Review: Hoyas fight to highest seed since ’99-’00

Last year, Georgetown ended the regular season with an overall record of 12-16 and a final Big East tally of 7-9. However, the Hoyas conference record was solid enough to land them the sixth seed in the Big East tournament, the team’s highest seeding since the 1999-00 season.

Family Guys

The Hoyas aim for the NCAAs, led by John Thompson III

From Thompson Jr. to Thompson III and Ewing to Ewing Jr.; from the Westchester High School backcourt tandem of Brandon Bowman and Ashanti Cook to the Big East senior backcourt duo; from the comfort of home on the hilltop to culture shock at the southern abode of a loyal teammate: this year’s Georgetown Hoyas are much more than a 15-member team on the hard-court. They are family, members of the close-knit community that is Georgetown basketball.

“We really know what’s going on,” senior forward Brandon Bowman said of the seniors. “But we are more of a family, so everyone voices their opinion equally.”

Notes from the Underground

24 Hours in the tunnels

The first thing you notice is the hissing. As you step through the yawning metal door marked “Do Not Enter” into the network of heating maintenance tunnels beneath the center of campus, the steam pipes all around you emit a high, insistent whine punctuated by the occasional blast from a half-open valve. The path ahead stretches off into close, humid darkness on one side and the incandescent glare of naked light bulbs along a long, narrow corridor on the other. The passages are just barely wide enough for one person to walk through at a time, and they stretch onwards until the other end is little more than a smear of glowing color and shadow.
