Last season, Georgetown had a week off before facing Mount St. Mary's and ended up needing to hold on for a victory.

Georgetown bounced back nicely after a poor home opener. Now, coach John Thompson III gets to see how his team responds following a long gap between games.

Savannah State guard Tracy Rankins slashes to the basket under Georgetown's Nikita Mescheriakov and Chris Wright during Saturday's game at Tiger Arena.

In what appears to be a serious mismatch, the 19th-ranked Georgetown Hoyas have made the trek to Georgia to take on the Tigers of Savannah State.

Greg Monroe made a layup with 6.5 seconds remaining, as 19th-ranked Georgetown held on for a 46-45 win over Temple at the Verizon Center.

The 19th-ranked Georgetown Hoyas play their first home game of the season, as they welcome the Temple Owls to the Verizon Center for this afternoon's non-conference clash.

Greg Monroe returned home and finished with game-highs of 18 points and 11 rebounds, and No.

Georgetown's Jason Clark seems primed for a sophomore surge. The 6-foot-2 shooting guard from Woodbridge, Va., is slated to make his first start for the Hoyas when No.

The curtain goes up on another Georgetown Hoyas basketball season this Friday and it's anyone's guess how it will pan out.

There has been an indisputable truth that dates back to the dawn of the Big East: Teams with toughness and experience prevail.

To avoid a repeat of last season's disappointing finish, Georgetown probably needs a traditional second-year leap from its frontcourt tandem of Julian Vaughn and Henry Sims.

There was a time when Greg Monroe was clearly the No. 1 player in the 2008 recruiting class, although that was before he signed with Georgetown and then concluded his high school career.

John Thompson III will not dance at Friday's Midnight Madness festivities. ESPN and a few thousand students will converge on McDonough Gymnasium to watch the Georgetown basketball team christen a new season of hoops on the Hilltop this weekend.

For at least a few days in January, Georgetown was the talk of Big East basketball, opening conference play by toppling powerhouse Connecticut on the road. But after a 10-1 start, the Hoyas' promising season ended in irrelevance.

Deserted by their shooting touch, defensive fire and trust in one another, the Hoyas failed to earn an NCAA bid and folded in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament.

To be sure, there are lessons to be learned from a season marked by such wild shifts of fortune. But there are dangers in dwelling on the string of disappointing defeats that landed the once-proud Hoyas with a record (16-15, 7-11) that didn't reflect their potential.

John Thompson III continues to change the scheduling philosophy with his father's school.
