RE-RESCHEDULED: Hoyas to Host St. John’s at McDonough on Thursday, Feb 3

The Johnnies are coming to McDonough on a Thirsty Thursday!

Five days into 2022 and we have yet another update for Patrick Ewing and the Georgetown Hoyas as three of the four games that were previously canceled will be rescheduled—the most recent rescheduled conference game having a new date and time. Now, St. John’s will visit the world-famous McDonough Arena on Thursday, February 3rd at 6PM.

Yesterday, the game was rescheduled for Monday, February 21st, 2022 at 7 p.m. Obviously, that has changed—and that date is now open for another rescheduled game.

We also learned that the game up in Providence will be January 20 at 5PM while the meeting with Creighton out at Omaha will be on February 14 at 9PM. The Xavier home game is the remaining one to reschedule.

Georgetown’s schedule, with at least 19 games (fingers crossed), currently looks like this:

  • January 7, 2022 (Friday) 6:30 p.m. Home Marquette Capital One Arena
  • January 13, 2022 (Thursday) 7 p.m. Home Butler Capital One Arena
  • January 16, 2022 (Sunday) Noon or 4:30 p.m. Away St. John’s New York, N.Y.
  • January 20, 2022 (Thursday) 5 p.m. Away Providence College Providence, RI
  • January 22, 2022 (Saturday) Noon Home Villanova Capital One Arena
  • January 25, 2022 (Tuesday) 8:30 p.m. Away Connecticut Storrs, Conn.
  • January 29, 2022 (Saturday) Noon Away Butler Indianapolis, Ind.
  • February 1, 2022 (Tuesday) 8:30 p.m. Home Seton Hall Capital One Arena
  • February 3, 2022 (Thursday) 6 p.m. Home St. John’s McDonough
  • February 6, 2022 (Sunday) Noon Home Providence Capital One Arena
  • February 9, 2022 (Wednesday) 9 p.m. Away DePaul Chicago, Ill.
  • February 12, 2022 (Saturday) Noon Home Creighton Capital One Arena
  • February 14, 2022 (Monday) 9 p.m. Away Creighton University Omaha, Neb.
  • February 16, 2022 (Wednesday) 8 p.m. Away Marquette Milwaukee, Wis.
  • February 19, 2022 (Saturday) 5 p.m. Away Villanova Villanova, Pa.
  • 5-day opening
  • February 24, 2022 (Thursday) 8 p.m. Home DePaul Capital One Arena
  • February 27, 2022 (Sunday) Noon Home Connecticut Capital One Arena
  • March 2, 2022 (Wednesday) 7 p.m. Away Seton Hall Newark, N.J.
  • March 5, 2022 (Saturday) TBD Away Xavier Cincinnati, Ohio

The BIG EAST Conference has been trying to reschedule games in chronological order for each team, so there is still plenty of optimism that the home game against Xavier will be rescheduled, as well.

The question will be, when will they be rescheduled and how might the inevitable short rest affect Georgetown and their BIG EAST foes down the stretch. Even with the rescheduling, Georgetown is expected to have 10+ games in February.

We’ve already discussed that a potential disadvantage of the rescheduling is that Georgetown will now face Creighton in back-to-back home and away games on Saturday, February 12th (D.C.) and Monday, 14th (Omaha).

Now, the biggest gap of days (5) between games comes February 19-24 between visiting Villanova and hosting DePaul—where the St. John’s game was rescheduled to the first go-round.

There is a 4 day stretch between visiting UConn on January 25 and visiting Butler on January 29, but squeezing a (home) game there seems unlikely.
