Less than a week after nearly clawing back from a 23-point deficit against No. 5 Syracuse, No. 11 Georgetown (19-7, 9-6 Big East) successfully overcame a halftime deficit against Louisville on the strength of Austin Freeman’s 24 second-half points.

Hoyas’ frantic comeback comes up short against ‘Cuse

Don’t call it a comeback. In another classic edition of their storied rivalry, Georgetown (18-7, 8-6 Big East) nearly stormed back from a 23-point deficit to knock off Syracuse (25-2, 12-2). But in the end the Hoyas came up short, and the Orange prevailed 75-71.

After loss to Rutgers, Hoyas look to juice ‘Cuse

Since conference play has started, the Hoyas have been consistently inconsistent. Georgetown (18-6, 8-5 Big East) has yet to lose back-to-back games, but they also have yet to string together three straight Big East wins. Right as the Hoyas begin to pick up steam, they always seem to suffer another setback. None was more disheartening than last Sunday’s loss to Rutgers.

Chiming in: When you’re a Chime, you’re a Chime all the way

Last Saturday night, the audience in Gaston Hall erupted in laughter as a nearly unintelligible cacophony rang out. On stage, an unlikely cast of characters—a bourbon-drinking Jesuit, Jersey Shore’s the Situation, and Midnight Madness toilet-shooter Alex Thiele, to name a few—sang out simultaneously.

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.

Some Hoyas cheer, others make music parodies

When junior guard Austin Freeman scored 28 points in the second half to lead the Hoyas to an amazing comeback victory over Connecticut, it was a performance for the ages, one that deserved to be immortalized in song. Most would consider that slightly hyperbolic, but not Chris Tiongson (COL ’89).

Hoyas get trapped by USF

There was one word that summed up Georgetown’s performance against South Florida Wednesday night: foul. The No. 7 Hoyas (16-5, 6-4 Big East) couldn’t hit their foul shots, saw their star big man sunk by foul trouble, and were left with a foul taste in their mouths after blowing a nine point halftime lead to lose 72-64 to the unranked Bulls (15-7, 5-5 Big East).

Hoyas exorcise demons, beat Blue Devils

In the post-game press conference after Georgetown’s emphatic beatdown of Duke, the most pertinent question came from a radio reporter in the back of the room. That reporter was former Georgetown head coach John Thompson Jr.

JTIII will look for big three to step up against Duke

In head coach John Thompson III’s six seasons at Georgetown, the Duke Blue Devils have emerged as the Hoyas’ preeminent non-conference rival. The budding feud dates back to Thompson’s first meeting with the Blue Devils in 2006, when an unranked Georgetown squad toppled then-No. 1 Duke, announcing their return to the national scene. Two subsequent meetings resulted in Hoya losses, including a 76-67 defeat in Durham last season that kicked off an epic collapse.

Monroe paces Hoyas in easy victory over Rutgers

Head coach John Thompson III wanted to get the ball into Greg Monroe’s hands right from the start. His star big man didn’t disappoint. Monroe hit his first 8 shots and scored 10 of Georgetown’s first 15 points as the No. 12 Hoyas (15-3, 6-2 Big East) easily dispatched Rutgers (9-10, 0-7 Big East) 88-63.
