It's been a rough go at Georgetown under Patrick Ewing.
But one of the darkest stages of Hoyas basketball is finally over. Georgetown posted an 81-76 win over DePaul on Monday for its first Big East win of the season. In fact, it's Georgetown's first Big East win in multiple seasons.
The win broke a 29-game Big East losing streak that encompassed the entire 2021-22 campaign and dates back to spring of 2021. The Hoyas hadn't beat a Big East opponent since a 73-48 win over Creighton on March 13, 2021 to cap a Big East tournament championship. It was an unexpected run to the title after the Hoyas finished 7-9 in conference play. It's been all downhill from there.
Georgetown finished 0-19 in conference play and 6-25 overall last season as pressure mounted on Ewing in his fifth season as head coach. But Ewing, a Hall of Fame player and program icon who led the Hoyas to a championship in 1984, returned in 2022. Things haven't been much better. The Hoyas got off to a 2-0 start with wins over Coppin State and Green Bay. But they'd lost 14 of 18 games since entering Tuesday, including nine straight in Big East play. Tuesday's win broke 10-game overall losing streak dating back to a Dec. 7 win over Siena. The Hoyas improved to 6-15 overall an 1-9 in conference play. One win isn't much in the grand scheme. But it was relief from unprecedented program futility.
