 WASHINGTON (AP) - Coach John Thompson III was nervous about being a "goat" on a historic weekend. Georgetown celebrated the 100th anniversary of Hoyas basketball Saturday, with Patrick Ewing and scores of other former players in town for a fancy gala and other events.
Somewhere among it all, the present day Hoyas had a huge game to play, and the 22nd-ranked team came through with a 76-58 win over No. 11 Marquette.
"It makes the event we're having tonight a lot easier to show up to," Thompson III said. "That was the main thing I was thinking — I'm not going to be the goat tonight if we lose."
