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.

Pitt played another awesome game. Three pointer to start set the tempo for the rest of the game. Georgetown did come close in the second half and made it slightly exciting, but never caught up.
Pittsburgh played an outstanding game. I am not sure whether Pittsburgh is that good or Georgetown is that bad. I am just glad Pitt won.
Great game. We had seats that were pretty high up but we could see perfectly. Had a great time.
The game was awesome, mostly because I'm a WVU grad/fan and we won against Georgetown even though they were ranked fairly high and we weren't ranked at all. I like the Verizon Center too; it's easy to get to from the Chinatown metro stop.
Getting there to find out that it was airport-style security because the President was going to attend the Wizards game later that night when no such announcement was made ahead of time was very disheartening. Persons with innocent metal objects (Swiss Army Knife) that are still not allowed through the metal detectors had the choice of eating the cost of their metal objects or the price of their tickets. Its not an airport--you don't expect the metal detectors, and you haven't prepared in advance for them. If this sort of thing is going to be set up on a surprise basis, patrons should have the option of a full refund on their tickets if they wish to walk away and retain their belongings. They certainly have the right to set up the security, and I understand why the President's schedule is not announced in advance, but the combination of the two can end up forcing innocent patrons into being ripped off.
The Verizon Center was packed with Hoyas fans. The seats that I had were great and the fans were all screaming for the Hoyas to pull forward. Wright had an amazing game and of course, we came out on top!
