Hoya supporter

When Brendan Gaughan was at California Speedway, the Georgetown University graduate and once a guard on the men's basketball team had yet to see his team play this season. At all.
He is making up for lost time today.
Gaughan is going to Georgetown's regional final game against North Carolina today at the Meadowlands at East Rutherford, N.J.
It is Georgetown's first trip to the Elite Eight since 1996, when Gaughan was a member of the team.
"When you think of the all the storied programs in the NCAA, Georgetown and UNC are part of that – and they are definitely no stranger to each other,” said Gaughan, the driver of the No. 77 South Point Chevrolet in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. “It’s always a big game when they play."
Gaughan said he is surprised it's been so long since Georgetown has advanced this far in the NCAA tournament. The Hoyas played the University of Massachusetts in 1996.
"It’s pretty amazing to think that the last time the Hoyas were in the Elite Eight that I was part of the team on the court," Gaughan said. "Last time we were there, it wasn’t a very good run. We got beat by UMass.
“This time, we’re going to get the Hoyas back into the Final Four. I’m looking forward to a good game.”
After the game, Gaughan will head to Martinsville Speedway to prepare for the Truck Series race.
“I’m getting ready to get on a plane with my buddy who is my traveling mate for all the big Georgetown games,” Gaughan said. “We’re going to cheer on the Hoyas on Sunday, and then I’ll head to Martinsville for work next week.”
