Big expectations followed Georgetown into the 1995-1996 season, and a Top 5 preseason ranking backed them up. A lot of that buzz traced back to Allen Iverson, back for his sophomore year.
John Thompson's Hoyas weren't a one-man team, though. Jerome Williams, Victor Paige, Othella Harrington and Jahidi White all shared the load.
Conference play ended at 13-5, good enough to win the Big 7 division of the BIG EAST and reach the BIG EAST Tournament Championship Game against UConn, a matchup that turned into an instant classic.
In the NCAA Tournament the Hoyas were the 3 seed in the South. Mississippi Valley State and New Mexico fell first, then Georgetown erased a 3 point halftime deficit to beat Texas Tech 98-90 and reach the Elite 8.
A loss to #1 UMass closed out the career of one of college basketball's best. Iverson finished the year averaging 25-4-5, a consensus 1st Team All-American and two-time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year.
