Georgetown Basketball: 2020-21 season preview for the Hoyas
By Joe Casey
Georgetown Basketball 2020-21 outlook
The expectations for the 20-21 Hoyas should be low and Georgetown fans will have to put off their hopes for an NCAA tournament bid at least one more year. Ewing and his staff did everything they could to make the 20-21 roster competitive but at the end of it all the level of play this year will not match the competitors they are playing.
Barring an explosive season from Pickett or Blair, the Hoyas will find themselves at the bottom of the Big East once again. This is not to say that Ewing and his staff did not try to recover from the mass exodus of last year.
By adding three graduate transfers and four-star recruit Jamari Sibley the team is still poised to be competitive but not competitive enough to find themselves in the mix for any type of tournament birth.
They also find themselves in one of the most competitive conferences in the country where the level of play continues to reach new heights every year. As the team continues to improve the loss that the team experienced when six of their players left, the program last year will continue to affect them for the near future.
As Georgetown continues to live in mediocrity the departure of their six players could be a blessing in disguise for the middling program. At the very least it was a true reset button for the entire program. After the departure of their seniors and graduate transfers, the Hoyas will be even younger than they are this year.

The difference will be that ten current freshmen will have one year of the program under their belt and Ewing can finally start to build the depth and consistency necessary to revive a once-prominent program.
