The 2005–06 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team was an NCAA Division I college basketball team competing in the Big East Conference representing Georgetown University. The team raced out to an 11–4 record including an 8–2 mark in out of conference play. John Thompson III's first notable win with the team took place on January 21, 2006 in the 16th game of the season when unranked Georgetown upset No. 1 Duke University. This was Georgetown's first win over a No. 1 ranked team in 21 years. The team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Minneaspolis Region Semifinal in the "Sweet Sixteen", where it came the closest of any team to beating the eventual national champion, Florida.
The team was ranked No. 23 in final Associated Press Poll of the season and No. 16 in the postseason Coaches' Poll.
Sophomore forward Jeff Green led the team in scoring, shooting 44.5 percent from the field and averaging 11.9 points per game, was second in rebounding, with 6.5 per game, and led the team in assists, with 3.27 per game. At Vanderbilt, he scored 14 points and had season highs with nine rebounds and four blocked shots. At 11th-ranked Illinois, he got off to a slow start with only one point in the first half, but then put in a 20-point performance in the second half for a season-high 21 points. He led the team in scoring at 16th-ranked West Virginia with 17 points, also tying his season high with nine rebounds during the game. He scored 13 points and had eight rebounds at fourth-ranked Connecticut, and in an upset of top-ranked Duke he scored 18 points, tied his career high with seven assists, and had three steals. In a double-overtime win at Notre Dame, he played a career-high 46 minutes, during which he scored 12 points and had seven rebounds and six assists. He had a 20-point, seven-rebound, five-assist performance against Cincinnati and scored 15 points and had seven rebounds at DePaul. In a game with Pittsburgh at the MCI Center, he shot 9-got-14 (64.3%) from the field and tied his career high with 22 points. In a rematch with now ninth-ranked West Virginia at the MCI Center, he had his first double-double of the season, scoring 21 points and collecting 10 rebounds, and at fourth-ranked Villanova he scored 15 points, grabbed six rebounds, and had a game-high six assists. He shot a season-high 8-for-12 (66.7%) from the free-throw and led the team in scoring with 18 points in the victory over Syracuse, also collecting seven rebounds and making four assists. He ended the regular season with 10 points at South Florida.
