Once More, Part 2

October 25, 2007

Last week's Midnight Madness in McDonough Memorial Gymnasium kicked off the new hoop season in a joyous and celebratory fashion not unlike the fervor of last season's final weeks.

With the first game of the men's hoop season a mere two weeks away, this posting continues the photographic review of the Hoyas' March Madness run through the post-season (the first installment from the Big East tournament is linked below).

A room full of Hoyas at Leo's

When the Hoyas returned to campus from New York City as the Big East champs, they awaited the NCAA selection show that would announce the tournament brackets and the road Georgetown would have to travel to Atlanta. Assembling on Sunday afternoon in Leo's (as the campus dining hall has been pithily dubbed), the team joined with family, friends, and fans to watch the television broadcast of the show. Nervous energy and anticipation filled the room. When the results were revealed, cheers and smiles abounded: a Thursday matchup in Winston-Salem against Belmont University.
