With Adrion out, senior forward and team captain Jim Supple, who scored in double figures in 18 of the 23 games he appeared in during the season, stepped up his scoring production: He averaged 20 points per game after Adrions injury, led the team in scoring in six of the last seven games of the year, and finished the season averaging 16.5 points per game.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/features/top100/j_supple.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: The Top 100: 57.

After going 10–5 in its first 15 games, it lost seven of its last ninehttp://www.hoyabasketball.com/history/hist14.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: A Glimpse Into the Future 2013-12-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20131217035644/http://www.hoyabasketball.com/history/hist14.htm 2013-12-17 dead to finish with a record of 12–12.
