Big East Champs!

Congratulations to the Georgetown men's basketball team as they won their second consecutive Big East regular season championship today. And they won it like they've won so many this season - by giving mini heart attacks to their fans in the last few minutes. The atmosphere in the Verizon Center was absolutely electric. (And fair play to the Louisville fans in attendance - you were very vocal, as well. But you still lost).

I can't stress how good it is to see such fan support for the squad. There is a sense of school pride that simply didn't exist during the "dry years" when I attended Georgetown. But as the banner hanging off of Healy says: "Georgetown Forever." We can all celebrate. Now time to take the tournament in the Big Apple.
