Pizza, “il” advised

Upperclassmen will fondly remember 1063 31st Street NW as the location of The Alamo, a terrible Mexican-ish restaurant that did not card, where freshmen without fake IDs could order expensive margaritas and run into hallmates from Darnall who were drunk on Coronas and stuffed with mediocre tortilla chips.

Number four is the Wright man to lead Georgetown

After Georgetown’s resounding 103-90 victory over Villanova, sophomore Greg Monroe declared of this Hoyas squad, “We’re as good as we want to be.” Based on how the season has gone so far, it might have been more accurate to say the Hoyas are as good as Chris Wright wants to be.

Hoyas ready for Big East Championships

Coming off a sweep against Howard last week in their final home meet of the season, the men and women’s swimming and diving teams looked to finish the regular season with a trip to College Park to face the University of Maryland.

Georgetown University currently has two basketball teams ranked in the top 25 nationally. This is common territory for the men’s team, but not for the women’s squad. A huge part of this new success is sophomore forward Latia Magee, who has started every game this year for the Hoyas.

Backdoor Cuts: Hoya bench keeps it cool

The Georgetown men’s basketball team bench has been criticized all year. It contributes less than 25 percent of minutes played each game and only averages nine points per game.
