Game Preview: Georgetown Hoyas @ Binghamton Bearcats
The Georgetown Hoyas will host the Binghamton Bearcats on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The Hoyas look to open the season 3-0 for the first time since 2018-19, while the Bearcats aim to pull off a major upset in their first-ever meeting with Georgetown.
The Hoyas (2-0) are coming off an emotional 70-60 win over Maryland — their first against the Terrapins since 2008. Malik Mack scored 19 points, while transfer guard KJ Lewis added 15 points and seven rebounds to continue his strong start. Georgetown’s defensive pressure and half-court execution have driven its early success, and now it enters a three-game homestand against mid-major competition.
Binghamton (1-2) travels to D.C. following a 67-59 road loss to Niagara. The Bearcats rely on several new faces, led by forward Demetrius Lilley, who has averaged 15.5 points and 13.5 rebounds while posting back-to-back double-doubles. Despite being heavy underdogs, Binghamton’s energy on the boards could help them compete for stretches against a deeper Big East opponent.

Binghamton Bearcats Outlook
The Binghamton Bearcats have started the season inconsistently, but their core group of newcomers has shown flashes of promise. Lilley, a transfer from La Salle, leads the team in scoring and rebounding, providing both interior presence and second-chance opportunities. His physicality has anchored an otherwise undersized frontcourt.
Zyier Beverly (13.3 ppg) has been remarkably efficient, converting over 80 percent of his field goals. Jeremiah Quigley (10.7 ppg, 5.0 apg) has emerged as the team’s primary ball-handler and facilitator, offering stability against pressure. The Bearcats’ challenge will be avoiding long scoring droughts; they average just 65.7 points per game and struggle to generate perimeter offense.
Binghamton ranks near the bottom of the America East in three-point attempts but compensates with rebounding hustle and frequent trips to the foul line. Their defensive intensity has helped limit opponents under 70 points twice in three games, but maintaining that against a Big East lineup will test their endurance.

Georgetown Hoyas Outlook
The Georgetown Hoyas have quickly found rhythm under coach Ed Cooley. A mix of returning talent and transfer additions has balanced their attack. Malik Mack, the team’s top returning scorer, continues to lead by example, averaging 15.0 points and efficient three-point shooting through two games.
Transfer KJ Lewis from Arizona has added toughness and rebounding, leading the team with 7.0 boards per game while sharing the scoring load. His perimeter defense has helped Georgetown limit opponents to under 40 percent shooting so far this season.
Georgetown’s offense has been deliberate but effective. The Hoyas average 78.5 points per game and get to the free-throw line at a high rate, converting 25 free throws per contest. Their inside dominance — 11 blocks per game — has been a game-changer, with Caleb Williams and Drew Fielder providing rim protection and second-chance scoring.
At home, the Hoyas have been dominant both straight up and against the spread. Their energy and transition play have improved, and facing a mid-major opponent should offer another chance to refine rotations before Big East competition intensifies.
