Other notable players such as Mac McClung, James Akinjo and Qudus Wahab transferred. That has not worked out, as explained by Gene Wang of the Washington Post:Īttracting top-level talent has proved to be a major hurdle, with freshman guard Aminu Mohammed’s arrival this season among the few high-profile additions under Ewing. It was hoped that Ewing’s prestige as an NBA hall-of-famer, his connection to the glory days of Georgetown hoops (he won the national title under Thompson in 1984), and his years as an assistant coach at the sport’s highest level would give him at least a recruiting edge, if not a tactical or administrative one. Ewing’s Hoyas have never won more conference games than they’ve lost they’ve made one NCAA Tournament, but only after an improbable run through the Big East tournament, and they were summarily flattened in a 23-point loss to Colorado. Georgetown fired John Thompson III in 2017, after consecutive losing seasons, and replaced him with Ewing, who’d been working as an assistant coach for various NBA teams for 15 years but who had zero head coaching experience. And the 2013 team featuring Otto Porter … well that was also a big disappointment, but they earned a third seed in the NCAA Tournament! The Greg Monroe era was mostly a big disappointment, but Monroe was a cool college player. And they had some cool teams in there! The 2007 team, featuring Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green, did lots of fun Princeton Offense stuff and crisp high-low shit in the paint and won 30 games and made the Final Four.
They haven’t returned to the powerhouse form of John Thompson’s heyday-or really anywhere close-but they survived the dismal Craig Eshrick era and hired Thompson’s son and competed well and consistently for a period of 10 years, starting in 2004. There was a time, and not all that long ago, when you would’ve used the word “storied” to describe the Georgetown men’s basketball program, and without anyone laughing in your face! Even just in the time since the youngest Defector staff people were born, Georgetown has been to a few Sweet Sixteens and a Final Four. They’re in a completely different category altogether from all other Hoyas teams in the history of the Big East conference. These Hoyas aren’t just the worst Georgetown team of my lifetime. They are the 354th best team in the land at making two-point shots. They have the 331st ranked defense in the country. John’s, by 19 to Providence, and by 23 to Connecticut. Along the way they lost by 18 to Marquette, by 19 to St. The closest they’ve come to a victory in two-and-a-half months was a three-point home loss to DePaul, the second- or third-worst team in the Big East. Their last win came on December 15, against local MEAC also-ran Howard University. I stand before you today with a simple question: What the fuck has happened to Hoyas basketball? With one game left in this absolutely nightmarish season, the Hoyas sit dead last in the Big East with an unfathomable 0–18 conference record. “Coach Ewing’s dedication as well as his success at last year’s Big East tournament is a testament to his leadership.” Buoyed by this public vote of confidence, Ewing then led his young Hoyas to a gut-wrenching 73–68 loss at Seton Hall, Georgetown’s 19th consecutive loss and a new low-point in what has been the worst season for the program in half a century. “We are committed to Coach Ewing,” says the note, clearing up a matter you for sure want to be discussing with two games left in your conference schedule.
