If Chris Wright indeed is right from a health perspective, the Georgetown Hoyas have to feel good about their chances as the NCAA tournament begins.
But if the Hoyas’ point guard isn’t at full speed, a sputtering Georgetown squad looks vulnerable to a first-game exit from the Big Dance. ( Read More…)

Despite losing three of their past four games and dropping to sixth place in the Big East Conference, it’s a safe bet the Georgetown Hoyas will hear their name called when NCAA Tournament bids are announced on March 13.
The Hoyas are ranked No. 17 in this week’s ESPN/USA Today national rankings, and playing in the rugged Big East has resulted in several signature victories and molded a team that’s a dangerous squad heading toward postseason play. ( Read More…)

The injury could be a severe blow to the Hoyas and their chances of making a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
Wright is averaging over 13 points per game, which is the second highest on the team behind Austin Freeman.
Head coach John Thompson III said they don’t know which bone he broke in his hand or how much time he could miss. ( Read More…)

Georgetown Hoyas star Greg Monroe was selected with the seventh pick in the NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons, after a season in which he was a first-team All-Big East performer. He brings immediate help to a Pistons team lacking productivity from their big men.
Monroe was widely viewed as the most skilled big man in the draft, possessing great skill in not only scoring but also passing and helping run an offense, no doubt skills he refined while running the Princeton offense under John Thompson III at Georgetown. He averaged 16.1 points and 9.7 rebounds during his sophomore and final season in Washington, D.C. ( Read More…)

Down seven points in the second half on the road to the Providence Friars, the Georgetown Hoyas looked headed to a second straight let-down-after-a-huge-win game.
But unlike against USF, where Dominique Jones led the Bulls to snap the Hoyas’ 11-game winning streak at the Verizon Center, no one on Providence could rally the Friars, while the Hoyas got back to running their offense and controlling the game with Greg Monroe, as they won 79-70 on Tuesday night.
“Road wins in this league are difficult to come by,” Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. “This was a game where things were not going well for us in a lot of different ways. We were extremely frustrated for large parts of that game. That’s because of Providence, that’s because of what they were doing, that’s because of their offensive execution and their defensive tenacity.”
Luckily, Monroe stepped up when it counted. After guard Jason Clark, who broke out for a career-high 24 points against Villanova, picked up three quick fouls in the second half, Monroe took over the facilitator role for Georgetown and started picking apart Providence.
Monroe finished with a most unusual double-double for a big man: one with points and assists. Monroe finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, and 12 assists on the night.

Three days after rolling over at home against Dominique Jones and USF, the Georgetown Hoyas put the Villanova Wildcats on their backs early and never let up.
The Hoyas exploded offensively in a 103-90 win over the No.2 ranked Wildcats in front of a crowd of over 10,000, despite an “epic” snowstorm that dumped two feet of snow upon the nation’s capital.
Before the game, when Hoyas PG Chris Wright scored 10 points or less in a game, the Hoyas were 1-5 this year (15-0 when he scored in double-digits). He had become known as a bellwether for the Hoyas—his performance was largely indicative of whether or not they’d win or lose.
The Hoyas rocketed out to an early lead on the heels of sophomore guard Jason Clark’s career day. Clark knocked down all four of his three-point attempts in the first half (and six on the day) en route to 24 points, easily his best game in a Hoya uniform.
Clark’s explosion made up for Wright, who was saddled with his fourth foul with more than 15 minutes left and spent most of the second half on the bench. Wright fouled out with more than five minutes left, having only scored seven points, and the challenge was on for the Hoyas.
But Georgetown, who hadn’t let Villanova close their lead to single-digits, kept their foot on the throttle at the free throw line, knocking down 39 of 50 in the game to boost their lead.
Junior guard Austin Freeman led the Hoyas with 25 points (including two three-points), and Greg Monroe finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.

The No. 7 Georgetown Hoyas could not hold onto a big first-half lead in a 73-56 loss to the No. 4 Syracuse Orange.
Georgetown stormed out of the gate, scoring the games first 14 points thanks to four three-pointers.
Three of those three-point shots came from guard Austin Freeman, and it looked like the Hoyas were poised for a big victory.
Things turned around in a hurry, and Georgetown found themselves trailing heading into the locker room.
Things didn’t get much better in the second half, as the Hoyas continued to miss shots and Syracuse pulled away.
