Report: Carter Out, Gardner In

4/30/19

 

A pair of reports indicates another change in Georgetown's 2019-20 roster.

On Monday, the 247 Sports site reported that 6-8 freshman Grayson Carter would be transferring at the conclusion of the spring semester. Carter, who grew up in Dallas but played high school basketball at Denton Guyer HS, played sparingly as a freshman, with a 1.1 points per game average in 15 games.

Georgetown may have been preparing for Carter's exit, as a report from SB Nation indicated the Hoyas had signed 6-6 small forward Myron Gardner, from Detroit by way of Aurora, OH. Gardner, who is not nationally ranked by the Rivals or Scout recruiting services, was third on his team in scoring with an 18 point average for Spire Academy. and was offered a scholarship back in July.

Georgetown has not confirmed either move.

Georgetown Adds Grad Transfer

4/25/19

A report from Twitter confirms a graduate transfer for Georgetown's 2019-20 season.

The reported signee is Terrell Allen, a 6-3 guard from Hyattsville, MD who played one year at Drexel and two years at Central Florida, averaging 6.7 points in his senior season at UCF. He will be a graduate transfer with one season remaining in 2019-20.

Georgetown adds a heck of a perimeter defender, and some needed size and experience to their backcourt https://t.co/LGJqmzkGAe

Georgetown Extends Series With Syracuse

4/24/19

 

Georgetown fans didn't get the news they had hoped for when 2019 guard Cole Anthony opted for North Carolina Tuesday, but some better news followed with the extension of the Syracuse series through the 2022-23 season.

The series appeared in jeopardy when comments from Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim suggested there wasn't room to play the Hoyas when the Atlantic Coast Conference opted for a 20 game conference slate next season. Instead, the two teams will extend its series for four more seasons, with the Orangemen (20-14 in 2018-19) playing next season in Washington--a welcome development for a Georgetown home schedule that does not currently feature any high profile opponents.

Big East-Big 12 Challenge

4/3/19

 

The inaugural Big East-Big 12 challenge will find the 2019-20 Georgetown Hoyas traveling to Stillwater, OK to meet Oklahoma State, per a tweet from college basketball writer Jon Rothstein.

The Cowboys return all five starters and 11 lettermen from last season's 12-20 (5-13 Big 12) team, which finished ninth in the conference.

It's Georgetown's first visit to 13,611 seat Gallagher-Iba Arena, built in 1938 and expanded in 2000. Despite OSU's down year in 2018-19, it enjoys a remarkable home court mark in the non-conference portion of its schedules. Since 1989, the Cowboys are 219-9 (.961) versus non-conference opponents at home and and 434-49 since 1938.

The two teams met once before, in the 2016 Maui Invitational, with the Cowboys winning that game 97-70.

Dates were not announced. Here are the matchups per Rothstein:

Sources: Matchups for next season's first ever Big East-Big 12 Challenge are set.
