The 2006–07 season marked the centennial of Hoya hoops, which was celebrated by honoring some of the team's most famous alumni at the Georgetown-Marquette game on February 10, 2007.

The team was led by juniors, forward Jeff Green, center Roy Hibbert, and point guard Jonathan Wallace.

Other regular players are Tyler Crawford, Jessie Sapp, and Patrick Ewing Jr. On March 3, 2007, the Hoyas won their first regular-season Big East Championship since 1989.

[5] In the next game, freshman forward DaJuan Summers scored in double digits for the first time in his college career with 17 points and Sapp contributed 14 in a win at Fairfield.

Their father, former Georgetown head coach John Thompson Jr., called the meeting a "stupid" idea, and he attended the game wearing a neutral black ballcap with a "T" embroidered on its front, barely expressing emotion as Georgetown defeated Ball State 69-54 in a one-sided contest in which Jeff Green scored 14 points, DaJuan Summers scored 12, and freshman forward Vernon Macklin contributed 10 points.

"[7] But the rematch between the brothers was not to be, because by the time the teams met again a year later, Billy Taylor had replaced Ronny Thompson as Ball State's head coach.

Although Jonathan Wallace scored 17 points, the Ducks overcame their own poor shooting to defeat Georgetown in Oregon's first win in eight tries over a Top 25 team in a game played on the United States East Coast.

[9] After the back-to-back losses to Oregon and Duke, Georgetown's record stood at 4-3, and the Hoyas fell out of the Top 25, not to return for two months.

It began with a win over James Madison on December 5 in which Jeff Green – who had scored in double digits only once in the previous five games – had 17 points and five assists, Jessie Sapp scored 15 points, Jonathan Wallace contributed 14 points, and Georgetown – which had gone a collective 3-for-23 (11.5 percent) from three-point range against Oregon and Duke – tied the school record for three-pointers when junior forward Patrick Ewing Jr., a newcomer to the team, hit the Hoyas′ 16th three-pointer of the game with 3:56 left to play, tying the 16 scored at Davidson in November 2004.

[15] Other highlights of the streak included a 70-percent Georgetown team shooting performance from the floor during the second half of the Winston-Salem State game[14] and the defeat of Michigan to close out December, which dealt the Wolverines their first loss in their last 14 nonconference games at Crisler Arena; Georgetown shot 23-for-44 (52.3%), becoming only the second team at the time to shoot better than 50 percent against Michigan.

[15] Marc Egerson left the team for "personal reasons" (he later transferred to Delaware)[16] before Georgetown, with a 10-3 record and a six-game winning streak, opened its Big East season with a game against No.

Notre Dame closed to an 11-point deficit by halftime, but the Hoyas went on a 14-0 run early in the second half that pushed their lead to 29 points.

[18] The loss left Georgetown with a 1-2 conference record, but the Hoyas were destined to lose only two more games during the entire remaining season and postseason combined.

22, riding a six-game winning streak, and celebrating the 100th anniversary of its basketball program – including a halftime ceremony in which it honored its "all-century team," which included Patrick Ewing, Eric "Sleepy" Floyd, Michael Jackson, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, and Allen Iverson – on February 10 when the Hoyas faced No.

The Hoyas shot 58 percent from the floor and outrebounded West Virginia 35-19, outscoring the Mountaineers 17-0 during one stretch in the first half to jump out to a double-digit lead they never relinquished.

[28] In the next game, Jeff Green had 19 points and DaJuan Summers had 11 in a tight victory over Villanova that required Georgetown to come from a 37-29 deficit to eke out a 58-55 win.

[32][33] In the final game of the season, Georgetown bounced back, beating Connecticut to win the Big East regular-season championship for the first time since 1989.

Villanova attempted a comeback, finishing a 14-2 run with 5:29 elapsed in the second half to close to a ten-point deficit, but then the Hoyas increased their lead to 17.

The Fighting Irish jumped out to a 37-21 lead with 7:37 left in the first half, but Georgetown went on a 10-2 run and reduced Notre Dame's advantage to 46-44 at halftime.

Wallace and Hibbert then scored on consecutive jump shots to put the Hoyas back in front, 80-78, and Summers stretched the lead to 82-79 by sinking two free throws.

Notre Dame guard Russell Carter′s three-pointer missed with six seconds left, and Jonathan Wallace grabbed the rebound and heaved the ball down the court to preserve the Hoyas′ 84-82 win, their fourth consecutive victory over the Fighting Irish.

[40] In the second round, Georgetown faced seventh-seed Boston College, a former Big East rival, in a very physical game.

During the final minute and a half, the Hoyas drew fouls and made critical free throws to come away with a 62-55 win.

[41][42] In the East Regional semifinals – their second consecutive appearance in the "Sweet Sixteen" – the Hoyas faced sixth-seeded Vanderbilt, a team Georgetown had defeated early in the season.

But Jeff Green spoiled Vanderbilt's upset bid when he took five steps and then banked in an off-balance shot with 2.5 seconds left to give Georgetown a 66-65 victory.

Georgetown jumped out to a 22-17 lead with 13:43 left in the first half, but the Tar Heels had reduced the deficit to 22-20 when a technical foul on John Thompson III for walking out of the coaching box allowed North Carolina to tie the game at 22-22 with two free throws.

Georgetown had closed to six points behind when North Carolina's Deon Thompson tipped in a two-pointer to give the Tar Heels a 73-65 lead with 9:53 left in the second half.

The Hoyas meanwhile chipped away at the lead until Jonathan Wallace tied the game at 81-81 with a three-point jumper with 32 seconds left in the half.

Ohio State won 67-60, advancing to the national championship game for the first time since 1962 and bringing Georgetown's season to an end.
