NEW YORK — When Georgetown lost to Xavier on Feb. 21, Hoyas coach Patrick Ewing said his team had come a long way, but added, “I’ll reflect back on the year when everything’s all over.”
The Hoyas finished the regular season on a four-game slide, then fell to St. John’s in the first round of the Big East Tournament, 88-77, Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. The loss effectively ended Georgetown’s season, unless it receives a surprise invitation to the National Invitational Tournament or appears in a third-tier postseason event.
Asked if this season was a good “starting point” for the program, Ewing was still not ready to say.
