Hoya Fans:
The Hoyas return home this Saturday, coming off their thrilling 91-87 overtime win over the Indiana Hoosiers in Madison Square Garden, their first ranking in the AP Poll this season, and a tough loss before a raucous crowd at Xavier on New Year’s Eve. The Hoyas now have two huge BIG EAST home games at Verizon Center!
Creighton Bluejays: Saturday, January 3 (tipoff at 4:30 p.m. ET). Please note that this is the second annual Men Against Breast Cancer game, and all fans in the 100 and 200 sections of Verizon Center will receive a free Georgetown Men Against Breast Cancer t-shirt!
Marquette Golden Eagles: Tuesday, January 6 (tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET).
Hoya Hoop Club members showed up in droves to Madison Square Garden and loudly cheered the Hoyas onto victory. We need to do the same thing on our home court, so please come out to Verizon Center and be vocal supporters of your Georgetown Hoyas for their first two BIG EAST home games of the season!
