Okay, so, I wanted to mess around and dig up the roster for the 1985 Georgetown Hoyas basketball team. It was a fun little project to kill some time. Here’s how I did it.
First, I hit up a search engine. I just typed in “1985 Georgetown Hoyas basketball roster.”
After that, I started clicking through the search results. This was the usual stuff: sports websites, fan pages, you name it. There was a lot of info to sort through, but I was determined.
Then, I made sure to cross-check the data I found. It’s easy to get mixed up with similar years, especially with a team like Georgetown that had so many good seasons. I compared info from multiple websites to make sure everything was accurate.
Here’s what I eventually pieced together:
The Coaches
- Head Coach: John Thompson. This was his 13th season with the Hoyas.
The Players
- I found names like Martin, Smith, Wolf, Brown, Dalton, Jackson, Dairsow, Morris, Ewing, Graham, Williams, Wingate, and Broadnax.
- Ewing was a big name, as expected.
- I saw that four players from this team were drafted into the NBA.
The Games
- They played in the NCAA Division I.
- They had home games at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland.
- One game that stood out was on November 23, 1984, where they beat Hawaii-Hilo 81-47. Martin was the leading scorer.
So, after all that digging, I had a pretty good picture of the 1985 Georgetown Hoyas roster and their season. It was a bit of a nostalgic trip, and I learned a good bit about the team. That’s it.
