NEW YORK — Georgetown showed major improvement in coach Ed Cooley’s second season as Micah Peavy earned a spot on the All-Big East first team and injured center Thomas Sorber made the third team and the conference’s all-rookie team.Still there were moments of inconsistency for the seventh-seeded Hoyas (17-14), who oppose 10th-seeded DePaul in the first round of the Big East tournament Wednesday night with the winner advancing to face second-seeded Creighton on Thursday.The Hoyas improved by eight wins after going 9-23 in 2023-24, their third straight 20-loss season. Cooley was able to land Peavy in the transfer portal following three seasons at TCU and recruited Sorber.Peavy averaged 16.9 points overall and 19.2 in conference games as the Hoyas finished with eight wins in those games. He became the first Hoya to make the Big East first team since Jessie Govan in 2018-19.Before undergoing season-ending foot surgery, Sorber averaged 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds, receiving the league’s Freshman of the Week honors seven times.The Hoyas are 2-4 since Sorber’s last game and ended the season with an 83-77 loss at DePaul on Sunday that infuriated Cooley. While Peavy scored 29 points, the Hoyas allowed 56.6 percent shooting.”We know in order to win games, everyone has to step up,” Peavy said. “We haven’t had a full squad for most of the year, but we’ve still been in close games, and we’ve learned how to execute when it counts.”
