2019-2020 Georgetown Hoyas Season Preview

Led by Jessie Govan and an exciting freshman trio of James Akinjo, Mac McClung, and Josh LeBlanc, the Hoyas avoided the play-in games of the Big East Tournament and played postseason basketball for the first time since 2014-15. They beat who they were supposed to beat in non-conference play, avoiding a slip up against the likes of Campbell and Appalachian State, but faltered against tougher opposition like Syracuse and SMU. Then, in the Big East, inconsistency plagued Georgetown. This was best encapsulated by the last week of the team’s regular season schedule, when they beat Seton Hall and Marquette on consecutive Saturdays, but suffered a 32-point loss to DePaul midweek.
