2000–01 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The team opened the season 16–0, the best start by a Georgetown team since the 1984–85 season, with four of the wins against Big East opponents. After that, the Hoyas lost six of their next ten games, all in the conference, often thanks to poor starts. They fell to 20-6 overall and 7-6 in the Big East, and with only three games left in the regular season and 17th-ranked Syracuse coming to the MCI Center on February 24, 2001, the Hoyas hopes of making the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament were in doubt. Against Syracuse, Georgetown scored the first seven points of the game, but the Orangemen responded with a 9-3 run to close to 10-9. Despite suffering from an Achilles tendon injury, Demetrius Hunter scored a three-pointer to open Georgetowns lead to 13-9. After Syracuse took a 15-14 lead, Scruggs hit a three-pointer to give the Hoyas a 17-15 advantage, and the teams traded leads for the rest of the first half, with Georgetown leading 36-33 at halftime. The Hoyas shot poorly from the free-throw line during the first half, and, in the second half, while Syracuse was scoring on 90 percent of its free throws, the Hoyas shot only 3-for-9 (33%) from the free-throw line in one stretch and only 12-for-28 (42.9%) for the game. Syracuse was leading when Hunter scored back-to-back three-pointers to put the Hoyas ahead with 11:10 left in the game. With Syracuse in foul trouble inside, Georgetowns lead varied between six and eight points. Syracuse senior forward Damone Browns field goal with 5:04 left cut Georgetowns lead to 63–57, but it was the Orangemens last field goal of the game. Playing tough defense, grabbing three straight offensive rebounds, and using the clock well, the Hoyas built their lead to 12 points with 2:39 remaining. Hunter, who had a 21-point game, scored on a slam dunk with 38 seconds remaining, after which Braswell dribbled out the clock to seal a 72–61 Hoya win. After the game, Hoya fans flooded onto the court, the first time that had ever happened at a Big East home game for Georgetown.
