American college basketball season March 2026 August 2023 basketball 1966-67 Georgetown Hoyas Georgetown Hoyas logo.svg Independent 12–11 John Magee 1st Bob Reese 1st Jim Lyddy McDonough Gymnasium Kodak Classic Champions The 1966–67 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1966–67 NCAA University Division college basketball season. John Magee coached them in his first season as head coach. The team was an independent and played its home games at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C. After the departure of Georgetown head coach Tommy O'Keefe at the end of the previous season, no college head coach or assistant coach applied for the job. Boston College head coach Bob Cousy recommended Magee, the head coach of Catholic Memorial School in Boston, Massachusetts. Georgetown hired Magee, who would go on to coach the Hoyas for six seasons.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/coaches/bb-coach.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: Head Coaches 2013-12-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20170527235527/http://www.hoyabasketball.com/coaches/bb-coach.htm 2017-05-27 dead Season recap Junior guard Dennis Cesar, an expert in shooting free throws, shot 12-for-16 from the field at Canisius. In the two games of the Kodak Classic in late December 1966, he scored a combined 40 points against Purdue and Dartmouth. Shortly after that, he had a 28-point game against Saint Peter's. A shoulder injury reduced his performance later in the year but did not stop him from scoring in double figures in all but two games this season.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/features/top100/d_cesar.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: The Top 100: 54.

He had played for George Mason University the previous season, but George Mason's men's basketball program did not receive National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recognition until 1967, so White retained the then-maximum three years of NCAA varsity eligibility when he joined the Hoyas.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/players/alltime-w.htm#bernardwhite The Georgetown Basketball History Project: Bernard White 2013-12-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20131224105057/http://www.hoyabasketball.com/players/alltime-w.htm#bernardwhite 2013-12-24 dead SourceThe Georgetown Basketball History Project: Player Directory: Jersey Numbershttp://www.hoyabasketball.com/features/top100/b_stinebrickner.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: The Top 100: 63.
