Season recap[edit]

Non-conference season[edit]

Georgetown played an 11-game non-conference schedule from November 7 through December 16, with nine of the games at Capital One Arena. The Hoyas visited former Big East rival Rutgers in the annual Gavitt Tipoff Games. They also hosted an unnamed, unsponsored two-day multi-team event, referred to simply as the "Georgetown MTE," in which the Hoyas, American, and Mount St. Mary's each played a game against the other two teams. Georgetown hosted TCU in the annual Big East–Big 12 Battle and former Big East member Syracuse in the yearly renewal of their rivalry. Georgetown closed out its non-conference schedule with a visit to its former Big East rival Notre Dame in the first season of a two-year home-and-home series.

Conference season[edit]

Georgetown played a 20-game conference season from December 19 through March 9, meeting each Big East opponent in a home-and-home series. Georgetown finished in 10th place, with a record of 2–18.

Big East tournament[edit]

Georgetown lost in the first round of the 2024 Big East tournament, finishing the season with an overall record of 9–23.
