Georgetown Hoyas on 4-Game Win Streak
4 Feb
Summary
- Georgetown Hoyas have won three straight conference games.
- Vince Iwuchukwu's return has significantly boosted the team's performance.
- Creighton Bluejays have struggled recently, losing three of four games.
As of February 4, 2026, the Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team is experiencing a significant midseason turnaround, having secured three consecutive Big East Conference victories. This surge has brought them to a tie for sixth place in the league standings, a stark contrast to their earlier struggles that saw them at the bottom of the conference. The Hoyas have not won four straight Big East regular-season games since 2015.
Coach Ed Cooley attributes the team's improved performance largely to the return of 7-foot-1 center Vince Iwuchukwu. Iwuchukwu, who missed ten games due to a medical procedure, has provided a defensive anchor and has also contributed offensively, averaging 14.7 points during the current winning streak. His return has allowed guards KJ Lewis and Malik Mack to shine, with Lewis averaging 14.9 points and Mack 13.9 points per game.
Meanwhile, the Hoyas' upcoming opponent, the Creighton Bluejays, are facing their own challenges. Despite winning the previous matchup against Georgetown in overtime on January 13, Creighton has since struggled, losing three of their last four games. Their star player, Austin Swartz, who scored a career-high 33 points against Georgetown earlier this season, has seen a dip in his scoring in recent games. Creighton's NET ranking of 76 places them in jeopardy of missing the NCAA Tournament.
