Hoyas earn five seed in first NCAA berth since ‘93

In a season full of excitement, the women’s basketball team experienced another thrilling moment on Monday night. This time, though, it was off the court. At the Monday selection show, the Hoyas learned they had received a bid to play in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 1992-1993 season.

Hoyas to face Ohio

Last Sunday afternoon, the members of the Georgetown men’s basketball team were as happy to be sitting in Leo’s as they had ever been. That’s because they weren’t there to eat—they were watching the NCAA tournament selection show in the dining hall. Most of the Hoyas were experiencing this excitement for the first time, after last year’s disappointing National Invitation Tournament showing.
