#Natitude re-emerges in D.C.

After Robert Griffin III’s knee buckled under the weight of the city’s expectations, Georgetown students eager to get into D.C. sports were left with only the underachievers who play in the Verizon Center.

Basketball beating trend with four straight wins

This is the time of year that usually has Hoya fans praying for wins. In the recent past, the turn of the new year usually coincides with a slip from a non-conference hot streak for the Georgetown men’s basketball team (16-4, 6-3 Big East). While this is not unreasonable given the strength of the Big East, the slaughter at the hands of Pittsburgh after a tough loss at Marquette, in addition to the loss of sophomore forward Greg Whittington left the Hoya faithful with a familiar feeling of worry.
