Next Out: Supreme Cook
One step forward, one step back.
Senior forward Supreme Cook will transfer for his final year of college eligibility, per an online report.A transfer from Fairfield, Cook started all 32 games last season for the Hoyas, averaging 10.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. Cook finished third on the team in scoring and his 123 offensive rebounds were the most since the 1994-95 season. The move leaves Georgetown with one returning starter and just four scholarship returnees from the 2023-24 season.
Big East-Big 12 Challenge
A pair of 9-23 teams meet next November in the final round of the Big East-Big 12 challenge series.
Georgetown will travel to West Virginia in the sixth and final meeting of the inter-conference series, with both teams having finished near the bottom of their respective conferences in 2023-24. WVU finished tied for 13th in the Big 12 last year under interim coach Josh Eilert, and return just two players for new coach Darian DeVries as its roster is currently constructed.The series is not being renewed past 2024-25 due to expansion for the Big 12, which will grow to 16 schools with the departures of Texas and Oklahoma and the additions of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. Of Georgetown six games in the series, four were essentially home and away games with West Virginia and TCU, with road games versus Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. The Hoyas are 1-4 in the series , with a December 2019 win at Oklahoma State its only victory to date.
The two teams last played in the 2020-21 season, an 80-71 West Virginia win in a closed McDonough Gymnasium. Georgetown has not played at the WVU Coliseum since Jan. 7, 2012, a game won by the Mountaineers 74-62 in its last season in Big East play.

As for other schedule news, early returns offer concern. Georgetown is not listed with any of the major pre-conference holiday tournaments, and where schools like UConn will get its share of marquee opponents (the Huskies already have games signed with Baylor, Gonzaga, Texas, and the Maui Invitational), Georgetown has not been linked with any appearances beyond the second of a two game series with Notre Dame (13-20) and a return game at Syracuse (20-12). Outside of the Syracuse game, attendance for the other 2023-24 nonconference games drew an average of just 5,508 per game to Capital One Arena.
Head coach Ed Cooley offered some hope earlier this month about the return of a series with Maryland, but there has been no further word.
"There's some great news that's going to come out in the next...week," Cooley said on April 4. "I think there will be some great news coming out shortly."
Not This Again...
The names may change but it's still business as usual at the basketball office, which has chosen not to present a current roster for the 2024-25 season.
The disclaimer was last seen in the 2022-23 off-season following the departure of Patrick Ewing as head coach. At present, the roster page lists only staff members.Two recent signees, Malik Mack and Micah Peavy, appeared on the Field of 68 podcast last evening-- find the interview at the 1:00 mark.
Micah Peavy and Malik Mack are headed to @GeorgetownHoops ??@GoodmanHoops sits down with both of them NOW to discuss their move to the Hoyas!!https://t.co/KsPa17mY7B
