Stadium:
McDonough Gymnasium
McDonough Gymnasium is a multi-purpose arena in Washington, D.C. The arena opened in 1951 and holds 2,500 people. It was home to the Georgetown University Hoyas men's basketball team before they moved to Capital Centre. The team continues to play a handful of preseason and non-conference games at the gym against lesser-known opponents each year. Excepting a single NIT game in 2005, no games against well-known opponents have been held at McDonough since 1983. (Under the old sanction of the NIT, schools in the tournament were to play games on campus or at campus-owned facilities. Georgetown's men usually play at the Verizon Center, which is neither on campus nor owned by the school, so they would play such "mandated" games at the facility. Currently, the arena hosts the women's basketball and volleyball teams.

Team History:
Rowing at Georgetown has a distinguished history. Indeed, Georgetown's current University Colors have their origin in the founding of the university's Boat Club in 1876, which deemed Blue and Gray "appropriate colors for the [Boat] Club and expressive of the feeling of unity between the Northern and Southern boys of the College." The colors were enshrined on a blue and gray banner, emblazoned with the Latin "Ocior Euro," or "Swifter Than the Wind," which the girls of Georgetown Visitation School presented to the Boat Club. From the start Georgetown's rowing team raced against the likes of Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Cornell and Wisconsin.

Season Preview:
Georgetown forward Jeff Green has decided to keep his name in the NBA draft and forgo his senior season, the school announced on Monday. Green, the Big East Player of the Year during the Hoyas' run to this year's Final Four, has been going back and forth the last few weeks trying to decide whether to remain in the draft. While most teams have Green ranked anywhere from the fifth pick to No. 12 in the draft, the lure of returning to Georgetown for his senior season and competing for a national championship was tempting. However, a source told ESPN.com that, at the end of the day Green got advice from numerous sources that his draft position was too good to bypass.
