1951–52 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1951-52 team was the first to play its home games at McDonough Gymnasium, marking the first time the Georgetown men's basketball team played on campus since the 1926-27 team used Ryan Gymnasium as its home court. It played its first game at McDonough on December 7, 1951 – the day before a ribbon-cutting ceremony officially opened the new gymnasium – against Fordham. Although the Hoyas lost the game, the 1951-52 team went on to post an 11-1 home record during McDonoughs inaugural season – the first of 29 winning home records during the 30 seasons Georgetown played its home games there.
