1941–42 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1941–42 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1941-42 NCAA Division I college basketball season. Elmer Ripley coached it in his sixth of ten seasons as head coach; it was also the fourth season of his second of three stints at the helm. For the second straight year, the team played its home games at Riverside Stadium in Washington, D.C., the last season in which Georgetown played home games there. It played an upgraded national schedule this season and struggled, finishing with a record of 9-11, and had no postseason play.

Although the Hoyas bounced back for an overtime win at Butler in which D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera scored 18 points, Markel Starks had 15, and Aaron Bowen came off the bench to score 11, handing the Bulldogs their fourth straight loss, Georgetown and its depleted roster then went into a tailspin, losing at Xavier, at home against Seton Hall and at home in overtime against Marquette, and at Creighton. At Xavier, Markel Starks scored 19 points, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera had 18 for the second straight game, and Reggie Cameron scored in double digits for the first time in his collegiate career with a 13-point performance, and as a team the Hoyas tied their season record by connecting on 10 three-pointers, but the Hoyas blew a 17-point lead with 15 minutes to play, failing to score during the game's final six minutes. The pattern repeated itself three days later, when Seton Hall overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half and held the Hoyas scoreless over the last 9:44 of the game to beat Georgetown. It was Seton Hall's first defeat of Georgetown in a game in Washington since an overtime victory on January 29, 2003, and the first one in regulation since January 8, 2000; against the Pirates, Smith-Rivera had 14 points, Aaron Bowen came off the bench to score 13, and Mikael Hopkins contributed 11. The game with Marquette broke a string of seven straight games between the schools in which at least one of the teams had been in the Top 25, and Marquette – picked pre-season to win the Big East and, like the Hoyas, falling well short of expectations – arrived winless on the road in Big East play for the season, but the Hoyas blew a seven-point lead with three minutes to play and the Golden Eagles outscored them 15–7 in overtime. Markel Starks had a career-high 28 points and Smith-Rivera had 24, while Mikael Hopkins contributed 11 rebounds and six points against Marquette. In the loss at first-place Creighton five nights later before a school-record crowd of 18,859 at CenturyLink Center Omaha, Starks had 21 points, Smith-Rivera had 18, and Hopkins had 14, and Nate Lubick pulled down 10 rebounds, but the Hoyas shot 39 percent from the field; it was their third sub-40-percent performance in a row.
