WASHINGTON - When the Georgetown University men's basketball team traveled to China this past summer, the Hoyas went with a videographer who documented the trip, from start to finish. The end product of that historic 11-day trip can now be seen by all as the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) will air "From the Baseline" on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.

Produced by the Georgetown Athletics Department and Futureview, Inc., "From the Baseline" provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Hoyas trip. It documents the team from its departure at Georgetown to touring in China at Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall of China, as well as coverage of the four games the team played.

"From the Baseline' provides a unique view on the historic trip to China taken by the Georgetown men's basketball team," Associate Athletics Director Dan O'Neil said. "The trip provided intercultural exchange as well as terrific basketball competition and this thrilling video showcases those points. Fans and friends of Georgetown basketball will have a front row seat."

"We are thrilled to partner with Georgetown University to give Hoya fans a unique perspective and behind-the-scenes look from the team's trip to China," Executive Vice-President of Programming for MASN Jim Cuddihy said.

The show will re-air on Monday, Nov. 14 (9 p.m.), Thursday, Nov. 17 (10 a.m.), Wednesday, Nov. 23 (9 p.m.), Saturday, Nov. 26 (8 p.m.) and Tuesday, Nov. 29 (10 a.m.).

I beleive the Maui special airs tomorrow ESPNU @ 7:30 PM. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

Yes the first of the 4 part Maui series is tomorrow at 7:30. It seems like each episode will be a mix of all 4 teams rather than each episode being on an individual team, but I'm not positive on that. Guess Hoya fans will have to put their DVRs to good use tomorrow.

Gotta love MASN for showing a devastating loss immediately following the documentary on the China trip.

Thanks guys.

[KennaHoya]

I agree - wouldn't the 1984 Championship Game against Houston be a better fit?

WHICH LOSS

[HoyaSinceBirth]

They're showing the 1982 championship loss to UNC after the Documentary.

I understand when ESPN Classic shows that game. I get it.

But MASN is showing classic Hoya games. I really think that they should only show wins. I assume that most Hoya fans tuning in for a classic Georgetown game would prefer to see a W.

[Boz]

Nah, I disagree. Well, somewhat.

Granted, if MASN ever shows the 1985 game, I am going to declare jihad on them.

But MASN generally shows wins for the most part. And the 1982 game kind of transcends winners and losers. It is still considered by most to be one of the greatest college basketball games ever.

(whereas 1985 is considered great just by everyone who hates Georgetown, and for the mythical "Cinderella" meme, which was never true in the first place).

The timing of it is bad, I agree with that part. A win should be shown after the documentary.

But even though it is a heartbreaking loss, I don't think I ever mind seeing the 1982 game aired. Because, unlike ESPN Classic and the snotnose Syracuse alums who just want to show Hoyas losses to the Orange, when the 1982 game is aired, it is to display the very greatest of what college basketball can and should be.

At least, that's the way I choose to view it.

[kghoya]

MASN has shown a double OT loss to BC during Alonzo's senior year on more than one occasion. I really think it's inexcusable to show losses.

[EasyEd]

Has MASN ever shown the '84 semis or finals?

If they ever announce they are airing either of them, please let all know so they can be copied.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

I believe they have shown the Finals once last year. Don't think they've ever shown the semifinals. The bet game they tend to play is the 1984 BET win over Cuse. Which is an awesome game to show, but I do wish they'd show the 1984 Championship and Semi's win more if at all.

[hoyasaxa2003]

Unfortunately, Sports NY which usually has the MASN games, isn't showing this documentary (at least not tonight). They are showing the 2nd game the morning-after, though.

Shouldn't that read: "as well as coverage of the 3 1/2 games played?"

In any case, I have a great reason to take a mid-week trip out to the lake for the evening. I get MASN out there.

[LizziebethHoya]

First thought: Is there no narration? Its just the players and (occasionally) coach talking

I was at that game - it was amazing, even though the Hoyas lost. Alonzo was immense.

ooops NO SOUND HERE great video looked like good conversation but no sounds on my masn anybody else hear it?? the ads were loud but very little sound track the whole hour OUCH

[HoyaSinceBirth]

I had no problem with the sound lic.

I thought this was really good.

They did a good job showing the lead up to the fight.

Loved the scene of Nate haggling with the merchants.

Really Loved JT3's speech at the very end about giving 100% effort and playing until you're exhausted and that's the one thing they can always control. Really great speech and lots in there that the board has been hoping from this team and coach. Definitely pumped for the season!

[kghoya]

I thought that was great. Better than I expected.
