Butler at #6??? Someone didn't do his homework.

Or.... he's the only one that did

Didn't want to start a new thread, but I found this interesting:

Asked about his expectations for Georgetown this season, senior guard Markel Starks did not need any time to ponder the question.

''Well, obviously, to get out of this hole,'' he replied immediately. ''This NCAA hole.''

Standing in Georgetown's on-campus practice gym, Starks gestured with his right hand toward banners representing the Hoyas' most recent trips to the national tournament. There's one for 2007, with ''Final Four'' written at the bottom. Next to it, there's one for 2008, with no words underneath. Then come signs for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 - all devoid of any words denoting a lengthy run.

Over the last four years, coach John Thompson III and Georgetown have won a grand total of one NCAA tournament game. The latest early exit came against No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast last season, a key motivator for the Hoyas this season.
