Hoyas to Make Final Four in ’08?

There are a bunch of people with opinions about which teams will get to the Final Four next year, and one of them is the Georgetown Hoyas, who, if you will remember, made the Final Four last year. The one knock about Georgetown is a big one. They lost their number one player from last season, Jeff Green. Green was one of the cogs in both their offense and defense, and will be sorely missed.

The good thing is that most of the rest of their team will remain in tact. In fact, Roy Hibbert, Jonathan Wallace, DaJuan Summers and Vernon Macklin will all be returning, and there is nothing better in the college hoops world than a team full of experienced Final Four players. Just ask the Florida Gators.

ESPN has the Georgetown Hoyas ranked as the number five team for ’08, which is a bit better than I would have ranked them. Still, the Hoyas and the UCLA Bruins will return players that made up the bulk of their teams, minus their biggest stars respectively. In college, I would argue that the team as a whole is more important to a successful program than any individual star. If you agree, you can get Georgetown Hoyas basketball tickets at StubHub.com.
