FILE - In this Jan. 19, 2015 file photo, Georgetown head coach John Thompson III directs his team during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Villanova, in Washington.

So even if the faces have changed, and history does not dictate what happens now, with fourth-seeded Georgetown's South Region opener against 13th-seeded Eastern Washington at Portland, Oregon.
