The 1983–84 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 1983–84 NCAA Division I basketball season. John Thompson, Jr. coached them in his 12th season as head coach. They played their home games at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, except for one game played at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C.. The team was a member of the Big East Conference and finished the season with a record of 34-3 overall, 14-2 in Big East play. They won both the Big East regular-season championship, the 1984 Big East Tournament championship, and they defeated Houston in the 1984 NCAA Tournament final to win the first national championship in Georgetown history.
The team had a tremendous run during the regular season, losing only three games – by only two points each to DePaul and Villanova and by only four points to St. John's in a game in which St. John's junior guard Chris Mullin scored 33 points. Georgetown's junior center Patrick Ewing shot 60 percent from the field; averaged 16 points (despite only shooting the ball eight to 10 times in most games), 10 rebounds, and 3.6 blocked shots per game; led the Hoyas in scoring in 23 games, including 14 of the last 17 games; and scored 20 or more points ten times, including 20 against Pittsburgh, 23 (and 15 rebounds) against Connecticut, 23 against Providence, and 25 against Boston College.
