Big thanks to ESPNU and the Athletic Department for coordinating this, and Hoya Blue VP Nick Sementelli (lurking somewhere around here) and board member Pete Keszler (HoyaSinceBirth) for working with the AD to put together a list of games.

Special thanks to the HoyaTalk board for the "Georgetown Library" thread that inspired our choices and the geniuses behind hoyabasketball.com. We young whipper-snappers are grateful for your perspective on the Georgetown basketball canon.

Side note: We know that there are a number of games that are left off here. We had to work within the confines of what was available at ESPNU, hence no NCAA games. The initial list of games we sent to ESPNU had 43 games listed, obviously not all of them were included. Our apologies, but that's the nature of the beast.

Wow. Time to get some new DVDs for burning.

[Boz]

Now if only I got ESPNU.

Very impressive nonetheless.

Great work!

[LizziebethHoya]

This is just absolutely beautiful.

4am: 2001 Georgetown at South Carolina


I am drawing a blank on the above game. I think I was abroad. Was this a good win at the time?

Braswell hit a buzzer beater (link).

Sure wish I got ESPNU, although I'd probably have to buy another hard drive if I did.

[DFW HOYA]

Hey, where's 2003 Georgetown at Cornell?

[SoCalHoya]

Boo for me not having ESPNU.

[SirSaxa]

That's pretty cool.
Great taping opportunity.
And fantastic opportunity for young Hoya fans to soak in some history!

Need that.

11am 1985 BET Final vs. St. John's

Got it.

2pm: 1985 Georgetown at St. John's

Got it.

7pm: 1996 Georgetown at Notre Dame

Got it. Perhaps ND's first year in the BE. Iverson had a crazy dunk over one tall player.

9pm: 1996 UConn vs. Georgetown

Got it.

11pm: 1994 Memphis vs. Georgetown

Got it. Game played in Toronto of the '04-05 season. Hoyas pulled out a win in overtime.

1am: 1990 Georgetown at Villanova

I must have this. Just can't remember it.

3am: 1989 St. John's vs. Georgetown

Got it. Mutombo broke a single-game record for shot bocks I believe.

Got it.

10am: 1989 Syracuse vs. Georgetown

Got it. First Mourning-Owens matchup.

12pm: 2008 Syracuse vs. Georgetown

Why?

1:30pm: 2008 Georgetown at West Virginia

6:30pm: 2001 Syracuse vs. Georgetown

Got it.

8:30pm: 2007 BET Semifinal Notre Dame vs. Georgetown

Got it.

10pm: 1985 Georgetown at St. John's

Got it.

Its a solid selection. Still I wish they had suggested some Reggie Williams games (when he was THE star of the team) or perhaps some early ESPN games with Sleepy Floyd. Also in the future if HoyaBlue or anyone else associated with the school is going to give a list of suggestions PLEASE INCLUDE the first two Big-East ACC Chalenge games involving the Hoyas. The first was a win against UNC in the Meadowlands (lost my copy of it) and the second was a victory against Duke at US Air Arena.

[SirSaxa]

MCI, you are going to have to open a Georgetown basketball museum!

[SirSaxa]

Have you made sure your Estate will pass all these videos, notes and info on to the Hoya Hoop program? Or maybe to DFW Hoya to share?

[Big Dog]

Where's the NIT game against Virginia?

And why not the 2007 BET title game? Who cares if it was a blowout?

We should also work with MASN or somebody to do a "48 Hours of Esherick"--it could be recorded onto a DVD and assigned as viewing for all incoming freshmen prior to their arrival on campus.

There are not that many interesting wins from the JTIII era that were broadcast on an ESPN network so an overtime win versus Cuse and a very exciting finish @ WVU kinda help fill the quota, although they weren't the prettiest of games.

I really hope I can record the games from these two days

Every win over Cuse is a good one and fun to watch again.

And the Ewing block to close out the WVU game?!?!
Gotta see that again. And watch Huggy Bear fuming off the court.

Admittedly, it was a very close call.
But after those millions or replays, slo-mos and all, it still isn't clear what the call should have been. Given that, it would have been a huge error to call anything at all. Letting it go was the best non-call there could be.

[chep3]

How could they play any JTIII era games without playing Duke and UNC? Those have to be the two greatest wins in his tenure so far.

Those were CBS broadcasted games, so I guess if CSTV (or whatever its called now) ever does something similar those two can be put in

Exactly. There was a long list of NCAA games we wanted to see, but they're not under the auspices of ESPNU.

[youngjeezy]

i'm guessing when we beat duke in '06 it was CBS?

Oh yeah, I clearly remember Billy and Jim doing the game.
