Georgetown Hoyas: Offseason Ahead, Lessons from Big East

0:00On March 20th, Georgetown Hoyas wrapped up their season with a tough loss to Yukon in the big e-Semi-finals at Madison Square Garden. The final score was 67-51, giving the team a 16 wins 18 losses record overall. Now they head into the offseason with the transfer portal opening soon for some roster shakeups. Under Coach Ed Cooley in his third year, there's reason for hope from players like Malik Mack, K.J. Lewis and Julius Halifoneua, who showed real, promised this year. Still, losing defensive standout Vince Iwachuku will hurt unless he somehow gets another year of eligibility. Fans see flashes of potential, but no rebuilding takes time, and the program hasn't fully turned the corner yet. Cooley remains committed to getting back to the NCAA tournament, praising the team's grid in New York. Meanwhile, three Big E's rivals punched tickets to the big dance. 5th seeded St. John's Faces, 12 seeded Northern Iowa, at 710pm Eastern on CBS in San Diego.

1:008th seeded Villanova takes on 9th seeded Utah State at 410pm on TNT there too, while 2nd seeded Yukon plays 15th seeded Ferman at 10pm on TBS in Philadelphia. Eyes now turn to those matchups and what lessons Georgetown can draw, as the conference stays in the spotlight and the Hoyas gear up for next season.
