a 51-44 lead with 6:37 left from which the Hoyas never recovered. Ohio State won 67-60, advancing to the national championship game for the first time since 1962 and bringing Georgetown's season to an end. For the season, Roy Hibbert shot 67.1 percent from the field and finished with 12.9 points per game, while Jonathan Wallace shot 50.7 percent from the field overall and 49.0 percent from three-point range, averaging 11.4 points per game. DaJuan Summers averaged 9.2 and Jessie Sapp 9.1 points per game. Jeff Green, sometimes criticized for being too unselfish with the ball and not shooting enough, nonetheless finished the season shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three-point range, averaging a team-leading 14.2 points per game. Selected as the 2007 Big East Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year, Jeff Green opted to forego his senior year of college and entered the National Basketball Association draft; he was drafted by the Boston Celtics, who traded him to the Seattle SuperSonics. After the season, Assistant Coach Sydney Johnson left the team to become the head coach at Princeton University. Assistant Coach Kevin Broadus also left to become the head coach at SUNY-Binghamton. Sophomore forward Octavius Spann announced in May that he would leave Georgetown and transfer to Marshall. Georgetown finished the season ranked No. 8 in the Associated Press Poll and No.4 in the Coaches Poll, the team's highest finish in the AP Poll since 1996 and highest in the Coaches Poll since 1989. It was the best season of John Thompson III's 13-year tenure as Georgetown's head coach. In his remaining nine seasons at the helm, the Hoyas would appear in the NCAA tournament six more times, but would win only three NCAA tournament games, and never would advance beyond the tournament's first weekend. Roster After sitting out a season following his transfer to Georgetown from Indiana, junior forward Patrick Ewing Jr., the son of Patrick Ewing, joined the team this season. He became only the second son of a former player to play for Georgetown, and the first to do so since Ed Hargaden Jr. – the son of Ed Hargaden, Georgetown's first All-American and star of the 1932-33, 1933-34, and 1934-35 teams – played during the 1957-58, 1958-59, and 1959-60 seasons.
