[2]Georgetown

Big East at-large

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The Hoyas are tough on defense and poised in close games -- two of the hallmarks of last year's run to the Final Four. Georgetown led the nation in field goal percentage defense (.363) and was 6-0 in regular season games decided by three points or fewer. Hibbert, Wallace, Sapp and Summers -- all starters in last year's tournament -- have made game-winning shots. A Big East final loss to Pitt offers caution.
