2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
In addition to center Chris Sodom – dismissed from the team at midseason, he had transferred to George Washington – Georgetown had lost four players since the conclusion of the previous season: guards Trey Dickerson, Jonathan Mulmore, and three-season walk-on Ra'Mond Hines had graduated, and, most notably, the team's second-leading scorer, forward Marcus Derrickson, had foregone his senior year of college to enter the 2018 National Basketball Association draft. However, a core of veteran players – junior Jagan Mosely and sophomore Jahvon Blair at guard, sophomores Jamorko Pickett and Antwan Walker at forward, and senior guard/forward Kaleb Johnson – returned.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Junior forward George Muresan, the son of former NBA player Gheorghe Muresan, made the team as a walk-on for the third straight season. Forward Trey Mourning, who had missed the entire 2017–2018 season due to injury, also returned to action in 2018–2019 as a redshirt senior, and the team hoped his perimeter shooting talents would pay dividends on offense. Most significantly, center Jesse Govan, the team's top scorer, who initially had indicated after the end of the previous season that he, like Derrickson, would leave school to enter the 2018 NBA draft, had changed his mind and decided to play his senior year at Georgetown in 2018–2019.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
A number of new players joined the team for the season. After sitting out the 2017–2018 season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules, forward Greg Malinowksi, a good perimeter shooter who previously had played for three seasons for William & Mary – where he had shot 40 percent in three-pointers during the 2016–2017 season – became eligible to play for the Hoyas as a redshirt senior, and it was hoped that he would fill the gap left by Derrickson's early departure for the NBA.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Freshman forward Grayson Carter also joined the team, and freshman forward Jaden Robinson made the team as a walk-on.

2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The arrival of three freshman – guards Mac McClung and James Akinjo and forward Josh LeBlanc – generated particular excitement in the basketball program and among its fans. LeBlanc was a versatile forward who was best known for his defense and his abilities in transition play. Akinjo was a skilled and high-scoring point guard, a position Georgetown had struggled to fill effectively since the graduation of Markel Starks in 2014.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
McClung had risen to national attention in high school with his spectacular dunks and high scoring; he had set a Virginia state record for points scored in high school a single season with 1,153, beating the old record of 948 set by his idol Allen Iverson, a former Georgetown and NBA great. Both in high school and in Kenner League play at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus during the summer of 2018, McClung thrilled fans with his athleticism and dunking ability, and he and Akinjo dominated the scoring in Kenner League games that summer. McClung and Akinjo in particular provided star power to the 2018–2019 team that Georgetown had been missing for several seasons.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
On October 11, 2018, Georgetown issued a press release announcing that Antwan Walker had been dismissed from the team that day. After Walker had begun to emerge as an important contributor to Georgetown's frontcourt late the previous season and followed that up with a successful summer in Kenner League play in 2018, observers had speculated that he might start for the Hoyas in 2018–2019. His departure suggested greater playing time for Josh LeBlanc, Trey Mourning, Kaleb Johnson, and Greg Malinowski in the 2018–2019 season.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
A preseason poll of Big East Conference coaches picked Georgetown to finish seventh in the Big East in 2018–2019.

2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Ewing and Georgetown athletic director Lee Reed both believed that a good program had to be built slowly, and Ewing added, "Last year, I said we were building a foundation... Now we’re starting to put the building up." He indicated that in 2018–2019 he would place an emphasis on getting the Hoyas to play together well as a team.

Four days later, the Hoyas began competition in the 2018 Jamaica Classic, the Hoyas′ first appearance in an in-season tournament or showcase event of Patrick Ewing's tenure as head coach. The Classic was an unbracketed, four-game showcase event, and under its format the Hoyas started by playing a game at Capital One Arena against Central Connecticut State. The Blue Devils kept the game close, trailing by only three points with four minutes remaining, but Jamorko Pickett sank two three-pointers as part of a 9–0 Georgetown run that clinched the Hoya win. Jesse Govan scored 26 points, James Akinjo contributed 13, and Pickett and Trey Mourning added 12 each.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule
Before continuing play in the Jamaica Classic, Georgetown took part in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, an annual competition played between the Big East Conference and the Big Ten Conference which matched eight Big East teams against eight Big Ten teams. Georgetown had played in the Gavitt Tipoff Games during the first two seasons of the competition, losing to Maryland in both 2015 and 2016, but had not participated in 2017. This season, the Hoyas went on the road to face Illinois on November 13 in the most hostile environment the team had yet faced with Patrick Ewing as head coach.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule
Georgetown's freshmen were particularly effective, scoring 61.3 percent of Georgetown's points and making key plays, including 12 points by Mac McClung that included a steal and breakaway reverse dunk to complete a 9–2 Georgetown run and give the Hoyas a 75–72 lead with just under five minutes remaining, a 19-point, seven-assist game by James Akinjo that included a floater and ensuing free throw to give the Hoyas an 84–80 lead with 39 seconds left, and 14 points and seven rebounds by Josh LeBlanc.

The Hoyas improved their all-time record against the Fighting Illini to 2–4, their all-time record in the Gavitt Tipoff Games to 1–2, and their season record to 3–0.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule
Georgetown then made its first overseas trip under Ewing, traveling to Jamaica to resume competition in the Jamaica Classic with two non-bracketed showcase games at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Montego Bay. Ewing, a Jamaica native who had emigrated to the United States at the age of 12, had accepted the invitation to play in the Classic partly because he wanted to show his players his birth country, and because Jagan Moseley's father and Jahvon Blair's parents also had been born on the island.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule
The first game, against unbeaten Loyola Marymount, was the first meeting of the schools since 1979; the Hoyas led by five points at halftime, but the Lions had a strong second half in which they built a lead of as many as 15 points before handing Georgetown its first loss of the season, 65–52, behind 27 points by senior guard James Batemon. Two days later, Georgetown bounced back in the next game, in which the Hoyas fell behind former Big East Conference rival South Florida by 11 points early in the second half but pulled out a victory in overtime.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule
The Hoyas then returned to Capital One Arena for the final game of the Jamaica Classic, building a 22-point lead against Campbell before the Fighting Camels staged a second-half comeback – largely thanks to 45 points by senior guard Chris Clemons, 27 of them after halftime – that brought Campbell to within six points of the Hoyas with 12 seconds left before James Akinjo made four straight free throws to clinch the win for Georgetown. Jesse Govan had a double-double (20 points and 11 rebounds) against Loyola Marymount, 27 points against South Florida, and 13 in the Campbell game.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule

The Campbell game began a three-game homestand that saw the Hoyas also face Richmond, completing a home-and-home series between the Hoyas and Spiders that had begun the previous season, and Liberty, the Flames′ first game against a Big East opponent since playing Georgetown in 2012. Georgetown won both games to stretch its winning streak to four.

With a four-game winning streak and a record of 7–1, Georgetown next went on the road to meet Syracuse before a crowd of over 24,000 at the Carrier Dome.

2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule
During the first half, the Hoya defense held the Orange to 7-for-27 (25.9 percent) shooting from the field and junior guard Tyus Battle – who had scored a career-high 29 points at Capital One Arena in the previous season to lead Syracuse to a comeback win over the Hoyas – to 1-for-8 (12.5 percent) shooting. The Hoyas went into the locker room at halftime leading 35–22; it was the second-fewest points Syracuse had scored in a half in the 38-season history of the Carrier Dome. In the second half, Georgetown quickly took its largest lead of the game, 37–22.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Nonconference schedule

The game completed a four-year, four-game series between Georgetown and Syracuse, and it ended amid speculation that the schools would not play again in the near future, because the Atlantic Coast Conference′s decision to go to a 20-game schedule the following season would make it too difficult for the Orange to schedule Georgetown.

After a week off, Georgetown met SMU at Capital One Arena in the first game of a home-and-home series in which the Hoyas were scheduled to travel to play at SMU the following season.

The Little Rock game was the 1,400th Georgetown game broadcast by Rich Chvotkin, the radio voice of the Hoyas. Chvotkin had broadcast every Georgetown men's basketball game since his debut in the 1974-75 season opener with the exception of most of the games of the 1990–1991 season, which he missed when he mobilized for six months of United States Army Reserve service during the Gulf War shortly after calling the fourth game that year. Chvotkin's milestone was announced before the Little Rock game began and acknowledged with applause by the crowd at Capital One Arena as Chvotkin rose at courtside and waved in response.

With 12 seconds remaining, James Akinjo attempted to drive the basket but Marquette freshman forward Brendan Bailey blocked his shot; then, with Georgetown behind 72–71, Akinjo – who shot 1-for-10 from the field and scored eight points – ignored Ewing's called play to kick the ball out to a wide-open Govan for a potentially game-winning three-pointer and instead drove the basket again, resulting in Marquette sophomore forward Theo John blocking Akinjo's shot easily.

The loss dropped Georgetown to 2–3 in Big East play, leaving Georgetown under .500 in the conference after five Big East games for the third straight season. Discussing Akinjo's late-game choices after the game, Ewing said, "We just didn’t play smart enough at the right time, or share the ball at the right time...Twice James [Akinjo] drove in there... At the end of the game we ran a play for either Jessie [Govan] or Mac [McClung] or him to get the shot and he drove it and they came and blocked the shot. There were two people open. [ Akinjo] has to play smarter. I know he’s a freshman, but it’s not time to be freshmen anymore. It’s the second half of his freshman year. We’re in the Big East, and these are games that you’re not going to get back.”


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Conference schedule
The homestand ended with a game against Creighton, and Ewing showed his displeasure with Akinjo by relegating him to the bench, the first time in Akinjo's college career that he had not started. Akinjo nonetheless played 30 minutes and had a career-best 11 assists, but poor shot selection plagued him as it had in the Marquette game, and he went 2–for–9 from the field and scored only six points, giving him an offensive output in the Marquette and Creighton games combined of 14 points on 3-for-21 (14.3 percent) field-goal shooting.

Jahvon Blair led the team with 16 points, and Greg Malinowski scored 12, but overall the Hoyas came out flat for the game, their starters underperforming on offense and the team lacking a defensive solution for the Bluejays′ offense.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Conference schedule
After the game, Patrick Ewing declared that the NCAA Tournament was his team's goal, and that the loss had disappointed him because "“Great teams back up what they did,” referring to building momentum following the win over Villanova, while “[a] mediocre team did what we did today,” meaning take a step backwards after a signature win. Discussing the matter with The Washington Post three days after the loss at Creighton, Ewing said, "“We’ve been talking about our [Big East Tournament] seeding and what our goals are, and our goal is to try to make the NCAAs.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Conference schedule
So we have to finish the season strong. We have to finish well in the Big East to have an opportunity to do that. I thought that the way we played versus Villanova, it was a great opportunity to build. We just didn’t have the energy, the focus, the fire that we needed to play the way we needed to come away with a great road win at Creighton... We have to have a sense of urgency. We only have four games left, and we’re still right in the hunt. We do what we need to do, and we could end up as good as third in the Big East Tournament. But we need to play with more of a sense of urgency than we did in our last outing.”

However, both their offense and defense let them down; they had their worst shooting performance since the game at Villanova, with only James Akinjo and Mac McClung – with 13 points each – scoring in double figures, and their defense allowed four Blue Demons to score in double figures, including 30 points by redshirt senior guard Max Strus and 24 by senior guard Eli Cain.

The 32-point loss tied a loss at the hands of Villanova in January 2018 for Georgetown's biggest margin of defeat under Ewing, and it was the first time in Ewing's tenure as head coach that an opponent had scored 100 or more points against Georgetown. After the game, Ewing said, "“I don’t have an answer for it. We’ve talked about the importance of this game for trying to lock in that third seed [in the Big East Tournament].


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Conference schedule
And I just thought that we didn’t come with the right energy and the right effort for whatever reason...I guess we thought we were just going to show up and it was just going to happen. The reason why I was so proud of my team last game [against Seton Hall] was we didn’t start out playing particularly well, but our defense kept us in the game. Today, our defense was nonexistent. We couldn’t stop anyone.” Ewing blamed the embarrassing loss on Georgetown's lack of energy and preparedness, saying “We didn’t come ready to play.


2018–19 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Conference schedule
For as big of a game as this was for us, we didn’t come out with the right energy, the right effort, intensity that we talked about from after our last game. To a man. No one was ready to play, in my opinion.” In the tightly packed Big East standings, the loss dropped the Hoyas all the way from third to seventh place.

The blowout loss in the first game of the Big East Tournament dashed the Hoyas′ hopes of playing their way into a 2019 NCAA Tournament bid, and Georgetown missed the NCAA Tournament for a fourth straight season, the first time that had happened since a four-year drought from the 2001–2002 through 2004–2005 seasons. However, the Hoyas did receive an invitation to the 2019 National Invitation Tournament. It was their first NIT appearance since 2014, and their first postseason tournament appearance of any kind since they played in the 2015 NCAA Tournament.

The 2019 NIT used a number of experimental rules, including a three-point line set approximately 20 inches (51 cm) farther from the basket to match the distance used by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA); a free-throw lane widened from 12 feet (3.7 meters) to 16 feet (4.9 meters), the width used in the National Basketball Association; a shot clock that reset to 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds after an offensive rebound; the elimination of one-and-one free throws; and team foul totals that reset to zero at the 10-minute mark of each half for the purpose of determining free throws, with teams shooting two bonus free throws after the fifth team foul of each 10-minute segment and awarded two bonus free throws after the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining in each half if that foul occurred before the fifth team foul of the segment, with team fouls resetting in each overtime period and teams shooting two free throws beginning with the fourth team foul or the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining if that came before the fourth team foul of the overtime period.

Seeded third in one of the NIT's brackets, Georgetown faced Harvard, the No. 6 seed, in the first game.

The Hoyas appeared to put out a lax effort during the game, and Harvard led 13–6 after only four minutes of play. By halftime, the Crimson had outrebounded the Hoyas 21–14, although Georgetown led, 36–35. The Hoyas did not score for nearly nine minutes during the second half and trailed for most of the last 10 minutes of the game.

James Akinjo then fouled Harvard's leading scorer, junior guard Bryce Aiken, who sank both free throws to put Harvard ahead 71–68 with 14 seconds remaining. On Georgetown's next possession, Govan attempted another three-pointer with seven seconds left, but missed; Greg Malinowski grabbed the rebound but could not get another three-point attempt off before the buzzer ended both the game and Georgetown's season as Harvard won, 71–68.

After the game, Ewing said, "I believe that we had a very good year. We won 15 games last year; we won 19 this year. Hopefully next year we’ll make a lot more, make the NCAAs, and go far. Right now it hurts. I’m disappointed. It’s a tough loss. Now we have to start going out to recruit and getting ready for next year. My seniors, I’d like to thank them for the hard work they’ve put in.”

Georgetown's season ended with two straight first-round tournament eliminations and an overall record of 19–14.

However, they achieved a number of things that they had not since the 2014–2015 season, namely a winning season, a non-losing Big East Conference record, and a post-season tournament appearance, although like the other eight Hoya teams that had made the post-season since Georgetown's 2007 Final Four appearance, they had failed to advance beyond the first or second round of the NCAA Tournament or NIT, losing in the NIT's first round.

With a young team and an all-freshman backcourt, the 2018–19 Hoyas played inconsistently, often following impressive performances against strong – even ranked – opponents with lackluster losses to lesser foes, and failed to achieve the late-season momentum necessary to make a push for an NCAA Tournament bid or a deep run in the Big East Tournament or the NIT. In reviewing the season after the first-round NIT loss to Harvard, the Casual Hoya website wrote, "For every rousing win, there was a deflating loss. For every meaningful stride by a freshman, there was a discouraging regression by a veteran.
