HOYA HOOPS: Hoyas vs. Notre Dame - Saturday, January 6 at 9:00 a.m

The Georgetown Hoyas Men's Basketball Team started off the year with high expectations and a #8 ranking in the AP poll. However, the team stumbled a bit in November, losing at home to Old Dominion and to Oregon, then losing a third game at Duke. The media jumped off the bandwagon. As with all bandwagon fans, they jumped off much too soon. NCAA Titles aren't won and lost in November, and the Hoyas lost a few games, but they were learning. The team was trying to incorporate six players into the rotation that didn't play much last year -- including three highly vaunted freshmen. In December, after the Duke loss, the team began to gel. The team beat Oral Roberts badly just weeks after ORU took down highly ranked Kansas.

After dispatching several easier opponents during finals, Georgetown then traveled to Michigan and dissected the two-loss Wolverines. In this streak, Georgetown hasn't won by less than 15, and has won four games by more than 20. In the meantime, Oregon and Duke are in the Top 10 -- demonstrating that those losses weren't so bad after all. The Hoyas are poised to win their first BE Title of any kind in years in what is a wide open Big East.
So get on the bandwagon! To summarize:
