2001-02 – Record: 8-5 (Conference 4-4)
Senior Class: Kevin Braswell

Georgetown was trying to build on their Sweet Sixteen appearance from one year earlier but had a lot of trouble with consistency. The Hoyas had a great game at home against Syracuse, beating the Orange by 15 - the most ever at the Verizon Center - but there will always be a dark cloud over this season. 2001-02 was the only season in the modern era that the Hoyas were cheated out of an NCAA Tournament berth. They were flat out gypped.

In Kevin Braswell’s senior season, the team had a number of close losses that they should have won, but when the NCAA Tournament field included Boston College, a Big East team with a worse conference record than Georgetown, whom the Hoyas had beaten on the road by 27 points, you can be sure that something was wrong with the selection committee’s judgment. It was a real shame that one of the greatest guards in Hoya History only got to appear in one NCAA Tournament.

College basketball has two premier conferences - the Big East and the SEC. Top to bottom these are the toughest conferences in America every single year. The ACC, Big Ten and Big 12 always have great teams, and the PAC-10 almost always does too. Occasionally, Conference USA or the Atlantic 10 will have one team that is among the nation’s elite. But when you’re talking about conferences as a whole, where every team is a tough opponent every single night, the Big East and SEC have separated themselves over the past thirty years.

1998-99 – Record: 8-6 (Conference: 3-6)
Senior Class: Dean Berry, Demian Bolden, Daymond Jackson,
Trez Kilpatrick, Joe Touomou

This was a historic year for Georgetown Basketball as about one third of the way through the season, Coach John Thompson retired, and Craig Esherick became the Hoyas’ new head coach. This team had a number of older players but no real veteran leaders. The young players weren’t quite ready to take over the team, and consequently, the Hoyas struggled mightily all season. To make matters worse, the team never seemed to catch a break, as the team lost six games by three points or less.
