Last year, Georgetown ended the regular season with an overall record of 12-16 and a final Big East tally of 7-9. However, the Hoyas conference record was solid enough to land them the sixth seed in the Big East tournament, the team’s highest seeding since the 1999-00 season.

With Thompson at the helm, Georgetown improved from a 4-12 Big East record in 2004 to an 8-8 conference record and 19-13 record overall, advancing to the NIT quarterfinals.
