What Rocks: Jessie Sapp

Tucked away in a corner of Harlem on the edge of the East River, in the middle of the Woodrow Wilson projects, Jesse Sapp learned to play basketball. Hard-nosed. No referees. No specialization. There are no defensive replacements or three-point line lingerers. It’s a game as raw and unforgiving as the concrete it’s played on. The kids just play.

Men’s soccer season ends on low note

After an exciting run that clinched a Big East Tournament berth for the Georgetown men’s soccer team, the Hoyas fell short on Wednesday night to the South Florida Bulls in first round action in Tampa. On Saturday, the Hoyas ended their regular season against the No. 9 Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in a thrilling match that was the last at home for seniors Mike Glaccum, Joe Devine and Richard Diaz. It also pitted Head Coach Brian Wiese against his former team.

The Sports Sermon

Through the joint efforts of middle-school social studies teachers and Mel Gibson’s nuanced filmmaking, the ancient Mayan blood sport Pok-A-Tok has become infamous as the most brutal athletic pursuit in history. Modern day rugby, found right here on Georgetown’s campus, however, may just give the fellows from Chichen Itza a run for their money.

FAST BREAK

Everyone knows it’s a long road to the Final Four. Last year’s Hoya squad didn’t make the ultimate foursome by going untested during their season-long run.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Earlier this week, the Presidents of the Big East Conference voted to change the men’s and women’s conference basketball tournaments beginning in 2009. All 16 teams will make the tournament at the end of the season, instead of the top twelve that do now.

Georgetown vs. William & Mary

The 68-53 final score does not adequately tell the story of what was a tough opening test for the fifth-ranked Georgetown basketball team.

Title Defense

A long-awaited return to the Final Four, the first 30-win season since 1985, and the first Big East Tournament Championship since 1989. If last year was any indication, John Thompson III’s Georgetown basketball reclamation project has been a success, but you wouldn’t know it by talking to the current Hoya coaches or players. Last year is right where it should be: in the past.

Baby Coach

Don’t let the acoustics in McDonough Gymnasium fool you. The bouncing balls and squeaking sneakers are the sources of incessant echoing from Midnight Madness to March, but if you listen closely, there is a different sort of echo that is just as persistent in this bastion of ballers.

This is why we’re hot

The following songs’ heavy baselines and lyrics are guaranteed to get you pumped-up while drinking at 10 a.m. before the game (as if you needed any help). They will also keep you going as you rush to the Verizon Center two hours early hoping to sit in the lower student section. Bump these tracks while you read the Voice’s basketball issue so you’ll know the words by game time this Saturday.

Jack is in the house

“Jack’s already been walked [today], so he might not be that cooperative,” Walid Khalifeh (SFS ‘08), told me when we picked up Georgetown’s mascot from the lobby of the Jesuit residence. “As you might know, bulldogs are not the most energetic of dogs.”

The Sports Sermon

We all know that U.S.-China relations are a tricky aspect of our nation’s foreign policy, which is why the Bush administration is rolling out the big guns for its latest efforts at diplomacy: Cal Ripken is taking a swing at things in Beijing (pun intended).
