About this trail:
A look at one of the top teams in the 2007 tournament, a university well known for its big men, including ewing and mourning, as well as a little man, allen iverson.
It must have been the shoes. Second-seeded Georgetown trailed by eight points at halftime in the Sweet Sixteen of its NCAA Tournament game against Vanderbilt on Friday night at Continental Airlines Arena. The Hoyas, who were wearing brand new gray Nike sneakers, changed back to their old shoes during the break, erased the deficit and junior forward Jeff Green (Hyattsville, Md./Northwestern) banked in a jumper with 2.5 seconds left to give the Hoyas a thrilling 66-65 win over the Commodores.

The Hoyas have had high hopes for the current basketball season:
The 2006-07 Hoyas are led by a pair of Preseason All Big East big men, forward Jeff Green and center Roy Hibbert. These juniors, along with junior starting point guard Jonathan Wallace, will provide the Hoyas with veteran leadership.

The Hoyas looked to be peaking when Sapp picked off a Vanderbilt pass with 2:04 and was fouled on the basket, but he missed the free throw, and Vandy was fouled on the far end, where Ross Neltner made one of two free throws, to close to 62-61. Jon Wallace answered with a jumper, 64-61, but Derrick Byars and Dan Cage were fouled on consecutive possessions, hitting 4-4 from the line to take the lead, 65-64 with :17 left. With the ball inside to Green, he was double covered and nearly lost the ball. Twisting to the basket, he his the shot with 2.5 seconds left. In the rush, Vanderbilt did not call one of its two remaining time outs, and a half court shot was deflected by Sapp in the most thrilling finish for Georgetown game since the Jan. 21, 2006 game with Duke.
