# 2024–25 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team

The 2024–25 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represents Georgetown University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Hoyas, led by second-year head coach Ed Cooley, are members of the Big East Conference. The Hoyas are playing their home games in Washington, D.C., at both Capital One Arena and McDonough Gymnasium.

## 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.

## Roster

Georgetown announced its 2024–25 roster on September 23, 2024:

## Season recap
### Non-conference season

Georgetown played 11 non-conference games between November 6 and December 28, finishing 9–2 in nonconference play. The non-conference schedule included the Hoyas playing in the final year of the Big East–Big 12 Battle, facing former Big East rival West Virginia on the road. The Hoyas also played former Big East member Syracuse on the road in the annual renewal of their rivalry. All other non-conference games were at home, two of the them on campus at McDonough Arena and the rest at Capital One Arena. Georgetown met former Big East opponent Notre Dame at Capitol One Arena in the second season of a two-year home-and-home series.
For the second season in a row Georgetown hosted an unnamed and unsponsored multi-team event, again referred to as the "Georgetown MTE." In the 2024 Georgetown MTE, each of three participating teams played each other once, with the Hoyas hosting both Mount St. Mary's and Saint Francis and Mount St. Mary's hosting Saint Francis.
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. In late June, the schools confirmed these plans for the series.
Georgetown finished with a record of 9–2 in non-conference play.

### Conference season

Georgetown played a 20-game conference season from December 18 through March 8, meeting each Big East opponent in a home-and-home series. The Hoyas finished with a conference record of 8–12.

### Big East tournament

Georgetown lost to DePaul in the first round of the 2025 Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 12.

### National Invitation Tournament

Georgetown declined an invitation to the 2025 National Invitation Tournament.

### College Basketball Crown

Georgetown accepted a bid to the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament, scheduled for March 31–April 6, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Georgetown is the No. 5 seed in the 16-team tournament.
