known to say during the course of a Hoyas game. One of our favorites? The “snowbird.” What are yours?

Alright, for the first edition of Hoya Hoops’ Game Time, we’ll be writing Hoykus, poetry about the beauty of Georgetown Basketball. But before we get to explaining the rules, here is an excerpt from the classic television show Cheers:

Sam: Oh, come on Diane, writing poetry is easy. All it has to do is rhyme.
Diane: Sam, it doesn’t have to rhyme.
Sam: Even easier!

With that in mind, it’s time for you to put on your Japanese poetry thinking caps. Remember, it’s not a Haiku (or HOY-ku in our case) unless the first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the third and final line has five syllables. Got it? 5-7-5. Here’s ours:

Think you can do better? Post your own Hoykus in the comments.
