1978–79 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The Hoyas began the year with an exhibition game against the Chinese national team, a game made possible by co-sponsorship by the National Committee on United States–China Relations of a five-game tour of the United States by the Chinese men's and women's teams. Georgetown was the Chinese men's team fourth stop on their tour, and they defeated the Hoyas behind the play of center Mu Tieh-chu, conservatively estimated at 7 feet 2 inches (218 cm) in height and nicknamed "The Great Wall of China" by the U.S. players he faced.
