Today the Hoyas host St. John’s. Georgetown coasted to an historically easy victory in the teams’ first meeting, but St. John’s has had success in the Verizon Center, winning the first four times they played on F Street. The hero for the Hoyas the first time Georgetown beat St. John’s at Verizon was Courtland Freeman. We talked with Courtland after the Cincinnati game, and you can find the first half of that interview here. And this is the rest of what the former #2 had to say.

Georgetown has a long history of keeping its former players very close to the current team. It’s a tradition we like to call “The Hoya Family”. We caught up with one member of the Hoya Family at the Verizon Center after the Cincinnati game this weekend: Courtland Freeman. Courtland was a power forward from the early part of this decade who was a solid rebounder and defender. At 6′9″, he had very good athleticism and had a number of memorable follow dunks. We spoke with Courtland about the current squad and last season’s accomplishments.

Roy Hibbert has been doing a great job lately for the Hoyas, so we at Hoya Hoops decided to talk to one of the people who helped the big fella get to where he is today, his high school basketball coach. Dwayne Bryant was a great player during his days at Georgetown and graduated high in the record books in steals, assists, and three-point percentage. He’s one of our favorite guests, and we had a chance to speak with him recently about Mr. Hibbert, the Hoyas, and his current team at Georgetown Prep. Here’s what the old #12 had to say.

If Hoya fans around D.C. are looking for some ways to ring in the New Year with more college basketball, Hoya Hoops has an excellent option. Get tickets to see the University of Maryland host Savannah State on Wednesday, January 2. Why? Because former Hoya Horace Broadnax is the Head Coach of the Tigers. Broadnax was a very good shooter for Georgetown and a member of the 1984 National Championship team. He’s in a totally different environment as a coach; Savannah State is an independent college with no conference affiliation and therefore no automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. We had a chance to speak with Horace about life at Savannah State and of course the old days on the hilltop.

Alonzo Mourning injured his knee and fell to the court in Atlanta on Wednesday. When Miami teammate Udonis Haslem went to try and help him up, Alonzo said four words, “It’s over, it’s over.” Doctors diagnosed the injury as a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.
