Washington, DC--

As halftime of today's Georgetown Hoyas game approached, you knew it was going to be a special one with the celebration of 100 years of Georgetown Basketball, but by the end of the game it was even more special as the Hoyas celebrated with a birthday bashing of Marquette, 76-58.

"Last night I seriously couldn't sleep. I stayed up and watched some old Georgetown games," said Roy Hibbert, whose viewing including the 1985 classic in which coach John Thompson wore a striped sweater to match St. John's coach Lou Carnesecca's lucky sweater. "I look back at those games and I'm like, 'Wow, I get the chance to put on this jersey and represent Georgetown.' I was anxious for this game."

Hibbert led the Hoyas to their seventh straight victory with 23 points 11 rebounds.

The Golden Eagles opened the game on a poor 3 for 14 from the field, which allowd the Hoyas to control the tempo of the game early and often as they went to the locker room with a 28-26 lead at the half.

Starting the second half, the Hoyas came alive behind Jeff Green who hit a huge three pointer starting a 23-5 game-ending run. Marquette trailed by only one, 53-52, after Jerel McNeal's 3-pointer with 7:29 remaining, but the Golden Eagles made only one field goal and four free throws the rest of the game.

"It's a great feeling to win today and grab a piece of history along side of the people who made Georgetown Basketball what it is today. Roy and Jeff continued to step up in the second half of the games as they have done all season long," said Hoyas Head Coach John Thompson III.

At a halftime ceremony, the Hoyas unveiled the all-century team that included Ewing, Eric "Sleepy" Floyd, Michael Jackson, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson and many others. However, there was one person left out whom the school owes its national basketball relevance, Hall of Fame coach John Thompson. Thompson kinda giggled after the ceremony and said he would leave that to Barnum and Bailey.... We like the circus that Georgetown Basketball has offered over the years, but we also were not honored at halftime either.
