The 1992–93 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 1992–93 NCAA Division I basketball season. John Thompson, Jr., coached them in his 21st season as head coach. They played their home games at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, except for two games at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C.. They were members of the Big East Conference and finished the season with a record of 20-13, 8-10 in Big East play. They advanced to the quarterfinals of the 1993 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament before losing to Seton Hall. Not invited to the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament for the first time since the 1977-78 season, breaking a string of 14 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, they participated in the 1993 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) – their first NIT appearance since 1978 – and became the first team in Georgetown men's basketball history to advance to the NIT final, which they lost to Minnesota.
Freshman Othella Harrington joined the team this season, succeeding May 1992 graduate Alonzo Mourning at center and starting all 33 games. He had double figures in both scoring and rebounds in three of the first four games of the year and scored 20 or more points in five of the first eight. In the first Big East game of the year, he had 16 points, 13 rebounds, and five blocked shots against Pittsburgh, and in the second conference game he scored 27 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and blocked five shots at Miami. At the end of the season, he had scored in double figures in 30 games and had double figures in rebounds in 14 games. He combined with his taller teammate, fellow freshman center Duane Spencer, to average 25.5 points and 15.9 rebounds per game for the year.
