Horace Broadnax is no stranger to joining a great basketball team. As a freshman at Georgetown in 1982, he played on the Patrick Ewing-led Hoyas that were coming off a title game appearance.

Georgetown (2-0) pulled out a close game at the end in a 46-45 win over Temple (1-1) in front of 8,712 fans at Verizon Center thanks to Greg Monroe's offensive and defensive efforts.

To accommodate ESPN’s coverage, Georgetown will play host to Temple for a 4 p.m. tip-off. Tuesday afternoon is primetime for class meetings, and it is unclear how many students will be able to make it to the arena.

NEW ORLEANS — It was not the greatest performance, but for a season opener on the road, Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III was satisfied with the 74-58 victory.

NEW ORLEANS — Georgetown’s season opener against Tulane was hyped as the homecoming of Greg Monroe, and the sophomore center more than lived up to his star billing. Yet it was the Hoyas other two post players — second-year forwards Julian Vaughn and Henry Sims — that showed the biggest improvement in their new roles.

Georgetown's men's basketball team opens their season tonight in New Orleans, La. against Tulane. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:20 p.m. Check THE HOYA's live blog as the No. 20 Hoyas take on the Green Wave.

Georgetown’s season opener at Tulane tonight has been almost as highly anticipated on campus as the end of midterms and Thanksgiving break combined.

Coming off of last year’s 16-15 season, there are plenty of questions surrounding Georgetown, but if the Hoyas hope to return to the top of the Big East, they will need to do a better job on the boards.

Whether or not the Hoyas can significantly improve on last year’s 16-15 record depends almost as much on the emerging roles filled by the other two players on the floor.

The Hoya will be live blogging tonight's Midnight Madness festivities. Kevin Wessel and Ryan Travers are on hand to keep you up to date on all the excitement.
