Previous season

After cutting ties with head coach Patrick Ewing in 2023 after six years at the helm, the Hoyas played their first season under head coach Ed Cooley, who had left the head coaching position at Big East rival Providence College to come to Georgetown. Under Cooley, the Hoyas had their third historically bad season in a row in 2023–24, starting 7–4 in non-conference games but finishing the season 9–23 overall and 2–18 in Big East play. They finished in 10th place in the 11-team conference. In the Big East tournament, they lost to Providence in the first round, bringing their season to an end.

The official 2024–25 roster has not been announced.[18] However, in mid-June 2024 Georgetown released a preliminary roster of players likely to be on the 2024–25 official roster:[19]

Season recap

Non-conference season

Georgetown will meet Fairfield early in the season.[20] The Hoyas will play in the final year of the Big East–Big 12 Battle, facing former Big East rival West Virginia on the road. The Hoyas also will play former Big East member Syracuse on the road in the yearly renewal of their rivalry. Georgetown also will meet former Big East opponent Notre Dame at Capitol One Arena in the second season of a two-year home-and-home series.[21] Georgetown also reportedly will host UMBC.[22]

In late May 2024, the press reported that for the second season in a row Georgetown will host an unnamed and unsponsored multi-team event, again referred to as the "Georgetown MTE." In the 2024 Georgetown MTE, each of three participating teams will play each other once, with the Hoyas hosting both Mount St. Mary's and St. Francis and Mount St. Mary's hosting St. Francis.[23]

The schedule for additional non-conference games has not yet been announced.

Plans for Georgetown and Maryland to begin a four-year home-and-home series in the 2024–25 season changed in mid-May 2024, with the beginning of the series reportedly pushed back until the 2025–26 season and Maryland hosting the first meeting, the change blamed on scheduling difficulties in 2024–25.[24] In late June, the schools confirmed these plans for the series.[25]

Conference season

Georgetown will play a 20-game conference season from December through March, meeting each Big East opponent in a home-and-home series.

Big East tournament

The 2025 Big East tournament will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City March 12–16, 2025.
