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.

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.”

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).

XC makes waves in KY

A few days of rain left the ground at the E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville, KY, a bit wet Saturday, but the flat course at the Big East Cross Country Championships provided few challenges for Georgetown’s runners, with senior Melissa Grelli’s first place finish providing the highlight of the weekend.

The Sports Sermon

“Execution” generally conjures up images of bloody necks outside the Tower of London. For Georgetown football, the word means winning a game—at least according to Coach Kevin Kelly, who attributed the team’s victory against the Bucknell Bison last Saturday to the fact that the team “executed better,” (in an entirely, non-homicidal kind of way).
