1909–10 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team

[1] Georgetown was an independent and for the last time played its home games at the Odd Fellows Hall at 8th and D Streets NW in downtown Washington, D.C.[2] The team finished the season with a record of 5–7.

Georgetown University Law School student and forward Fred Rice completed his third and final season with the Hoyas.

Injuries limited him to seven games, in which he scored 13 field goals and seven free throws for a total of 33 points and a 4.7-point-per-game average.

[1] Sources[7][8][9][10] It was common practice at this time for colleges and universities to include non-collegiate opponents in their schedules, with the games recognized as part of their official record for the season, and the games against Baltimore Medical College and the Washington YMCA all counted as part of Georgetown's won-loss record for 1909–10.

It was not until 1952, after the completion of the 1951–52 season, that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ruled that colleges and universities could no longer count games played against non-collegiate opponents in their annual won-loss records.
