† 2025 Big East tournament winner As of January 3, 2025 Rankings from AP Poll

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 will play 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.

Season recap

Non-conference season

Georgetown is playing 11 non-conference games between November 6 and December 28.^[19] The non-conference schedule includes 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 will be 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.^[20]

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.^[21]

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.^[22] In late June, the schools confirmed these plans for the series.^[23]

Conference season

Georgetown is playing a 20-game conference season from December 18 through March 8, 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 12–15, 2025.
