The 1911–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1911-12 NCAA Division I college basketball season. James Colliflower coached the team in his first season as head coach. Georgetown was an independent and – except for two early games at Ryan Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus – played its home games at the Arcade Rink, also known as the Arcadia and as the Arcade Auditorium, in Washington, D.C. It finished the season with a record of 11-6.
A forward and letterman for Georgetown for three seasons while attending Georgetown University Law School, new head coach Colliflower would coach the Hoyas for three seasons, shepherding the team through disputes over it between the undergraduate campus and the Law School. He would compile an overall record of 32-17 before retiring after the 1913-14 season to concentrate on his coal delivery business and to make way for Georgetown's first full-time head coach, John O'Reilly. After O'Reilly fell ill and was unable to coach during the 1921-22 season, however, Colliflower would return for one last season as head coach – without pay – and improve his overall record to 43-20 before leaving coaching for good.
Senior forward-center Frank Schlosser led the team in scoring for the fourth straight year, the first man to do so and one of only three men to do so in the first 100 years of Georgetown basketball history. He played in 15 games and scored 159 points averaging 10.1 points per game, half the team's average of 20.2 per game. He finished his collegiate career with 601 points and an average of 10.4 points per game, one of only three men to average in double figures over his career at Georgetown between the 1906-07 and 1942-43 seasons, the "Vintage Era" of Georgetown men's basketball.
