Georgetown shocked the college basketball world last season when the Hoyas won the Big East Tournament as the No. 8 seed.
While the Hoyas must replace their four top scorers from that team, coach Patrick Ewing said Thursday that the lesson to his young squad is the same as it was last year.
“It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish,” Ewing said.
Ewing was referencing the preseason coaches poll that had Georgetown 10th out of 11 teams in the conference. Last season, the Hoyas were ranked last in the poll before going 7-9 in conference play and winning four straight to claim the program’s first Big East crown since 2007 and its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2015.
