SCHEDULE REPORTS: Georgetown to Face WVU for Final Big East-Big 12 Battle

Your Georgetown Hoyas may know one more opponent for their 2024-25 Global Redemption Campaign. In what appears to be the final Big East-Big 12 Battle ever, Ed Cooley and his 6+ new roster faces will reportedly be visiting Morgantown to matchup with the West Virginia Mountaineers led by new coach Darian DeVries.

Georgetown is 1-4 in this contest, beating Oklahoma State in 2019 and controversially lost to TCU last year, 84-83. The Hoyas faced a no. 11 WVU team at McDonough in 2020, losing 80-71.

Other GU schedule rumors include a potential game series with Maryland, led by Ed Cooley’s old buddy Kevin Willard.

As of right now, Georgetown’s schedule likely includes:

• Notre Dame (home; likely mid-December)
• at Syracuse (typically second week of December)
• at WVU (week after Thanksgiving)

That’s it. Expect about 7 more games to be announced, but remember the Gavitt Games between the Big 10 and the BIG EAST halted after last year.

Georgetown is not currently slated for a multi-team event. Last year’s pseudo-MTE with home back-to-back games against Mount St. Mary’s and American caused more sweat than usual, without producing any apparent fruit.

With Ivan Thomas headed to Hampton, there is potential for a reunion there, but low-ranked preseason opponents with a familiarity to your system seem to be too big a gamble these days.

Perhaps more schedule news will come when the portal closes and the coaches go back to pretending they weren’t just in bidding wars over the same guys.
