I agree, that was the best ever atmosphere for a regular season game at Verizon Center for Georgetown men’s basketball. Read this piece.
It may have been a first as well. Georgetown was clearly the dominant team over Duke. The game wasn’t close at all and to have BOTH the President and Vice President in the house was a treat.
The student body was rocking, ”We are — Georgetown. We are — Georgetown.”
“Yes we can! Yes we can!”
Really fun chants. Duke didn’t stand a chance.
And the signs were really great ”The Exorcist - Part 2″ and ”Breathe if you hate Duke.” And on and on.
Georgetown has a really fun team to watch. We are tall, athletic and smart. We have depth. We are tough and we came to play. The Big East is the best conference in the land. Georgetown deserves it Top 10 ranking. Hoya Saxa. Where else can you go to a college basketball game; get to shake hands with POTUS; have an animated discussion with the nation’s VP at halftime; and then help to raise money from the fans to build a school in Darfur?? My family and I decided to match whatever funds were raised at the game and I believe we hit that magic number so we had a double bottom line day. We did well and we did good! I am proud to live in our Nation’s capital. I am proud to be alum of Georgetown University.
