Notes

↑ Georgetown was an independent until 1932. From 1932 to 1939, Georgetown was a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference (EIC), which held no end-of-season conference tournament. From 1939 to 1979, Georgetown was again an independent, although from 1975 to 1979 it participated in one of the regional end-of-season ECAC Tournaments organized by the Eastern College Athletic Conference – a loosely organized sports federation of Eastern colleges and universities – for ECAC members which played as independents during the regular season; each of these regional tournaments provided its winner with an automatic bid to that year's NCAA Tournament in the same manner as conference tournaments of conventional conferences. From 1979 to 2013, Georgetown was a member of the original Big East Conference and participated in its annual end-of-season conference tournament. In 2013, Georgetown left the original Big East Conference and joined a new Big East Conference; it participates in the new Big East's annual end-of-season conference tournament. The new Big East inherited the history and traditions of the original Big East, and the original Big East became the American Athletic Conference in 2013.
↑ The National Invitation Tournament began play in 1938. The NCAA Tournament began play in 1939.
↑ Does not include the invitation to the 2002 National Invitation Tournament, which Craig Esherick declined.
