How do you come together as a group? How do you come to grips with that? Where do you go from there?
I think it goes without saying that what this season is about supersedes wins and losses, stats, championships, etc. The team went from Butts' memorial service in Milledgeville, Georgia on November 4th, to playing their first game of the season less than two days later back in D.C. Butts, a beloved member of the basketball community at large, was a lightning rod for positivity and brought a new level of excitement and an edge to a program looking to rebuild. First year Head Coach, Tasha Butts, passed away due to cancer shortly before the season started after taking a medical leave of absence. It's difficult to even quantify what this season and this start means as a whole for the Hoyas and anyone associated with the program. The Georgetown Hoyas are 9-1 as they near the end of their non-conference slate, their best start to a season since 2011-12.
