The Hoyas made a 7-0 run to end the half and trailed 48-43 at halftime. In the second half, Georgetown continued to close the gap until tying the score at 61-61 with 13:24 to play.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Notre Dame then made a 7-0 run of its own to lead 68-61, but Georgetown closed to a four-point deficit with eight minutes to play, to one point behind on a three pointer by freshman guard Drew Hall (who shot 3-for-3 from beyond the three-point line during the game), and tied the game again on a free throw with 7:29 to play. Over the rest of regulation, both teams played tough defense and shot a combined 3-for-20 (15.0%) from the field. Georgetown had an 84-82 lead when Notre Dame junior guard Matt Carroll sank a two-pointer to tie the score. When the Hoyas managed to stop a late Notre Dame rally, the game went into overtime.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
In overtime, Notre Dame built a lead, Georgetown caught up, the Fighting Irish took a lead again in the last two minutes, but the Hoyas surged back to tie the game. With 17 seconds left and Georgetown holding the ball for the final shot, Braswell brought the ball down the court, and instead of passing, chose to take a long shot that missed. The second overtime played out the same way, with Notre Dame taking the lead, Georgetown coming back, and Notre Dame again gaining the advantage with under two minutes left.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The Hoyas again tied the game and held the ball for the last shot, and Braswell again had the ball; this time he ignored chances to pass the ball inside to Sweetney and to freshman guard Tony Bethel and instead took a low-percentage 30-foot (9.1-meter) shot that missed. The pattern repeated itself in the third overtime; Notre Dame led, Georgetown closed, the Fighting Irish got the lead back in the final two minutes, and the Hoyas came back to tie and had the ball for the last shot. Notre Dame senior forward Ryan Humphrey blocked Gerald Riley's shot, deflecting it to Braswell, who launched a 20-foot (6.1-meter) shot that went through the basket just after the shot clock expired with less than seven-tenths of a second left to play.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
By the fourth overtime, Wilson had fouled out, junior center-forward and team co-captain Courtland Freeman had been injured, and Riley and Braswell soon also fouled out – Braswell leaving having shot only 5-for-19 (26.3%) from the field and 0-for-4 at three-point range, part of a slump in which he shot 2-for-17 (11.8%) in three-point attempts over a four-game stretch. The final blow to the tiring Hoyas came when Sweetney fouled out after a 35-point, 20-rebound performance, leaving Georgetown with only one of its starting five players still available to play.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Notre Dame, with its starters still on the floor, finally pulled away in the last minute to win, 116-111. The 60 minutes of play over the course of regulation and four overtimes had seen the two teams combined take 190 shots, grab 108 rebounds, and take 72 free throw shots, all while committing only 13 turnovers each.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The loss dropped Georgetown to 14-8 overall and 5-5 in the Big East, and in retrospect was a turning point in the Esherick era at Georgetown; in the previous 100 games, Esherick's teams had posted a 64-36 (.640) record, but after the loss the Hoyas went 37-33 (.529) under Esherick, who departed after the end of the 2003-04 season.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
A week later, Sweetney shot 11-for-15 (73.4%) from the field and scored 31 points at Villanova, but the rest of the team shot only 11-for-57 (19.3%) from the field as the Hoyas lost another overtime game, 83-72. After losing to Connecticut three days later, the Hoyas embarked on a four-game winning streak in which Sweetney averaged 16 points and 11.5 rebounds. Braswell, meanwhile, scored in double figures in nine straight games to end the season and had a school-record 16 assists against Rutgers in the regular-season home finale, and he finished the year averaging 14.4 points per game for the season and 13.5 points per game for his career.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Georgetown finished the regular season with a three-game winning streak, posting a record of 18-10 overall, 9-7 in the Big East, and finishing tied for third place in the conference's West Division. In the 2002 Big East Tournament, the Hoyas beat Providence in the first round to stretch their winning streak to four games and raise hopes that they had an outside chance of receiving an invitation to the 2002 NCAA Tournament. However, they lost in the quarterfinals to Miami in overtime despite Gerald Riley's 15-point performance, knocking them out of the Big East Tournament and out of consideration for an NCAA bid.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
With no NCAA bid, Georgetown instead received an invitation to play in the 2002 National Invitation Tournament (NIT), but Esherick declined it. He explained his controversial decision by saying that Georgetown's home court, the MCI Center, was booked to host the East Regional of the 2002 NCAA Tournament, meaning that accepting the NIT invitation would have required the Hoyas to play on the road in the West for two weeks, forcing his players to miss many of their classes.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
After playing a similar schedule the previous season during the 2001 NCAA Tournament, Esherick had concluded that missing so many classes to play in the NCAA Tournament would have been worth it because of the chance to win a national championship, but that missing them to play in the NIT, a tournament which did not offer a chance for a national championship, was not in the best interest of Georgetown's players. Georgetown became only the second team in history to turn down an NIT bid, and the first to do so since Louisville turned down an invitation to the 1987 NIT.


2001–02 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The 2001-02 team had a frustrating year, losing all three overtime games it played and three other games by only one point, and on five occasions it entered the final minute of a Big East game with a lead and lost. Esherick's decision to turn down the NIT bid made it the first Georgetown men's basketball team since the 1973-74 season to appear in neither the NCAA Tournament or the NIT.

2001–02 Glasgow Warriors season
The 2001–02 season is the sixth in the history of the Glasgow Warriors as a professional side. During this season the young professional side competed as Glasgow Rugby; reverting to their original professional title and dropping the Caledonian name inherited from the Caledonia Reds merger. However, the team gains the epithet Warriors at least from this season.


2001–02 Glasgow Warriors season
The 2001–02 season saw Glasgow Rugby compete in the competitions: the Welsh-Scottish League, the Celtic League and the European Champions Cup, the Heineken Cup.


2001–02 Glasgow Warriors season, Season Overview, Warriors name begins
At least from this season the team acquired its Warriors moniker – if not yet officially – and even becomes known as such to opposition fans. The Glasgow - Leinster semi-final programme, in Tony Ward's Leinster preview, states:- "it adds to the competition enormously that the Glasgow Warriors remain on board thereby breaking the Irish provincial monopoly."

2001–02 Golden State Warriors season
The 2001–02 NBA season was the Warriors' 56th season in the National Basketball Association, and 40th in the San Francisco Bay Area. This season saw the Warriors draft Jason Richardson from Michigan State with the fifth overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft, while drafting Troy Murphy from the University of Notre Dame with the 14th overall pick, and Gilbert Arenas from the University of Arizona with the 31st overall pick in the second round. The acquisitions of Richardson, Murphy and Arenas sought to help with the Warriors’ struggles the past seasons with a 5–3 start to the season.


2001–02 Golden State Warriors season
Instead, their struggles continued as they lost 12 of their next 15 games. Head coach Dave Cowens was fired after an 8–15 start, and was replaced with Brian Winters. At midseason, second-year center Marc Jackson was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Dean Garrett. The Warriors suffered a ten-game losing streak in March and finished last place in the Pacific Division with a 21–61 record, which was tied with the Chicago Bulls for the worst league record.


2001–02 Golden State Warriors season
Despite their continuing struggles, Antawn Jamison led the team in scoring with 19.7 points per game, while Richardson averaged 14.4 points per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Richardson also won the Slam Dunk Contest, and was invited to play in the Rookie Game during the All-Star Weekend in Philadelphia. Following the season, Larry Hughes signed as a free agent with the Washington Wizards, Winters was fired as coach, Garrett was released to free agency and Mookie Blaylock retired.


2001–02 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team
The 2001–02 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team (also informally referred to as the Zags) represented Gonzaga University in the 2001–02 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by head coach Mark Few, in his 3rd season as head coach, and played their home games at the Charlotte Y. Martin Centre in Spokane, Washington. This was the Bulldogs' 22nd season as a member of the West Coast Conference. After winning the WCC Tournament for the fourth straight season, the team earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.


2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final
The 2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final was an elite figure skating competition held from December 13 to 16, 2001 at The Aud in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Medals were awarded in men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Unlike most competitions that season, the compulsory dance was not part of the ice dance competition at the Grand Prix Final.


2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final
The Grand Prix Final was the culminating event of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series, which at the time consisted of Skate America, Skate Canada International, Sparkassen Cup on Ice, Trophée Lalique, Cup of Russia, and NHK Trophy competitions. The top six skaters from each discipline competed in the final.


2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final
In the 2001–02 season, competitors at the Grand Prix Final performed a short program, followed by two free skating or free dance programs. This was implemented because of television coverage. Ottavio Cinquanta envisioned that the skaters would perform two new free skating programs for the season at the final and this would appeal to and help attract viewers. Instead, most skaters went back to an old free skating program for one of the free skatings. Due to the failure of this plan, the second free skating/dance was eventually removed from the Grand Prix Final.


2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final
All the medalists from the men's, ladies, and pairs' events would go on to medal at the 2002 Olympics. Moreover, the men's podium was exactly the same at the final as it was at the Olympics.


2001–02 Greek Basket League
The 2001–02 Greek Basket League season was the 62nd season of the Greek Basket League, the highest tier professional basketball league in Greece. It was also the 10th season of Greek Basket League championship that was regulated by HEBA (ESAKE). The winner of the league was AEK Athens, which beat Olympiacos in the league's playoff's finals. The clubs Dafni and KAOD were relegated to the Greek A2 League. The top scorer of the league was Nikos Chatzivrettas, a player of Iraklis. Dimos Dikoudis, player of AEK Athens, was named the MVP of the league.

2001–02 Grimsby Town F.C. season
During the 2001–02 English football season, Grimsby Town competed in the Football League First Division.


2001–02 Grimsby Town F.C. season, Season summary
During the opening weeks of the 2001–02 season, Grimsby briefly led the First Division, sparking hopes that Lawrence could repeat the promotion success he achieved at Charlton Athletic and Middlesbrough with a much smaller club. One major highlight in the season was when Grimsby picked up a shock 2–1 win over Liverpool in extra time at Anfield in the League Cup thanks to a wonder strike from Phil Jevons in the last minute.


2001–02 Grimsby Town F.C. season, Season summary
However, after a 5–0 heavy loss to Crystal Palace, ambitious promotion hopes were quickly extinguished as Grimsby's form hit a major decline with only one win in their next 18 league games which saw Grimsby sit 23rd in the table and Lawrence was sacked as a result and Paul Groves was named player-manager. Groves brought in Graham Rodger as his assistant and made successful loan signings which included Andy Todd and Martin Pringle both from Charlton and Grimsby's results steadily improved as Groves steered them to safety.

2001–02 Guildford Flames season
The 2001–02 season, was the Guildford Flames' tenth year of ice hockey. The Guildford Flames competed in the British National League.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
After arguably their most successful season since their formation in 1992, the Guildford Flames shockingly ended up the season empty-handed.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
On paper they should have added yet more silverware to their growing trophy cabinet after securing the triple crown in 2000-01, but head coach, Stan Marple, admitted his BNL side, packed with former Superleague stars, under-achieved.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
Marple - back for his fifth season in the coaching hot-seat - was up against it from the word go. The fans had been given a taste of success and were expecting more.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
But the Surrey side had strong competition, especially the league's new club, Dundee Stars, whose coach, Tony Hand, had recruited many top ISL players.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
Coventry Blaze were always going to be tough, too, so Marple set about signing some big name players himself.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
Perhaps his key acquisition was Finnish hotshot, Mikko Koivunoro, as Flames benefited from the demise of the ISL's Newcastle Jesters.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
But Guildford had lost two veteran players through retirement at the start of the campaign. First was "Mr Guildford", Ryan Campbell, then Wayne (Reggie) Crawford called it a day at the age of 40.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
Marple's new crop of players did not live up to expectations and frustrations began to show. Even returning netminder, Mark McArthur, was having a nightmare season after impressing in his debut year.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
There were many inconsistent results, with Flames losing at home 4-3 to a rejuvenated Paisley Pirates, 6-4 to the surprising Edinburgh Capitals, and 3-0 to local rivals, Slough Jets.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
Marple's cause was not helped when he lost Jason Jennings to a freak domestic accident - while cutting down a tree in his garden, he almost sliced off a finger.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
The club's top scorer in the 2000-01 playoffs refused treatment and flew home to Canada. Though not expected back, he recovered in time to return and help Flames secure their best run of the season, reaching the league playoff semifinals.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season
There, though, Guildford were paired with Dundee, one of their fiercest rivals, who had won the league title. Flames lost 3-2 at home and 3-0 at Camperdown.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season, Schedule And Results, British National League Play-Offs
The top eight BNL teams qualified for the playoffs. In the Quarter-Finals the teams were split into two groups of four with the teams finishing 1st, 4th, 5th and 8th in the league going into Group 1 and the others into Group 2. Teams tied on points in the Quarter-Final group stages were separated first by wins in normal time, then by away wins in normal time. The two top teams in each group qualified for the Semi-Finals with the winner of one group playing a home-and-away, aggregate goals series against the runner-up in the other group. The winning semi-finalists competed for the title using the same playing format.


2001–02 Guildford Flames season, Schedule And Results, British National League Play-Offs
The semi-final with the Coventry Blaze was overshadowed by controversy over ITV's insistence that the second game, rather than the first should be held in Guildford. The change was agreed by the league headquarters to avoid travelling costs (which would fall on the league) for ITV's southern based camera crew who naturally believed the last leg would be the more important one. The fuss was not of Blaze's making and they rode out the politics to beat the Flames by three goals each time.

Hamburger SV had another mediocre season, finishing in the lower reaches of the mid-table of Bundesliga. Mid -season purchase Bernardo Romeo made his mark immediately at his new club, which somewhat compensated for Sergej Barbarez loss of form. At the end of the season, Hamburg was ten points from both European qualifying and relegation.

Hapoel Tel Aviv, although unable to claim the title, had a fantastic season in the UEFA Cup. The likes of Chelsea and Parma were knocked out by the Israelis before facing Italian giants AC Milan in the quarter-finals. Hapoel took a 1-0 lead at home, but lost 2-0 away. Nonetheless, the quarter-finals was an achievement to be proud of.

2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season
Season 2001–02 was a turbulent one for Hibernian, as the team had three different permanent managers during the season. Alex McLeish left the club in December to manage Rangers; Hibs surprisingly replaced him with star player Franck Sauzée, who retired as a player when he was appointed manager. Sauzee's brief tenure saw a long winless run in the SPL and domestic cup defeats by Rangers and Ayr United. The winless run in the league dragged Hibs into the fringes of a relegation battle, and Sauzee was sacked after just 69 days in charge.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season
Kilmarnock manager Bobby Williamson was hired as Sauzee's replacement, and a brief winning run averted any danger of relegation. Earlier in the season, Hibs had been knocked out of the UEFA Cup in the first round by AEK Athens, but only after a dramatic second leg at Easter Road that went to extra time.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, League season
Hibs began the 2001–02 league season in reasonable form, winning convincingly against Dunfermline Athletic and St Johnstone on successive Sundays in September. A poor run of one win in nine followed their elimination from the UEFA Cup, however, leaving Hibs in eighth place in the 12 team SPL. Nonetheless, manager Alex McLeish, who had guided Hibs to promotion back to the top flight in 1998–99, third place in 2000–01 and the 2001 Scottish Cup Final, was linked with the Rangers job when it was indicated that the incumbent, Dick Advocaat, would be moved to another role within that club.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, League season
A few days later, McLeish was unveiled as Rangers manager, with Hibs and Rangers still negotiating over compensation. Donald Park managed the team on a caretaker basis for a 1–1 draw against Rangers the following day, and Franck Sauzee was swiftly appointed as manager two days later. Park was also promoted from the role of reserve team manager to assistant manager. BBC Sport commented:


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, League season
the speed of the appointment will come as a surprise considering the Easter Road board only met on Thursday night with a view to drawing up a shortlist and because the Frenchman has no previous coaching experience.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, League season
Hibs were already on a poor run of form when Sauzee was appointed, and this was greatly extended during his time in charge. After just 69 days in the job, Sauzee was sacked by Hibs. Another factor appeared to be that the last place club, St Johnstone, had just won a game and reduced the gap between the clubs to nine points, with Hibs due to play the Perth club in their next game. Sauzee spoke to the media after his dismissal, insisting that he was not worried that Hibs may be relegated.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, League season
Two days later, Hibs agreed a deal with Bobby Williamson to be the new manager, subject to compensation being agreed with Kilmarnock. In Williamson's first game in charge, the key match with St. Johnstone, Hibs won 3–0 and all but ensured their survival in the SPL. The result gave Hibs their first win in 19 SPL games, since an Edinburgh derby win in October. Despite the positive result, some of the Hibs supporters chanted Sauzee's name.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, League season
The match reporter writing in The Observer reckoned that this was a sarcastic criticism of the Hibs board's decisions in hiring and then so quickly firing Sauzee. Further wins towards the end of the season meant that Hibs, although finishing in a lowly 10th, ended up 20 points ahead of St Johnstone.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Cup
Having finished third in the previous season's Scottish Premier League, Hibs entered the UEFA Cup at the first round stage. The first leg against AEK Athens was scheduled to be played on 13 September 2001, but this was postponed by UEFA in light of the terrorist attacks on 11 September. Given the lateness of the decision, many Hibs fans had already travelled to Greece and were left out of pocket without a match to attend. The team themselves were on the runway at Edinburgh Airport when the decision from UEFA was advised to them. UEFA announced later that day that the UEFA Cup games scheduled to be played on 13 September would instead be played on 20 September.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Cup
When the match was finally played, Hibs suffered a 2–0 defeat in the "disrespectful" atmosphere of the Nikos Goumas Stadium. The match reporter for The Scotsman observed that:


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Cup
the minute’s silence before kick-off in memory of those murdered in the recent terrorist atrocities was sabotaged by those wild incumbents of the notorious skepasti - "the covered ones" - end of the stadium, who whistled and jeered throughout, and then burnt the stars and stripes for good measure.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Cup
Hibs appeared to miss the "calming influence" of Franck Sauzee, who had been injured in the preceding league match. Although AEK created few chances in the early proceedings, a penalty kick early in the second half gave them the lead. A second goal from a header by Nikolaidis and the lack of an away goal left Hibs facing a "formidable challenge" to progress.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Cup
Sauzee returned for the second leg at Easter Road, while AEK made a few changes. Hibs had the early pressure but failed to score until the 53rd minute, when Paco Luna headed in from close range. Hibs then pressed to bring the aggregate score level at 2–2, but again lost Sauzee to injury with 10 minutes remaining. Nonetheless, Hibs were level a minute later, with Luna again scoring. Hibs then had a great chance to win the tie in the last minute of normal time, but Luna headed wide from a de la Cruz cross.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Cup
With the aggregate score level and no away goals scored by either side, the tie headed into extra time. AEK regrouped during the break before the extra periods, and Tsiartas scored early on from long range. This left Hibs needing two goals without reply to win the tie, given the away goals rule. Tsiartas then added another goal for AEK from a corner, leaving Hibs with almost no chance to progress. David Zitelli then scored what was effectively a consolation goal, but at least gave Hibs a win on the night. Despite exiting the competition, the second leg match is still fondly remembered by Hibs supporters; Dougray Scott later named it as his favourite match.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish League Cup
As one of the SPL clubs who qualified for European competition, Hibs entered at the last 16 stage (third round) of the competition, in which they defeated Raith Rovers 2–0. Another 2–0 win, against Dundee United at Easter Road, sent Hibs through to the semi-final. By the time the semi-final was played, Alex McLeish had departed and Franck Sauzee was now the manager. The shock 1–0 defeat by First Division club Ayr United in the semi-final was cited as one of the causes of Sauzee's dismissal later that month.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Cup
Hibs' brief Scottish Cup campaign during 2001–02 came during the period that Franck Sauzee was manager. It transpired that the victory in the third round replay against Stranraer, a Second Division club, was to be Sauzee's only win as Hibs manager. Hibs were heavily defeated by Rangers, now managed by Alex McLeish, in the last 16.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, Transfers
Hibs broke their transfer record during the 2001 close season with the purchase of Ecuadorian international player Ulises de la Cruz, paying £700,000 for his services. Hibs manager Alex McLeish later claimed that the fee was "more like" £350,000.


2001–02 Hibernian F.C. season, Player stats

In the 2001 NBA draft, the Rockets selected Richard Jefferson from the University of Arizona with the 13th pick, but soon traded him to the New Jersey Nets for top draft pick Eddie Griffin. During the offseason, the team acquired All-Star forward Glen Rice from the New York Knicks, and re-acquired former Rockets forward Kevin Willis from the Milwaukee Bucks.


2001–02 Houston Rockets season
In their first season without All-Star center Hakeem Olajuwon, the Rockets got off to a 7–5 start, but then suffered a dreadful 15-game losing streak. Rice only played just 20 games due to a foot injury, and Maurice Taylor missed the entire season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Due to injuries that hindered their roster for parts of the year, the Rockets played mediocre basketball all season long, losing 15 of their final 18 games, and finishing fifth in the Midwest Division with a disappointing 28–54 record.


2001–02 Houston Rockets season

Macari remained in charge for the 2001–02 season. At the start of the season he sold Chris Lucketti to Preston North End in a £750,000 deal, after 76 appearances for Town. Macari promoted the then 18-year-old Nathan Clarke to the first team, who would go on to be a mainstay at the heart of the Terriers defence. Huddersfield had a good start to the season, with the exception of the Worthington Cup loss to Rochdale. They continued a steady progress up the table and Lou Macari was on course to send Town back up to Division 1.

As the top six challenge faded, he made a canny loan signing, gifted young striker Leon Knight (from Chelsea). He scored 16 league goals in 31 appearances and also became the only loan player to date to win the Player of the Year award. However, Knight received a red card during a league game with near neighbours Oldham Athletic and ended up missing the Play-Offs he had been largely responsible for getting the team to. Without him, Town battled well but lacked a cutting edge and ended up being defeated by Brentford at the semi-final stage.

A year after finishing fifth in the Premiership and earning George Burley the title of "Manager of the Year", Ipswich dropped back into Division One after two years among the elite after falling victim to second season syndrome. A dismal start to the season saw their UEFA Cup dream end in the third phase of the competition, while after 18 games they were still bottom of the Premiership with just one win. A turnaround then followed and seven wins from eight games pulled Ipswich up to 12th and appeared to have secured their survival. But another slump set in and this time they were unable to halt it. Any lingering hopes of survival were ended on the final day by a 5–0 defeat against Liverpool.
