2022-23 GEORGETOWN HOYAS

• Georgetown is 10th for the second-straight year with 21 points in the preseason coaches' poll.
• The Hoyas will field a very new team as they bring in a class of nine, including seven from the transfer portal and a pair of freshmen while also returning five players from last year's roster.
• Wahab, part of the transfer class, gives the Hoyas a familiar face as the senior played the first two seasons of his career on the Hilltop before spending a season at the University of Maryland. Murray, a transfer from LSU, was one of the most sought after transfers in the portal following a freshman season that saw him named to the 2022 SEC All-Freshman Team.
• The class was ranked as high as No. 2 on 247sports.com's Transfer Portal Class Rankings.
• Georgetown will be broadcast nationally on FOX for its January 16 matchup at Villanova on Martin Luther King Jr. Day as well as the final home contest of 2022 on February 26 against Providence at Capital One Arena. In non-league action, the Blue & Gray will face Syracuse at the JMA Wireless Dome on December 10, with the game broadcast on ABC. GU will also be featured in 16 games on FS1 and four apiece on CBS Sports Network (CBSSN) and FS2.
• Georgetown opens the season on Tuesday, November 8 when it welcomes the Coppin State University Eagles to Capital One Arena. As an appreciation to its fanbase, fans can register for up to four free tickets for the season opener using this form.
