The Hoyas have won a Big East conference game for the first time in 682 days. Georgetown snapped a 29-game Big East losing streak with a win over DePaul.
in conference. Coach Patrick Ewing, who led the Hoyas to a national title in 1984 as a player, is 74-99 in his tenure with the program. Georgetown’s next opportunity to build on their progress comes Sunday when they travel to Queens, N.Y. to take on St. John’s at 2 p.m. ET.So here’s the thing about being Georgetown, a formerly big bad program that relished its role as a basketball bully for the better part of three decades: when you’re terrible, no one is going to feel bad for you.
And so it was during and after Tuesday night’s win over DePaul: a deluge of Twitter irony and digital Bronx cheers that put the spotlight on the Hoyas in a way that almost felt worse than if they had just quietly lost another conference game. Still, obviously, better to win. DePaul, also a very bad team was the last best chance for the Hoyas to end their infamously awful run; a loss Tuesday night and who knows how long Patrick Ewing’s team could have extended this thing.
But the Hoyas haven’t been unlucky; they are still ranked 227th in Division I adjusted efficiency margin, per, which is a slightly mathy way of saying they’re just plain bad. Will this win spark them into life for the rest of the season? It’s very hard to imagine. They might improve down the stretch, but more likely than not they just keep losing. This season — and Ewing’s tenure — is already over.
