Hoyas Visit Vatican City and See Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica

Rome, Italy - Georgetown University Head Men’s Basketball Coach John Thompson said after the Hoyas win on Sunday night that, while he would be preparing for the team’s next game (on Tuesday), he was eagerly looking forward to seeing the Vatican.

On Monday morning, fresh off a 74-64 win over Haukar Basket in Rome, the Hoyas and their travel party hopped on buses just before 10 a.m. and arrived at Vatican, where the team was met by its guides, who provided a tour of the Vatican City State, the walled enclave that exists within the city of Rome.
