The Georgetown Hoyas are in GREENER Pastures with JEFF as Old School College Basketball returns

Yep, the Hoyas are back. Time to let the dogs out again.

Jeff Green, the talented forward of the Georgetown Hoyas, is bringing ''Hoya Paranoia'' so to speak, back. Yep, it seems the Hoyas are bringing back the style of basketball that propelled the school atop the NCAA College Basketball food chain some years ago, SLAMMING BODIES AND LOW SCORING GAMES.

And yeah, Jeff Green sure played a big part in all of this. But with a Ewing playing in a Georgetown Hoyas jersey while a Thompson watches in the Hoyas bench, the images of the Georgetown championship basketball teams has definitely began to materialize.

Patrick Ewing Jr. is a 6'8'', 238-pound junior who wears his father's no.33 at the back of his gray Georgetown Hoyas jersey. Only time will tell if this Ewing can be as great as his father was when the Hall of Famer was electrifying Madison Square Garden in a New York Knicks uniform.

Of course, just like the old days, a Ewing's journey towards superstardom will be guided by a coach Thomson. Imagine that. John Thompson III, son of the former Georgetown coach, has the opportunity of guiding a Ewing big man to the top, just like his dad some years ago.

Wait, you haven't forgotten all about Jeff Green now haven't you?

Georgetown has won 11 straight games in this year's NCAA College Basketball season before losing to Syracuse. And that's thanks to Jeff Green, Georgetown's key for the coming March Madness bracket battles.

Forward Jeff Green, a 6-foot-9 junior from Hyattsville, Md., is a throw-back player, who seemingly doesn't do anything exceptionally well and yet does everything for Georgetown.

Going into Saturday's game, Green didn't rank among the Big East's top 15 scorers. He isn't among the league leaders in rebounds, assists or steals. But when the conference hands out its hardware in a couple of weeks, Green should be the Big East player of the year. There isn't a more valuable or versatile player in the college basketball's biggest league.

''Jeff Green is a basketball player and when you start trying to label him, saying he's a big guy or a small guy, all of a sudden he does something the opposite of what you are saying,'' Georgetown Hoyas head coach John Thompson III said. ''He is a basketball player and he is comfortable anywhere on the court.''

Can the Georgetown Hoyas win the NCAA College Basketball championship? Here are some odds from Bodog sportsbook.

Florida Gators 9/2
