Hoyas will face Bluejays in back-to-back games in mid-February
Happy New Year, Hoyas Fans! 2022 is bringing some interesting news to Patrick Ewing and the Georgetown Hoyas as two of the four games that were previously canceled will be rescheduled. 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 BIG EAST has announced the rescheduling of two #BIGEASThoops games:

One 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).
Here’s the Georgetown schedule as it stands now. One quirk of the rescheduling is that the Hoyas will face Creighton in back to back home and away games on Saturday, February 12 and Monday, February 14. This schedule is getting crowded quickly. https://t.co/BNa8eTbVYh pic.twitter.com/x4HG2qxXTN

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 games against St. John’s and 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.
The biggest gaps of days (5) between games comes February 1-6 between home games against Seton Hall and Providence and February 19-24 between visiting Villanova and hosting DePaul. There is a 4 day stretch between visiting UConn on January 25 and visitng Butler on January 29, but squeezing a game there seems unlikely.
