Georgetown's first intercollegiate men's basketball team was formed in 1907, and John Thompson III, son of the accomplished Hoyas coach John Thompson, is the current head coach.

"The sound level at a Georgetown Hoyas game is nice. When I watched Georgetown Hoyas play live, I was amazed at how romantic it can be! The community cold beers at the Georgetown Hoyas game are worth every penny. Georgetown Hoyas minimally take care of their fans!"
