Georgetown kneels for anthem during March Madness, loses by 23 points and is eliminated from tournament

The entire Colorado team remained standing during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner.

The Georgetown team has taken a knee for the national anthem during past games, particularly after the Jan 6 riot at the United States capitol. While the team did not state an explicit reason for kneeling, it could be related to the recent shooting spree in Atlanta, Georgia.

However, the historically well-regarded Georgetown team fumbled during the tournament game, losing to Colorado by 96-73. The loss caused Georgetown to be eliminated from the single-elimination tournament.

Georgetown fell behind Colorado at the beginning of the game, and was never able to catch up.

Colorado will move on to play against Florida State University in the second round.
