What is the name of the stadium where the Georgetown Hoyas play?
2009 Georgetown Hoyas football team
The 2009 Georgetown Hoyas football team represented Georgetown University in the 2009 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The team was led by Kevin Kelly, in his 4th season as head coach. The Hoyas played their home games at Multi-Sport Field in Washington, DC. Georgetown failed to win a game, a first since 1885. However, they still filled their stadium past capacity for half their home games.
2012–13 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Playing its first game since December 22, Georgetown opened its Big East season on January 5, 2013, with an upset loss at Marquette that snapped the Hoyas′ winning streak at seven games. They dropped to No. 19 in the AP Poll, then suffered another upset loss at the hands of Pittsburgh three days later. The Hoyas′ early-season shooting woes continued. Marquette held Georgetown – which missed 10 of its first 12 shots – to 48 points, 16 points below the Hoyas' season average, and won by one point; Markel Starks led the Hoyas with 18 points against the Golden Eagles, while Otto Porter and Greg Whittington each finished with 13 points and Whittington pulled down eight rebounds. The 73-45 loss to Pittsburgh was Georgetown's largest margin of defeat since a 104-71 loss to Maryland at the Capital Centre – not yet the Hoyas′ home court at the time – on December 10, 1974, and the largest home loss since a 107-67 defeat by St. John's at McDonough Gymnasium on December 7, 1971. Georgetown shot 35 percent in field-goal attempts and no Hoyas scored in double figures, while the Panthers shot 55 percent from the field and completed a three-game streak in which they beat the Hoyas at the Verizon Center by 16, 15, and 28 points. It was the most lopsided Big East road win in Pittsburgh's history, and the Hoyas emerged from the game shooting only 38.7 percent from the field for the season while allowing opponents to average 55.7 points per game. Georgetown opened 0-2 in the conference play for the first time since the 2001-02 season, but the two defeats also were their only back-to-back losses of the regular season.

"Big Jim" Ricca, an NFL defensive end and offensive lineman, graduated in 1949 and was the last Hoya to play in an NFL game. In 2007, the Washington Redskins made Alex Buzbee a reserve player, becoming the first Georgetown player on an NFL team since Ricca retired in 1956. The 2011 Georgetown Football team finished 8-3, which was their first winning season since the 1999 campaign, giving them a second place in the conference.
2014–15 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Georgetown completed the regular season by hosting Seton Hall at the Verizon Center. Sidelined by heart arrhythmia since early in his freshman season in 2011, Georgetown senior center Tyler Adams had been relegated to the bench ever since under a medical hardship waiver that allowed him to remain on scholarship without counting against the school's scholarship total as long as he did not play, but he had been a steady presence and "de facto" assistant coach on the sidelines. In a process begun 16 months earlier, John Thompson III arranged for an NCAA waiver that allowed Adams to make a one-possession appearance against Seton Hall on Senior Day, the last home game before his graduation, something Thompson did not announce to Adams or anyone else on the team until two days before the game. Adams started the game and Seton Hall allowed him to make an uncontested dunk almost immediately, giving Georgetown a 2–0 lead, to an ovation by the Verizon Center crowd; it was an emotional moment for both Adams and his teammates. Thompson immediately called a timeout and Adams exited the game, but Georgetown played on to defeat the Pirates, sweeping the season series with them. Leading Georgetown scorer D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera sat out the game with a lower body injury – the only game he missed all season – but Jabril Trawick scored 19 points and Tre Campbell 13. The Hoyas finished the regular season with a record of 20–6 overall and 12-6 in the Big East, tied for second place with Butler.
Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball
To begin the 1984-85 season, the defending champions opened the season as the No. 1 ranked team and won their first 18 games. On January 26, 1985, the St. John's University Redmen snapped the Hoyas' 29 game win streak (dating back to the prior season), in what was the first of an unprecedented four contests this season. Their next meeting on February 27, 1985 was one of the most anticipated games in college basketball history, with Georgetown and St. John's ranked No. 2 and No. 1 respectively. Coach Thompson entered Madison Square Garden wearing a shirt under his blazer in the same sweater pattern as St. John's coach Lou Carnesecca, and as a result the game became known as "the sweater game." The Hoyas easily won the game 85-69, and then defeated the Redmen again just a few weeks later in the 1985 Big East Tournament Finals, capturing their fourth title in six years. The teams met one more time, after both advanced to the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament. Again No. 1 Georgetown was victorious, easily handling St. John's 77-59. In the title game the Hoyas found themselves matched up with another conference rival in Villanova, whom they had beaten twice that season. An overwhelming favorite going into the game, Georgetown was upset by the Wildcats 66-64, who shot a record 78.6 percent (22 of 28) from the floor, denying Georgetown back-to-back titles. Ewing graduated, having helped his team to a 121–23 record in his four years, and was the first player in school history to be drafted with the first overall pick.
Following the enormous heights of Ewing's four-year run, the program continued its success in the years that followed. Senior Reggie Williams led the Hoyas to both Big East regular season and tournament championships in the 1986–87 season. Freshman Alonzo Mourning and sophomore Dikembe Mutombo helped win both titles in the 1988–89 season. Mourning and Mutombo were both excellent shot blockers, Mourning led the nation in 1988–89, and fans created a "Rejection Row" section under the basket. They repeated both championships in the 1989–90 season and won the regular season title in the 1991-92 season.
1970–71 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1970–71 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1970-71 NCAA Division I college basketball season.

1918–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
On-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914-15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court. This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the teams travel expenses, and Georgetown averaged no more than three road games a year from this season through the 1926-27 season in order to keep travel to a minimum. The 1918-19 teams only road trip outside of Washington was to Annapolis, Maryland, to play a game at Navy.
1942–43 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
In the tournament quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden, Georgetown faced New York University, which had defeated the Hoyas 16 times in their last 21 meetings dating back to the 1921–1922 season and was the 2-to-1 favorite of New York City sportswriters, but Georgetown won in an upset, 55-36, with Mahnken scoring 18 points for the Hoyas. In the semifinals, the Hoyas were 3-to-1 underdogs to DePaul under first-year head coach Ray Meyer and led by their dominating center George Mikan. Following Ripleys strategy for the game, Kraus and Georgetown sophomore guard Billy Hassett kept Mikan busy in the middle while Hoya center Mahnken scored with outside shooting. The plan did succeed in allowing Georgetown to score, but also left Mikan fairly free to score for DePaul at the other end; despite this, Georgetown closed to 28-23 when Hoya guard Lloyd Potolicchio scored on a 50-foot (15-meter) shot at the buzzer at the end of the first half. The Hoyas pulled ahead in the second half, but Mahnken fouled out with 10 minutes left. Ripley put Henry Hyde, seven inches shorter than Mikan, in to play center. Hyde managed to keep Mikan in check, and Georgetown upset DePaul 53-49, prompting a Hoya fan to shout "Believe it or not...by Ripley!", a quote which received wide publicity. Hassett, a very reliable passer and outside shooter for the Hoyas, had 11 points in the game.

2013–14 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Unranked Georgetown began its season with a ranked opponent, No. 19 Oregon, in the Armed Forces Classic and in an unusual venue, Camp Humphreys, a United States Army base in South Korea located south of Seoul, with an audience consisting almost entirely of U.S. Army soldiers who cheered enthusiastically for both teams. Both teams wore special camouflage uniforms, the Ducks light-colored ones with "USA" on their backs instead of the players′ names and the Hoyas dark-colored ones sporting inspiring words like "Courage," "Integrity," and "Respect" rather than players′ names, and the coaches and staff of both teams wore combat boots and military-style cargo pants. Georgetown took its only lead of the first half by scoring the opening basket, but after that shot poorly and committed turnovers repeatedly, allowing Oregon to build a lead, although the Hoyas battled back to a 37–34 deficit at halftime behind 10 points by Mikael Hopkins and nine first-half points by Joshua Smith. The Hoyas briefly took their second and final lead of the game early in the second half, but Oregon soon pulled ahead for good, although Georgetown closed to within four points with a minute left in the game. Ultimately, the Hoyas missed important free throws and the Ducks made their free throws in the final minutes, and Oregon won 82-75. The Hoyas went only 1-for-15 (6.7 percent) from three-point range and Oregon outrebounded them 40-32. Joshua Smith scored a game-high 25 points – also his season high, as it turned out – but grabbed only four rebounds, Markel Starks made Georgetown's only three-pointer with 7:16 left in the game and finished with 16 points, Jabril Trawick had 11 points, and Mikael Hopkins contributed 10. Oregon's 82 points were more than any opponent had scored against Georgetown the previous season.
The Hoyas made a brief return to Washington, D.C., to defeat Wright State in their home opener at the Verizon Center, with D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera scoring 25 points and Starks contributing 23. Reggie Cameron scored on each of the first three three-point attempts of his collegiate career to finish with nine points as the Hoyas′ three-point game recovered from its dismal showing in South Korea on 10-for-22 (45 percent) shooting from beyond the arc. Georgetown then went on the road again to take part in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In the opening game of the tournament, Georgetown faced Northeastern – a team the Hoyas had faced only once before, in 1979 – and suffered a surprising upset at the hands of the Huskies, leading by 11 points at the half but collapsing in the second half, shooting 23 percent from the field after halftime, struggling at the free-throw line throughout the game, and allowing Northeastern to come from behind for a 63–56 win. Relegated to the tournament's consolation bracket, the Hoyas had a much better outing against Kansas State the following day, shooting 63 percent from the field and leading by as many as 29 points before coming away with a 90–63 victory. D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera was the only Hoya to score in double figures against Northeastern with 14 points and scored a game-high 25 points against Kansas State, while Jabil Trawick had 16, Joshua Smith 13, and Markel Starks 11 points against the Wildcats.
2013–14 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
After playing four of their first five games outside the continental United States, the Hoyas returned to the Verizon Center for a four-game homestand. A harbinger of roster problems that would plague Georgetown for much of the season came on the homestand's first day, when John Thompson III announced just before the tip-off on November 30 against Lipscomb – the first meeting of the schools – that junior forward Greg Whittington – who had not played since January 8, 2013, because of an academic suspension, missing the final 19 games of the 2012–13 season, and had suffered an injury over the summer of 2013 that required knee surgery and prevented him from playing at all during the 2013-2014 season – had been dismissed from the team for unspecified reasons. The Hoyas swept the homestand to extend their winning streak to six games. During the homestand, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera had 17 points each against Lipscomb and High Point, and 19 against Elon, while Markel Starks scored 18 against High Point, 12 against Colgate, and 21 against Elon. Joshua Smith scored 14 each against Lipscomb and Colgate and contributed 11 against High Point and 18 in the Elon game. Mikael Hopkins came off the bench to score 13 against Lipscomb and to contribute nine points and eight rebounds in the Colgate game. Against Colgate, Nate Lubick scored in double figures for the first time in the season with 10 points, and he followed up with another 10 points against Elon. Against High Point, the Hoyas tied their season high with 10 three-pointers, but against Elon they allowed the Phoenix to go 8-for-17 in three-pointers, the first time all season they had allowed an opponent to attempt more than seven three-point shots. The Hoyas′ victory over Colgate was their eighth in nine meetings between the schools, but the six-point win was so tight that an annoyed John Thompson III refused to let his players discuss it with the media, saying they had not earned the right to speak about the game.
2000–01 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 2000–01 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 2000–2001 NCAA Division I basketball season.

The Hoyas were members of the West Division of the Big East Conference. They finished the season 25-8, 10-6 in Big East play.

1926–27 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Although the team would continue to use Ryan Gymnasmium as a practice facility, this season was its last as the Hoyas home court.

The Hoyas would play their home games off campus for 22 seasons until the opening of McDonough Arena for the 1951-52 season brought home games back to campus.
2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
With an overall record of 18-4, 8-3 in the Big East, the Hoyas traveled to the Carrier Dome on February 8 to play No. 2 Syracuse, the top shooting team in the Big East, unbeaten in 15 home games during the season, and Georgetown's first ranked opponent in five weeks. The game pitted Syracuse's Big East-leading offense (78.1 points per game) against Georgetown's conference-leading defense (giving up only 58.6 points per game and limiting opponents to 27.6 percent in three-point shooting). In a tight first half that saw five ties, neither team had a strong offensive performance; Georgetown shot 39.4 percent from the field during the half, 3-for-13 (23.1%) from three-point range, while the Orange shot just 29 percent overall from the field and 2-for-11 (18.2%) in three-pointers. The underdog Hoyas pulled out to their largest lead of the game, 29-23, with 1:54 left in the half and led 31-27 at halftime, but Syracuse began the second half with an 8-0 run to take a 35-31 lead with just under 18 minutes left in regulation. Otherwise, neither team led by more than three points until the Orange scored five straight points to pull ahead 54-48 with 4:36 left. Georgetown closed to 55-54 with 1:36 to play thanks to two Jason Clark three-pointers, and Greg Whittington hit a free throw with a minute left to tie the game at 55-55, where the score stood at the end of regulation. Otto Porter scored the first four points in overtime, and Georgetown held a 61-59 lead with 2:19 remaining. Syracuse sophomore guard Dion Waiters sank two free throws to tie the game at 61-61, and, with 29 seconds remaining Orange senior forward Kris Joseph, who finished with 29 points, hit a decisive three-pointer to give Syracuse a 64-61 win and a 48-39 advantage in the all-time series with the Hoyas. In a losing cause, the Hoya defense held Syracuse to 34.9 percent shooting from the field and Georgetown outrebounded the Orange 52-35, while Syracuse held Georgetown, second in the Big East in three-point shooting, to 5-for-21 (23.8 percent) from three-point range.

2015–16 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
In November, Georgetown began its season by participating in the 2K Sports Classic, an annual tournament.

1926–27 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
During the mid-1920s, the Georgetown men's basketball program was struggling to survive. Faculty members opposed players missing classes for road games. Furthermore, on-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914-15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court. This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the teams travel expenses and limiting Georgetown to a very limited road schedule between the 1918-19 season and this season – often limited to an annual trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to play at Navy and sometimes a single trip to New York or Pennsylvania to play schools there – averaging no more than three road games a year in order to keep travel expenses and missed classes to a minimum. The 1926-27 team played only nine games; its only road game was a visit to Annapolis to play Navy and its planned three-game road trip to New York City at the end of the season was cancelled.

In the ECAC South final, Georgetown faced West Virginia on the Mountaineers home court at the WVU Coliseum before a crowd of some 14,000 West Virginia fans and a few hundred Hoya supporters. Jonathan Smith scored 10 points in the game and West Virginia guard Bob Huggins scored 14. The Mountaineers led 32-31 at halftime and appeared to have an advantage when Merlin Wilson and Larry Long both fouled out in the second half. With 54 seconds left in the game and West Virginia leading 61-58, Derrick Jackson scored to close to 61-60. The Mountaineers tried to preserve the win by running out the clock, but Georgetowns Mike Riley fouled West Virginias Ernie Hall with 10 seconds left to stop the clock. Hall came to the free-throw line to shoot a one-and-one, and missed his first shot. Ed Hopkins – who shot a career-low 25% (4-for-16) but pulled down 12 rebounds – grabbed the rebound and passed it to senior forward Bill Thomas, who in turn relayed it to Jackson with five seconds left. Jackson promptly scored on an 18-foot (5.5-meter) shot with two seconds left, silencing the crowd – except for the handful of Georgetown fans celebrating in the stands – and giving Georgetown a 62-61 victory. Jacksons shot became known in Georgetown men's basketball history as the "Shot Heard 'Round the World," because the unlikely victory secured the Hoyas first NCAA Tournament berth since the 1942-43 season and began the schools pattern of regular appearances in the tournament in the years to come.
2009–10 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Unfortunately for Georgetown, a shocking upset followed the win over Duke, as the No. 7 Hoyas resumed conference play by losing to South Florida, a team which three days earlier also had upset No. 17 Pittsburgh. The Hoyas blew a first-half 13-point lead, their offense going cold in the second half, resulting in arguably the biggest win in the history of Bulls basketball. Greg Monroe and Austin Freeman each scored 21 points and Monroe grabbed eight rebounds in the loss. The Hoyas then faced No. 2 Villanova – a team that had beaten them in January, had not yet lost a conference game during the season, and was riding an 11-game winning streak – on February 6. Although about two feet (61 cm) of snow had fallen in Washington, D.C., that day, 10,387 fans – including Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and former National Football League commissioner and Georgetown basketball player Paul Tagliabue – showed up at the Verizon Center for the game, some of the students in attendance having walked three miles (4.8 km) from the Georgetown campus. During the first half, the Hoyas forced 16 Villanova turnovers and limited the Wildcats to 12 field goals. A 15–2 Georgetown run gave the Hoyas a 34–20 lead, and a 16–4 Georgetown run followed to stretch the lead to 50–27, which Villanova cut to 50–31 at halftime. In the second half, Villanova scored 59 points and committed only two turnovers, and early in the half twice closed to a 13-point deficit, but the Hoyas then stretched their lead to 76–55 with 9:13 left to play. The Wildcats followed that with a 13–3 run of their own to close to 79–68 and later got as close as 81–71, but the Hoyas added to their lead again and ultimately upset Villanova 103–90. Georgetown went 39-for-50 (78 percent) from the foul line during the game, and making half of those free throws in the second half helped the Hoyas protect their lead against Villanova's second-half offensive surge. Austin Freeman scored a game-high 25 points and Jason Clark had 24, while Greg Monroe shot 11-for-14 (78.6 percent) from the field, scoring 19 points, pulling down eight rebounds, and making six assists. Julian Vaughn contributed 13 points and Hollis Thompson came off the bench to add 12.

2017–18 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
In their next game, the Hoyas faced a ranked opponent for the first time in the season when they traveled to meet No. 13 Seton Hall at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on January 13, the first time they had gone without a ranked opponent until mid-January since the 2003-2004 season. Undefeated at home for the season at 10–0, the Pirates were celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1992–1993 Pirates team that won both the Big East regular season championship and the 1993 Big East Tournament, and that season's head coach, P. J. Carlesimo, and Artūras Karnišovas, general manager of the Denver Nuggets and a member of the 1992–1993 Seton Hall team, were in the audience. The Hoyas staked themselves to a 12–3 lead to start the game, but the Pirates took advantage of Georgetown turnovers to come back with a 29–10 scoring run in the final 11 minutes of the first half and go into the locker room with a 44–31 at halftime. In the second half, the Pirates pulled out to a 16–point advantage before the Hoyas cut Seton Hall's lead to 60–52 with eight minutes to play, but Seton Hall extended its lead to 62–52 with 6:29 left and to 69-54 with 3:28 remaining on the way to a 74–61 win. It was Seton Hall's fifth straight victory over Georgetown, and the Pirates improved their all-time record against the Hoyas to 47–57 – dating back to the first meeting between the schools on December 10, 1909 – and to 21–41 since the two teams joined the original Big East Conference as charter members in 1979. Marcus Derrickson led the Hoyas with 18 points, while Kaleb Johnson scored 14 points and Jahvon Blair and Jesse Govan had 11 each.
2012–13 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Georgetown followed this disappointing beginning to its season by participating for the first time in the Legends Classic, in which the Hoyas first played two pre-selected mid-major opponents at the Verizon Center in non-tournament "regional" rounds, then went to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to play in a four-team tournament for the Classic championship, while its two regional opponents went to play in a parallel tournament of four mid-major teams in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the first regional round, Georgetown faced Duquesne for the first time since December 1995 – and only the second since December 1962 in a series the Dukes led 10-3 entering the game. The Hoyas defeated the Dukes despite a first half in which Georgetown shot 5-of-22 (22.7%) from the field and committed seven turnovers and a second half in which they committed 10 more turnovers. Three days later, the Hoyas beat Liberty in the second regional round. In his collegiate debut, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera came off the bench to score a team-leading 19 points against Duquesne, followed by 11 against Liberty. Greg Whittington had 15 rebounds in the Duquesne game and finished with a game-high and career-high 18 points against Liberty in a game in which Georgetown shot only 2-for-15 (13.3%) from three-point range but outscored the Flames 34-10 in the paint, including 24-0 in the first half. Mikael Hopkins scored 13 points against both the Dukes and the Flames, while Nate Lubick also scored 13 against Liberty and grabbed eight rebounds. Struck in the head six minutes into the Duquesne game, Otto Porter sat out the rest of that game and the entire Liberty game with concussion symptoms.
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.

Bourda
The stadium is located in Bourda in Georgetown, Guyana between Regent Street and North Road, it is home to the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC). The ground is reminiscent of old baseball stadiums, due to its cantilever stands. The Ladies stand is notable, but the more modern, such as the Rohan Kanhai stand, blend in well. The liveliest part of the ground with the ubiquitous music and DJs is at The Mound, an unprotected area. The ground is nicknamed "The Cornerstone".
Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball
Prior to the 2011–12 season, the Hoyas made a goodwill trip to China for several matches with local teams. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden attended their first game, a win over the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons. Their second game against the Bayi Rockets, however, ended in a brawl, causing the team to leave the court while Chinese fans threw garbage and debris. Georgetown won its final games, against the Liaoning Dinosaurs and the Taiwanese national team without incident. The Hoyas finished the season in fourth place in the Big East and received a bid to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 3 seed in the Midwest. After a win in the Second Round, they were upset by No. 11-seeded NC State.
2010–11 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Second in the United States in team field-goal percentage at 50.8 percent, the Hoyas next traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to face No. 8 Villanova at the Wells Fargo Center. Georgetown fell behind the Wildcats early, trailing 10-5 with 16:24 to play in the first half, but then came back to post a 32-26 lead at halftime. The Hoyas more or less held that lead until the Wildcats began a surge with 2:53 to play and closed to only a 61-60 deficit with 2:08 left. The Hoyas then got the ball to Austin Freeman repeatedly; he made a two-point layup to increase Georgetown's lead to 63-60 with 1:39 left, then, after Villanova sophomore guard Maalik Wayns made two free throws, hit a two-point jumper to extend Georgetown's lead to 65-62. After two more Wayns free throws, a dunk by Nate Lubick, and a layup by Wayns made the score Georgetown 67 Villanova 66, Freeman sank two free throws to secure a 69-66 upset victory for the Hoyas. Freeman went 8-for-8 in free throws and scored 10 of Georgetown's last 12 points on the way to a 30-point game, while Jason Clark scored 10 points, and Julian Vaughn went 7-for-7 from the free-throw line in a 9-point performance.

2012–13 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Based on tiebreaking criteria, Georgetown was seeded first in the 2013 Big East Tournament, its first No. 1 seed in the tournament since 2008. The high seed gave the Hoyas a double bye, and they did not begin play until the quarterfinals, in which they met ninth-seeded Cincinnati, which had upset eighth-seeded Providence the day before to advance to meet Georgetown. The Hoyas pulled ahead to a 24-8 lead in the first half before the Bearcats began a comeback, outscoring Georgetown 16-5 during the remainder of the half, closing to a 29-24 deficit at halftime. Cincinnati then began the second half with a 9-2 scoring run that gave them a 33-31 lead, their first lead since the first few minutes of the game. Nate Lubick hit a baseline hook to tie the score at 31-31, and then D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera led a scoring surge that combined with the characteristically strong Hoya defense for a 22-6 Georgetown run, giving the Hoyas a 53-39 lead with 3:30 to play. Georgetown continued to pull away to win 62-43. The Bearcats shot only 14-for-38 (36.8%) from the field and committed 15 turnovers.

1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
During this era, faculty members opposed players missing classes for road games. Furthermore, on-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914–15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court. This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the teams travel expenses and limiting Georgetown to a very limited road schedule between the 1918–19 and 1926–27 seasons – often only to an annual trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to play at Navy and sometimes a single trip to New York or Pennsylvania to play schools there – averaging no more than three road games a year in order to keep travel expenses and missed classes to a minimum. The 1922–23 squad made a three-game trip to Western New York to play games in Rochester and Buffalo and otherwise traveled only to Annapolis to play Navy during the season. Two of its scheduled games were cancelled, and it played only 11 games, finishing with a record of 8-3.
1910–11 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team

1965–66 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The eight-game win streak ended when Georgetown met 8th-ranked St. Joseph's at the Palestra in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Hoyas had not beaten the Hawks since 1956, and they did not in this meeting, losing to St. Josephs 111-73. The lopsided loss halted the Hoyas momentum and they lost their next two games as well. They recovered to win their final three games, with a 20-point effort by Dennis Cesar against Seton Hall, 22 points including the winning shot in the final seconds by Gibbons against Fairfield, and back-to-back 28-point performances by Hollendoner in the final two games of the season against Fairfield and Canisius, giving them 11 wins in their last 14 games of the year. Although they won more games than any other Georgetown team had since the 1946-47 season, their 16-8 record – the best record of O'Keefes six-year tenure as head coach – was not enough for them to receive an invitation to a post-season tournament.

Georgetown's next game was a non-conference affair against seventh-ranked Michigan State – its second Top-Ten opponent of the year – at Madison Square Garden in New York City on February 1, 2014; preceded by a game between Marquette and St. John's, it was the second game of the "Super Saturday Hoops" doubleheader celebrating the following day's Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in nearby East Rutherford, New Jersey. The two teams had met only once previously, when the Spartans knocked the Hoyas out of the 1986 NCAA Tournament in its second round. Michigan State came into the game with a record of 19–2 and was a heavy favorite despite playing with a front court weakened by injuries to senior center Adreian Payne and junior guard Branden Dawson. Trailing 30-29 at halftime, the Hoyas began the second half with an 11-2 run to take a 40-32 lead with 14:26 remaining in the game. Sophomore guard Gary Harris scored a game-high 20 points for the Spartans, and his three-pointer with 1:32 left reduced Georgetown's lead to 56-54. Jabril Trawick then made two key plays, tipping in a missed shot to give Georgetown a 58-54 lead and soon afterwards scoring on a breakaway dunk to give the Hoyas a 63-55 advantage. The Hoyas, who shot only 2-for-12 (16.7 percent) from three-point range but 22-for-49 (44.9 percent) from the field overall, held the Spartans to 39.3 percent shooting from the field, and became only the fourth team to outrebound Michigan State during the season, 37-30. Markel Starks led Georgetown with 16 points, D'Vautes Smith-Rivera scored 12, Trawick had eight, and the Georgetown front court had a strong game with Lubick scoring eight points as Georgetown broke its losing streak with a shocking 64-60 upset of Michigan State and defeated a ranked opponent for the second time during the season.
1985 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game
The Hoyas entered the 1984–85 season as the defending national champion, having won the title in 1984. Coached by John Thompson, the Hoyas featured center Patrick Ewing, who was named to the 1985 All-American team. The Hoyas held the number one ranking in the Associated Press Poll at the start of the season, and won their first 14 games. The team alternated the position with fellow Big East team St. John's. Georgetown lost only two games in the regular season, consecutive matchups with St. John's and Syracuse, before an 11-game winning streak prior to the NCAA Tournament that included a Big East Tournament championship. After losing their number one ranking after their pair of losses, Georgetown regained the position in the March 5 rankings and held it at the end of the regular season. The team was thought of at the time as one of the best college clubs in years. Their wins included a pair over Villanova in conference play. In the first game, held at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Villanova's home arena, the teams battled into overtime before the Hoyas claimed a two-point victory. The repeat contest, in Washington, D.C., was also closely contested, but Georgetown again prevailed, 57–50.

1906–07 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1906–07 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1906-07 Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States college basketball season. It was the first men's team in Georgetown basketball history. Georgetown was an independent and played its home games at the Washington Light Infantry Armory at 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW in downtown Washington, D.C., finishing the season with a record of 2-2.
1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
On-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914-15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court. This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the teams travel expenses and averaged no more than three road games a year from the 1918-19 season through the 1926-27 season in order to keep travel to a minimum. The 1919-20 teams only road trip outside of Washington was to New York City and Connecticut at the end of the season.
2015–16 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Winners of five of their last six games and with an overall record of 11–6 and a conference record of 4–1, the Hoyas returned to Washington to host No. 6 Villanova, winners of 20 straight Big East games since an upset loss to Georgetown at the Verizon Center on January 19, 2015, and Georgetown′s third Top Ten opponent of the season. Before the game, Georgetown held a moment of silence for former Butler center Andrew Smith, who had died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia four days earlier at the age of 26. Villanova led 26–22 at halftime. At one point in the second half, the Wildcats went without a field goal for 5:39, and they only scored one field goal during the final eight minutes of the game. but the Hoyas got in foul trouble and the Wildcats played tough inside defense and made nine of their last 10 free throws. D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera had 15 points in the game, Isaac Copeland added 11, and Reggie Cameron put in 10, but the Hoyas made a number of ball-handling mistakes and shot only 32.7 percent from the field for the game, and Villanova won 55–50.
2014–15 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
With a record of 21–10 and climbing to No. 22 in the AP Poll, Georgetown received a bid to the 2015 NCAA Tournament, its 30th appearance in the tournament, eighth appearance in the past ten seasons, and first since 2013. Seeded No. 4 in the South Region, the Hoyas opened play in the Round of 64 (known as the "Second Round" that season), by meeting the region's No. 13 seed, Eastern Washington of the Big Sky Conference, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The Hoyas had lost four of the last five NCAA Tournament games they had played, all of them to teams seeded 10th or lower; Eastern Washington entered the game averaging 80.8 points per game and had the leading Division I scorer in the United States in redshirt junior guard Tyler Harvey, who was averaging 22.9 points per game. During an interview on a national radio show the day before the game, Eastern Washington head coach Jim Hayford extolled the virtues of his team and promised that the Eagles, who were making only the second NCAA Tournament appearance in school history and first since 2004, would beat the Hoyas in an upset. Joshua Smith got into early foul trouble and spent long stretches on the bench while the Eagles spread the floor and played a fast game, attempting a barrage of three-pointers; they made six of their first 12 three-point attempts, and they hit three of them in a row to take a 24–17 lead midway through the first half, raising fears on the Georgetown team that they were destined to lose in another NCAA Tournament first-round upset at the hands of a double-digit seed. But with both Smith and Mikael Hopkins on the bench with foul trouble, Thompson turned to unheralded junior reserve center Bradley Hayes, who had spent three seasons in obscurity on the bench. Hayes responded to the opportunity with the breakout game of his career, playing the final 10 minutes of the first half; he scored a career-high eight points, making all three lay-ups and both free throws he attempted, pulled down a career-high six rebounds, and recorded an assist. He did not play after halftime, but in no small part thanks to his efforts, as well as to the Hoyas sinking their share of three-pointers, Georgetown pulled out to a 43–33 lead at the half. Hayes's ten minutes of play turned out to be the turning point of the game. Georgetown opened the second half with a 15–2 scoring run that culminated in back-to-back three-pointers by D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, stretching the Hoyas′ lead to 58–35. The Eagles closed to a seven-point deficit in the final seconds, but finally succumbed despite Harvey's game-high 27 points. Georgetown won 84–74, its first NCAA Tournament victory since 2012, shooting 11-for-23 (47.8 percent) from three-point range for the game, while Eastern Washington shot 9-for-28 (32.1 percent) in three-pointers. Smith-Rivera had 25 points and Mikael Hopkins scored 10 and had nine rebounds, while Jabril Trawick and Paul White also contributed 10 points each. Eastern Washington exited with an all-time NCAA Tournament record of 0–2.
2009–10 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The Hoyas returned to the Verizon Center for a two-game homestand. In the first game, they hosted their first ranked conference opponent of the season, No. 13 Connecticut. The game was close at first, with the Huskies clinging to a 20–19 lead with 8:38 to play in the first half. Then the Georgetown offense when into a deep slump: While Connecticut scored 16 unanswered points, the Hoyas did not score again until Greg Monroe hit a pair of free throws with 4:30 left in the half, by which time Connecticut had built a 34–21 lead. Connecticut then went on a 6–0 run to take a 40–21 lead before Chris Wright connected on a two-point jumper with 45 seconds left until halftime – ending a 9½-minute stretch in which the Hoyas missed 11 consecutive shots from the field and saw their shooting effort for the game drop to 6-for-25 (24 percent) – to allow Georgetown to close to 40–23. The Hoyas went into the locker room at the break down 41–25, but Austin Freeman – who scored 28 of his career-high and game-high 33 points in the second half and also pulled down seven rebounds – led a Hoya comeback. With Connecticut leading 45–34 with 16:44 left to play, Freeman scored on a three-point jumper that sparked a 10–0 Georgetown run in which he scored eight points, allowing the Hoyas to close to 45–41 with 14:57 remaining. The Huskies managed to pull ahead to a lead of as many as seven points, but the Hoyas again closed the gap, and a Freeman three-pointer put Georgetown ahead 66–65 with 3:09 remaining. The game stayed tight, but Connecticut did not score a field goal during the final 3½ minutes, and a Julian Vaughn two-pointer put Georgetown ahead for good at 70–69 with 44 seconds left. In the end the Hoyas pulled off a 72–69 come-from-behind victory to avoid an upset. Greg Monroe had a double-double (15 points and 10 rebounds), and Chris Wright scored 14 points. Ranked No. 11 by the time they met Seton Hall five days later, the Hoyas put heavy defensive pressure on the Pirates's highest-scoring player, Jeremy Hazell, and won easily, with Chris Wright scoring 21 points, Jason Clark rebounding from a scoreless outing against Connecticut to score a career-high 20 points, Austin Freeman adding 16 points, and Julian Vaughn contributing 13, while Greg Monroe had an eight-point, nine-rebound game. The win gave Georgetown a perfect 8–0 record at the Verizon Center for the season.
Rayful Edmond
Edmond was an avid fan of the Georgetown Hoyas, and frequently sat courtside with his entourage at the Capital Centre for home games. At the height of his empire, he became very friendly with several Hoyas players. When Georgetown University basketball coach (and D.C. native) John Thompson confirmed what was happening, he sent word through his sources to have Edmond meet him at his office at McDonough Gymnasium.
1979–80 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
On February 13, 1980, Georgetown visited No.3-ranked Syracuse for the last game Syracuse was to play at Manley Field House before moving into the new Carrier Dome for its home games. The odds-on favorite with a 57-game home winning streak at Manley, Syracuse expected to virtually clinch the first Big East regular-season championship by closing Manley with one final victory, and held a 14-point lead over the Hoyas at halftime. Shelton scored 17 points and, late in the game, the Hoyas went on a 15-5 run to tie the score at 50. With five seconds left, Syracuse fouled Sleepy Floyd, and Floyd, who uncharacteristically scored only eight points in the game, sank both his free throws to give Georgetown a 52-50 upset win. In his post-game press conference, John Thompson exulted, "Manley Field House is officially closed." That quote, combined with Georgetown's upset victory on an historic evening in Syracuse basketball, is credited as the beginning of the great Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry that would be one of the defining features of the original Big East Conference for the rest of its 34-year existence.
Georgetown Hoyas
Georgetown's ice hockey team plays in the ACHA Division II in the Atlantic Coast Collegiate Hockey League (ACCHL) as one of three teams whose primary conference is not the Atlantic Coast Conference. Since joining this conference in 2003, the team has won the conference championship four times, in 2004-05, 2006–07, 2007–08, and again in 2012-13. The team previously played in the Division III Mason-Dixon Collegiate Hockey Association, where it won the league championship in 1997, 1999, and 2000. In 2001 and 2002, they were invited to the national tournament of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, which the team had joined in 1999. Coach Brad Card now leads the team, taking over the bench for Coach John Kokidko. The team plays its home matches at the Washington Capitals' practice arena, Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Ballston, Arlington, Virginia at the Ballston Common Mall.

Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball
The team moved its home arena in the 1981-82 season to the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland to accommodate its growing fan base. It also marked the arrival of heralded recruit, Patrick Ewing, who became one of the first college players to start and star on a varsity team as a freshman. That year, Ewing led the Hoyas to their second Big East Tournament title in school history, and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. In the tournament, the Hoyas advanced to their first Final Four since 1943, where they defeated the University of Louisville 50-46, to set up a showdown in the NCAA Final against the University of North Carolina. In one of the most star-studded championship games in NCAA history, Ewing was called for goaltending five times in the first half (later revealed to be intentional at the behest of coach Thompson), setting the tone for the Hoyas and making his presence felt. The Hoyas led by one point late in the game, but a jumpshot by future NBA superstar Michael Jordan gave North Carolina the lead. Georgetown still had a chance at winning the game in the final seconds, but Freddy Brown mistakenly threw a bad pass directly to opposing player James Worthy, and North Carolina won 63-62.
1925–26 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
During the mid-1920s, the Georgetown men's basketball program was struggling to survive. Faculty members opposed players missing classes for road games. Furthermore, on-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914-15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court. This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the teams travel expenses and limiting Georgetown to a very limited road schedule between the 1918-19 and 1926-27 seasons – often limited to an annual trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to play at Navy and sometimes a single trip to New York or Pennsylvania to play schools there – averaging no more than three road games a year in order to keep travel expenses and missed classes to a minimum. The 1925-26 squad, however, was among the more traveled Georgetown teams of the era, going on the road to play at Army and Penn State in addition to trips to Annapolis and New York City. It nonetheless played only 13 games, and its 5-8 finish was only the second losing record in school history and the first since the 1909-10 team finished 5-7. It was the only losing season by an O'Reilly-coached team.
1996–97 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1996–97 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 1996–97 NCAA Division I basketball season. John Thompson, Jr., coached them in his 25th season as head coach. Their home court was USAir Arena in Landover, Maryland. They were members of the Big East 7 Division of the Big East Conference, were the regular-season champions of the Big East 7 Division, and finished the season with a record of 20-10, 11-7 in Big East play. Their record earned them a bye in the first round of the 1997 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament, and they advanced to the semifinals before losing to Boston College. They received a No. 10 seed in the West Regional of the 1997 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament – Georgetowns 18th NCAA Tournament appearance in 19 years – and lost to No. 7 seed North Carolina-Charlotte in the first round.
1957–58 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team

It finished with a record of 10-11 and had no post-season play.
1995–96 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Two days after beating Memphis, the Hoyas faced third-ranked Connecticut at USAir Arena. The Huskies came into the game with a chance to break the record for consecutive wins in Big East games set by the 1984-85 Hoyas. Before a national television audience and a sold-out arena, the Georgetown defense held Connecticut junior shooting guard Ray Allen to two points in the first half and forced the Huskies to commit 20 turnovers. Hoya sophomore forward Boubacar Aw scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds, while Iverson scored 26 points, highlighted by a soaring dunk early in the second half that electrified the crowd, and had eight steals and six assists as the Hoyas upset Connecticut 77-65. Connecticut became the highest-ranked team that Georgetown had defeated since the 1987-88 Hoyas defeated second-ranked Pittsburgh in January 1988.

1981–82 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Georgetowns move from on-campus McDonough Gymnasium to the Capital Centre for its home games had been prompted by a surge in fan interest in the team as its prominence grew, especially after Ewings arrival sparked great excitement; average attendance at Georgetown games was twice that of the previous season. The Hoyas started the season 11-2 against non-conference opponents, with senior guard and team co-captain Eric "Sleepy" Floyd getting off to an uncharacteristically slow start but then returning to his role as the teams leading scorer, with a combined 41 points in games against American and George Washington, 27 against Nevada-Las Vegas, and 14 of Georgetowns 38 points in a pre-shot-clock-era slow-down game against Columbia.
2016–17 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Three days later, Georgetown took part in the annual Gavitt Tipoff Games, a series of eight games per year between teams of the Big East Conference and Big Ten Conference. For the second straight year, Georgetown drew Maryland as its Big Ten opponent, hosting the Terrapins at the Verizon Center – the first time the Hoyas had hosted the Terrapins since 1993. The Hoyas made 37 of their 42 free throws but blew a 68–59 lead with 2:21 remaining as Maryland went on a 17–7 scoring run the rest of the way to win the game, 76–75, defeating Georgetown for the second season in a row. Maryland's players stormed the court to celebrate the victory. Scoring 21 points, L. J. Peak led a balanced Georgetown attack which also saw Rodney Pryor score 14 points, Isaac Copeland finish with a double-double (13 points and 13 rebounds), and Jesse Govan add 12 points.
2015–16 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
With a No. 8 seed in the 2016 Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden, Georgetown faced ninth-seeded DePaul in the first round. Former Georgetown head coach John Thompson, Jr., and former Georgetown great Patrick Ewing, both members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, attended the game, seated behind Georgetown′s bench. Bradley Hayes, who missed the last six games of the regular season with a broken hand, returned to play, and his presence bolstered the Hoyas′ defense. The Hoyas shot 50 percent (12-for-24) from the field during the first half, while the Blue Demons shot only 31 percent (9-for-29), and Georgetown finished the half with an 8–0 scoring run – almost 10–0, but the officials ruled that Kaleb Johnson′s layup at the buzzer was too late to count – that gave the Hoyas a 35–24 lead at halftime. In the second half, the Hoyas had a 16–2 scoring run – including 11 by D'Vauntes Smith Rivera, who scored 15 points after halftime – to pull 18 points ahead for the first time at 55–37 with 8:56 left in the game. Georgetown snapped its six-game losing streak and won 70–53, its first victory in nearly weeks, while DePaul lost its fourth game in a row, for the eighth time in its last nine Big East Tournament games, and for the 19th time in the last 20 games against Georgetown. For the game, DePaul shot 37.9 percent (22-for-58) from the field, while the Hoyas shot 50 percent (23-for-46). Smith-Rivera – who entered the game fifth in scoring in the Big East with 16.3 points per game and was the only Big East player to be in the top ten in seven statistical categories – scored 20 points, Hayes had 10, and L. J. Peak came off the bench to add 10 points.
2008–09 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Moving up to No. 21 in the AP Poll, the Hoyas next traveled to Lake Buena Vista, Florida, to play in the Old Spice Classic. They met Wichita State in the first round in a game in which the Shockers outrebounded the Hoyas 17-6 but shot only 27.9 percent from the field, and Georgetown went 8-for-8 in free throws in the final minute to preserve a 58-50 victory, with Austin Freeman scoring a game-high 18 points, DaJuan Summers 14, and Greg Monroe 11. In the semifinal the following day, the Hoyas faced No. 12 Tennessee, their first ranked opponent of the season. Four Hoyas – Chris Wright with 18 points, DaJuan Summers with 17, Greg Monroe with 15, and Austin Freeman with 12 – scored in double figures as Georgetown shot 53 percent from the field. But Georgetown also committed 20 turnovers, including 10 in the first 15 minutes, and had an uncharacteristically porous defense, allowing the Volunteers also to shoot 53 percent from the field, and Tennessee had a 39-37 advantage at halftime. Early in the second half, the Hoyas went on a 23-10 run to pull ahead, 65-57, but the Volunteers then responded with a 10-1 run of their own to take a 67-66 lead, followed by an 8-3 run to give Tennessee a 75-69 advantage. With some starters in early foul trouble on both sides, both teams′ benches saw significant playing time, and that worked to Tennessee's advantage, with the Volunteers′ bench outscoring the Hoyas′ bench 37-12. Tennessee handed the Hoyas their first defeat, 90-78. Georgetown thus met Maryland two days later in the third-place game, only the third meeting between the cross-town rivals since 1980, the first since the 2001 NCAA Tournament, and the first during the regular season since 1993. Freeman scored 18 points, Summers contributed 14, Monroe had 12, and Jessie Sapp scored 10 as the Hoyas made 10 of their first 14 shots, shot 53.1 percent from the field, and held the Terrapins to 36.1 percent shooting. Georgetown led by as many as 21 points in the first half, by 38-20 at halftime, by 61-33 with 13 minutes left in the second half, and by 73-38 with 7½ minutes to play on the way to an easy 75-48 victory to secure third place.
1911–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1911–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1911-12 NCAA Division I college basketball season. James Colliflower coached the team in his first season as head coach. Georgetown was an independent and – except for two early games at Ryan Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus – played its home games at the Arcade Rink, also known as the Arcadia and as the Arcade Auditorium, in Washington, D.C. It finished the season with a record of 11-6.
2009–10 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Ranked No. 11, Georgetown returned to Washington, D.C., to play its last two non-conference games of the season, meeting Old Dominion and Harvard. Three years earlier, Old Dominion had upset the Hoyas to become the first team to beat Georgetown in a game at McDonough Gymnasium since 1982, and in a return to McDonough on December 19 – the season's only game there, played on a day when Georgetown University was closed due to a snowstorm – the Monarchs took advantage of a slow start by the Hoyas to again upset Georgetown, dealing the Hoyas their first setback of the season and remaining the only team to defeat Georgetown at McDonough over the course of nearly 28 years. Greg Monroe had a game-high 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Austin Freeman and Julian Vaughn each contributed 13 points, with Freeman pulling down six rebounds and Vaughn grabbing seven. Falling to No. 14 in the AP Poll after the loss, Georgetown had an easier time in a victory over Harvard at the Verizon Center four days later in which Chris Wright scored a career-high 34 points, Austin Freeman scored 21, and Greg Monroe had a double-double with 16 points and a career-high 16 rebounds.
List of Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball seasons
This is a list of the seasons completed by the Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, the most successful and well-known sports program at Georgetown University. It won the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship in 1984 (over the University of Houston) under coach John Thompson, Jr. The Hoyas also reached and lost the Championship game in 1943 (to Wyoming), 1982 (to North Carolina), and 1985 (to Big East rival Villanova). The Hoyas have appeared in the NCAA Tournament 30 times in all, making it to the Final Four in 1943, 1982, 1984, 1985, and 2007.
2013–14 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Although the Hoyas bounced back for an overtime win at Butler in which D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera scored 18 points, Markel Starks had 15, and Aaron Bowen came off the bench to score 11, handing the Bulldogs their fourth straight loss, Georgetown and its depleted roster then went into a tailspin, losing at Xavier, at home against Seton Hall and at home in overtime against Marquette, and at Creighton. At Xavier, Markel Starks scored 19 points, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera had 18 for the second straight game, and Reggie Cameron scored in double digits for the first time in his collegiate career with a 13-point performance, and as a team the Hoyas tied their season record by connecting on 10 three-pointers, but the Hoyas blew a 17-point lead with 15 minutes to play, failing to score during the game's final six minutes. The pattern repeated itself three days later, when Seton Hall overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half and held the Hoyas scoreless over the last 9:44 of the game to beat Georgetown. It was Seton Hall's first defeat of Georgetown in a game in Washington since an overtime victory on January 29, 2003, and the first one in regulation since January 8, 2000; against the Pirates, Smith-Rivera had 14 points, Aaron Bowen came off the bench to score 13, and Mikael Hopkins contributed 11. The game with Marquette broke a string of seven straight games between the schools in which at least one of the teams had been in the Top 25, and Marquette – picked pre-season to win the Big East and, like the Hoyas, falling well short of expectations – arrived winless on the road in Big East play for the season, but the Hoyas blew a seven-point lead with three minutes to play and the Golden Eagles outscored them 15–7 in overtime. Markel Starks had a career-high 28 points and Smith-Rivera had 24, while Mikael Hopkins contributed 11 rebounds and six points against Marquette. In the loss at first-place Creighton five nights later before a school-record crowd of 18,859 at CenturyLink Center Omaha, Starks had 21 points, Smith-Rivera had 18, and Hopkins had 14, and Nate Lubick pulled down 10 rebounds, but the Hoyas shot 39 percent from the field; it was their third sub-40-percent performance in a row.
2016–17 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Next up for the Hoyas was the Maui Invitational Tournament. Georgetown began the tournament by hosting a non-bracketed opening-round game against Arkansas State at McDonough Gymnasium, the Hoyas′ first game on campus since the 2014 National Invitation Tournament. The Hoyas shot only 3-for-18 (16.7 percent) from three-point range and, despite Jesse Govan's 20 points, L. J. Peak's 18, and Isaac Copeland's 11, the Red Wolves led by double figures for much of the game and held off a 22-7 late-game Georgetown rally to upset the Hoyas 78–72. Thanks to the surprising loss, Georgetown opened its season with a 1–2 record for the second straight year.
1960–61 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1960–61 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1960-61 NCAA Division I college basketball season. Tommy O'Keefe coached them in his first season as head coach. The team was an independent and played its home games at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C.. The team finished with a record of 11-10 and had no post-season play, but it was the first Georgetown team to have a winning record since the 1955-56 season.
Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball
Prior to the 1979–80 season, Georgetown joined with six other schools, Providence, St. John's, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut, and Boston College to found a conference focused primarily on basketball. The Big East Conference provided Georgetown increased competition, and several of its longest rivalries. On February 13, 1980, in the final game at Manley Field House, Georgetown star Sleepy Floyd scored two last-second free-throws to snap No. 3 Syracuse's 57 game home winning streak, leading Coach Thompson to declare "Manley Field House is officially closed." They faced Syracuse again three weeks later in the first Big East Tournament Finals, winning 87–81. In the 1980 NCAA Tournament, the team advanced to the Elite Eight, where they fell on a last second foul call to the Iowa Hawkeyes.
1987–88 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The Big East had developed a reputation for strong rivalries, physical play, and, increasingly, fighting. On January 6, 1988, Pittsburgh and Georgetown met at the Capital Centre and the 14th-ranked Hoyas upset the No. 2 Panthers. During the game, a fight broke out between Tillmon and Pittsburghs Nate Bailey, a benches-clearing brawl followed, and the teams came away from the incident bearing grudges against each other. On February 20, 1988, the Hoyas again met Pittsburgh, this time at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With four seconds remaining in the game and the Panthers leading 70-65, Perry McDonald and Pittsburghs Jerome Lane became entangled with one another while fighting for a rebound under the basket, and McDonald's elbow struck Lane. Lane responded with a roundhouse right, and McDonald – a two-time Gold Glove boxing champion in Louisiana – retaliated. Fights immediately also broke out between Hoya sophomore center Sam Jefferson and Pittsburgh senior forward Demetreus Gore and between Georgetown junior forward Johnathan Edwards and Panthers senior forward Charles Smith (not to be confused with Georgetowns Charles Smith), and another benches-clearing brawl ensued. Angry Pittsburgh fans came onto the floor, Thompson pulled the Hoyas off the court, and the game did not continue. Postgame, Thompson had to separate the teams when the fight almost resumed in the hallway between the opposing locker rooms. The ugly incident, coming on the heels of the fight at the Capital Centre the previous month, prompted Big East Commissioner Dave Gavitt to convene a committee to recommend measures to reduce fighting and other unsportsmanlike behavior in the conference.
