Georgetown is looking to extend its streak, having won three consecutive season openers. Coach Ed Cooley, who has an impressive record of 16 straight opening wins from previous coaching stints, aims to lead the Hoyas to an NCAA tournament bid this season. Despite incorporating several new players this year, the team gained valuable experience during a summer trip to Canada and secured two exhibition wins against George Washington and Kentucky.
Key Players to Watch
Excitement builds around the return of Malik Mack and Caleb Williams, both significant contributors in previous seasons. Additionally, KJ Lewis, a preseason All Big East second team selection, is set for his official debut at the Capital One Arena.
This game may serve as an essential test for the Hoyas as they prepare for a challenging season ahead, including a matchup against Maryland in the local series.
