A dejected and reflective John Thompson III watched reporters pack up their things and prepare to leave, as the post-game press conference was over. The Hoyas were just dealt an 81-67 loss to their rivals, the Villanova Wildcats, who had knocked them out of the 2016 Big East Tournament.
With a 15-18 record, Georgetown wasn't in consideration for any postseason tournaments. It was over.
Flanked by 7-foot center Bradley Hayes and Georgetown's leading man, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Thompson kept everyone back in their seats as he made one last address for the season and publicly thanked both players for their time at Georgetown in a requiem of sorts.
