The Georgetown University men's basketball team, which, like all sports teams at Georgetown University, is named the Georgetown Hoyas, is a basketball program in the NCAA Division I Big East Conference. Georgetown's first intercollegiate men's basketball team was formed in 1907. Patrick Ewing, who succeeded John Thompson III upon his firing, is the current head coach. The Hoyas historically have been well regarded not only for their team success, but also for generating players that succeed after graduation both on the court, such as Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo and Allen Iverson, and off, such as Congressman Henry Hyde and General James L. Jones.

The team won the National Championship in 1984 and has reached the NCAA Tournament Final Four on five occasions. Their most recent trip to the Final Four was in 2007. They have won the Big East Men's Basketball Tournament seven times, and has also won or shared the Big East regular season title ten times. They have been appeared in the NCAA Tournament thirty times and in the National Invitation Tournament twelve times (in 1953, 1970, 1977, 1978, 1993, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2009, and 2014), turning down an NIT invitation on a thirteenth occasion (in 2002).
