Season recap
Non-conference season
Georgetown played 11 non-conference games between November 6 and December 28, finishing 9–2 in nonconference play.[ 15] 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 them on campus at McDonough Arena and the rest at Capital One Arena . Georgetown met former Big East opponent Notre Dame at Capital One Arena in the second season of a two-year home-and-home series.[ 16]
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.[ 17]
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.[ 18] In late June, the schools confirmed these plans for the series.[ 19]
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 received an invitation to the 2025 National Invitation Tournament , but was contracturally obliged to decline it because of a Big East Conference commitment to participate in the inauguration College Basketball Crown tournament.
College Basketball Crown
Georgetown accepted a bid to the 2025 College Basketball Crown tournament. The Hoyas lost to Nebraska in the quarterfinal round.
