out of fear for their safety in the face of a hostile crowd; 38 years later, the result of the meeting was an easy 87-55 Hoya victory. During the winning streak, Hibbert had 23 points and eight rebounds in a come-from-behind win against William and Mary, 12 points against Michigan in a game that began with Georgetown pulling out to a 43-19 lead, 16 points and seven rebounds against Ball State, his first double-double of the season (14 points and 10 rebounds) in 24 minutes of play at Old Dominion, and 14 points, nine rebounds, and five blocked shots against Alabama. Over the same stretch, Jonathan Wallace had 15 points against William & Mary, 13 points against Fairfield, and 11 points against Alabama, while Jessie Sapp scored 18 points against William & Mary and 12 points each against Michigan and Alabama. DaJuan Summers had 10 points against William & Mary, 16 points against Fairfield, 18 points against Alabama, and 14 against Jacksonville. Freshman guards Chris Wright and Austin Freeman also showed their potential as their college careers began: Wright scored 10 points against Michigan and 14 against Jacksonville, while Freeman had 10 points against Michigan, 11 points at Old Dominion, 15 against Jacksonville, and 21 points in a very physical 110-51 blow-out of Radford in which Georgetown shot 65 percent from the field for the game and 71 percent in the second half, scoring 100 or more points for the first time since John Thompson III became head coach in 2004. Sophomore guard Jeremiah Rivers came off the bench to have an outstanding defensive performance and five assists in the Fairfield game. After opening 8-0, Georgetown faced its first ranked opponent of the season on December 22, visiting No. 2 Memphis, the winner of 36 straight home games. The Hoyas led by as many as eight points in the first half – the last time was 35-27 with 4:40 left in the half – but the Tigers then began to make shots more consistently and came back to take a 41-40 lead with 40 seconds left in the first half and a 43-40 lead at halftime. In the second half, Memphis missed 11 of its first 12 shots and Georgetown took a 46-45 lead with 15:40 left in the game, but the Tigers, who dominated Georgetown in second-half rebounds, then went on a 9-0 run to lead 54-46 with 12:18
