Patrick Ewing talks to GeorgetownвЂ™s Aminu Mohammed. This team is last in the Big East in field-goal percentage, last in field -goal percentage defense and last in scoring margin. Muhammed, in particular, has struggled in the Big East, averaging 12.4 points on 38.1 percent shooting. But even more has been asked of the building blocks of that class, five-star guard Aminu Mohammed and four-star center Ryan Mutombo, and the duo have not lived up to expectations. Georgetown was rebuilding with a top-20 recruiting class. This year was always going to be a step back, even had Wahab returned and King produced. That would be the sixth-best ranking in the MAAC. They are 0-10 in conference play, dropping those 10 contests by an average of 13.5 points, and 6-15 overall. They may not win double-digit games for the first time since the 1971-72 season. In EwingвЂ™s fifth season, the Hoyas are clearly the worst team in the Big East, suffering through one of the uglier winters in the programвЂ™s 115-year history. And now, less than a year after that crowning achievement at the Garden, it is fair to wonder if Georgetown should make a change. His best transfer, Tre King of Eastern Kentucky, never appeared in a game. Star big man Qudus Wahab transferred to Maryland.

Ewing couldnвЂ™t keep his best player on campus. Then the offseason came, and familiar problems resurfaced.

Another losing season became something very different, the Hoyas pulling off one stunner after another to claim the conference tournament crown for the first time in 14 years. It was 11 months ago that Patrick Ewing and Georgetown were back on top of the Big East.
