Ed Cooley is in his third season at Georgetown and the Hoyas would love to return to March Madness

Georgetown (18-16, 8-12 Big East)

There was a lot of work to do when Ed Cooley moved from Providence to Georgetown, replacing Patrick Ewing as the head coach, and while more progress is needed to get to where the school used to be, there are signs of change. Cooley enters his third season on the Hilltop looking to take another step forward after doubling the Hoyas' win total from Year 1 to Year 2 and leading their first winning season since 2018-19. Next up would be a trip to March Madness, something Georgetown last did by surprisingly winning the Big East tournament in 2020-21. In his previous job, at Providence, Cooley took the Friars to the NCAA Tournament in his third season.
