Hoyas basketball is back! And so are we, with a complete Big East preview. Gideon and Jake preview the 2026-27 Big East, rank all 11 teams, debate where Georgetown fits, and pick the league's awards and final standings. Plus: takeaways from the GW exhibition and the closed-door scrimmage at St. Joe's.

YOUR Georgetown Hoyas handle business against George Washington. Lots to talk about (and like) in the 76-68 exhibition win. Vince is back! Lowe is good! Hoyas can shoot! Iso pod to break it all down.

YOUR Hoyas are back! We break down Georgetown's pleasantly surprising exhibition win against Wake Forest, discuss the team's new roster, and preview the upcoming non-conference slate.

We are back to preview YOUR 26/27 Georgetown Hoyas! We may not have an official roster, but that's not stopping us from doing a "roster" preview. Featuring 10 (ish) big questions about your Hoyas. Is this the Cooley-est team he's had? What about the bigs? Is Elmarko the second coming of Jabrill Trawick? (yes) Who is going to be the @Footahh guy? (still TBD) All that and more as we officially start our coverage of the 2026/2027 Georgetown Basketball season!

Vince Iwuchukwu is a Georgetown Hoya! Whether he suits up is a different question, and it may get answered Monday. This week: where Vince's New York case actually stands and what the September 1 injunction hearing decides; why his case is built differently from every other five-and-five fight; the Tennessee Court of Appeals staying the order that was protecting NJ Benson, and the language in that order that should worry you; the NCAA going three-for-three at the appellate level; the petition to consolidate every one of these cases into a single Tennessee court, which nobody is talking about; every Power Four conference banning returning pros while the Big East met and did nothing; and why timing — not the merits — may decide all of it. Plus honest odds on whether Georgetown has either big man this season. You will not enjoy them. Still not a lawyer. Have now read more chancery orders than any Georgetown blog should have to. Hoya Saxa.

The fifth-year eligibility fight is a full-blown legal circus. It took a wild turn Friday, and it runs straight through Georgetown's frontcourt. One non-lawyer's best attempt at explaining the chaos: why NJ Benson is in better shape than the national coverage suggests, the September 1 hearing that decides Vince Iwuchukwu's eligibility (and where he lands is anyone's guess), the two kinds of lawsuits everyone keeps mixing up, and why the NCAA is fighting all of it. Full breakdown at thefingerwag.com. Hoya Saxa.

We're back with Quick Reaction Pod talking about Coach Cooley's July press conference. Coach discusses the roster, whether it's final, keys for the '26 season and more. Also Kayvaun Mulready and Caleb Williams on their focus this offseason and goals for next year.

The Portalpalooza has become a full-blown Portalthon, and we got takes, takes and more takes! Jake Foote joins to break down all of the portal news (Elmarko! Chol! Josiah!), what's left for Georgetown and the general state of play in college basketball (which is a lot!!!). And as a little reward for those who listen/watch the whole thing, we give some final (for now) thoughts on the Malik thing!

We're back with a quick portal update as YOUR Hoyas welcome Elmarko Jackson and Chol Machot to the Hilltop. We also discuss the Juice news :( and implications of the five-in-five rule. Finally, Malik????

YOUR Georgetown Hoyas announce their first portal addition, PG Jaland Lowe. Lowe spent two seasons at Pitt before transferring last year to Kentucky, where he was slotted in to be THE guy, before a shoulder injury limited him to only 9 games. We talk about the player Georgetown is getting in Lowe, his fit on the current roster, and what this means for roster construction. Welcome Jaland! It's a great day to be a Hoya and live forever!

Portal Szn is here! And we've got you covered with a full recap of the offseason (so far), Hoyas going out, Hoyas staying, plus portal priorities and our top targets/wish list.

The Tournament is here! And while YOUR Georgetown Hoyas are not participating...again...There is plenty to talk about. Jake is back to evaluate the season that was, how each player performed, and discuss the path moving forward for your roster (with more to come). We also delve into the NCAA tourney waters and talk about what the Hoyas should learn from this year's field.

YOUR Georgetown Hoyas are on a roll in the Big East Tournament after upsets over DePaul and Villanova. We break down the Nova game and get you ready for Friday Night at the Garden and a semifinal matchup with UConn.

Can YOUR Georgetown Hoyas win a Big East Tournament game (aside from the '21 miracle run) for the first time since 2016? Are the Hoyas primed to make a push from worst to first? Plus, answering your big questions ahead of the BET.

We're back! After the St. John's loss, discuss where we are in this disappointing Georgetown season, evaluate a good effort against the Johnnies, and dive into an interesting metric from Evan Miya indicating the importance of roster talent (but perhaps not the full story), including the one big question Coach Cooley should be asking to evaluate what needs to change moving forward.
