Georgetown Hoyas History
The Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team first played in 1907. Independent for much of its existence, Georgetown became a founding member of the Big East Conference in 1979. The Hoyas have made 31 NCAA Tournament appearances, advanced to the Final Four five times and won the National Championship game in 1984. The 1984 championship team, led by the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Patrick Ewing, made history as the first Big East program to claim the title, while head coach John Thompson Jr. became the first Black head coach in Division I men's basketball to win a national championship.
As the Georgetown coach between 1972 and 1999, Thompson oversaw the nascent careers of future Basketball Hall of Fame players Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo and Allen Iverson, and was inducted as a coach himself in 1999. Other notable alumni of the basketball program include former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and U.S. Congressman Henry Hyde. Thompson’s son, John Thompson III, also served as head coach between 2004 and 2017, followed by Ewing until 2023.
In the Big East, the Hoyas have claimed 10 regular season titles as well as eight conference tournament championships. Many of the team’s rivalries are rooted against fellow Big East founders, such as the Syracuse Orange and UConn Huskies, though the former departed after a major conference realignment in 2013. At games, prepare to hear the cheer “Hoya Saxa” (Latin for “what rocks”) and keep an eye out for their real dog mascot, Jack the Bulldog.

After looking to purchase tickets… I thinking we got good seats only to get there… they are rolls of plenty of better seats down in front of us which remains empty seats thought out the game! what’s that about? Hoyas fan!
Everything was like it was suppose to be. No issues at all.
Back to back days in the Capital One Arena. Great game! Great venue! We’ll be back!
Great game. Great seats. Like the old days for sure
Clean, safe, nice environment. Very expensive tickets for a college basketball game though.
Just being back in the area and enjoying the atmosphere!! HoyaSaxa
Coming from France we landed at 4:30pm and took place at our seats at 6:50pm. All was good ... and Hoyas won the game
Tickets worked well. Only problem was one friend did not have a cell phone to pass ticket to. Problem if had to go to bathroom.
Capital One Arena is a really cool venue for basketball.
Great seats! It meant a lot to give the tickets to my goddaughter’s son and husband for Christmas
Was a bit ugly in the first half, but an undermanned Georgetown team made it a very competitive game and had a chance to tie on the last shot of the game. Pretty exciting. We had very good seats and had a good experience at Capital One Arena overall. I do think the Arena should have better food choices. Particularly for the money we paid, the food was pretty bad.
It was great game. I had amazing seats. I could see the whole court
Wonderful seats, easy access to the arena and our seats, friendly staff everywhere, clean arena, economically priced, and a great family outing event!
Great seating and lines move fast for the concession stand and restrooms
Really enjoyable game - venue was very nice - staff was wonderful
Easy to use. Even for an old man. Would absolutely use this again as digital tickets
All in all a great time. Not a full arena but still enjoyed the experience.
Double OT game. Game came down to the hustle and free throw shooting of Govan shooting free throws , taking fouls, and put backs in the paint. One of the better games I have ever been to!!!
The seats were good and the game was great. It was my 2 sons first Georgetown game and they loved it. Such a great game for their first. They are still talking about the double overtime win.
One of the most exciting games I have ever watched…. The Hoyas never quit ….
