James Colliflower coached the team in his first season as head coach.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/coaches/bb-coach.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: Head Coaches 2014-01-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20170527235527/http://www.hoyabasketball.com/coaches/bb-coach.htm 2017-05-27 dead Georgetown was an independent and – except for two early games at Ryan Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus – played its home games at the Arcade Rink, also known as the Arcadia and as the Arcade Auditorium, in Washington, D.C.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/history/arenas.htm HoyaBasketball.com www.hoyabasketball.com It finished the season with a record of 11–6. A forward and letterman for Georgetown for three seasons while attending Georgetown University Law School, new head coach Colliflower would coach the Hoyas for three seasons, shepherding the team through disputes over it between the undergraduate campus and the Law School. He would compile an overall record of 32–17 before retiring after the 1913–14 season to concentrate on his coal delivery business and to make way for Georgetown's first full-time head coach, John O'Reilly. After O'Reilly fell ill and was unable to coach during the 1921–22 season, however, Colliflower would return for one last season as head coach – without pay – and improve his overall record to 43–20 before leaving coaching for good. Season recap Senior forward-center Frank Schlosser led the team in scoring for the fourth straight year, the first man to do so and one of only three men to do so in the first 100 years of Georgetown basketball history. He played in 15 games and scored 159 points averaging 10.1 points per game, half the team's average of 20.2 per game. He finished his collegiate career with 601 points and an average of 10.4 points per game, one of only three men to average in double figures over his career at Georgetown between the 1906–07 and 1942–43 seasons, the "Vintage Era" of Georgetown men's basketball.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/features/top100/f_schlosser.htm Georgetown Basketball History Project: Top 100 Players www.hoyabasketball.com 2014-02-23 2015-03-29 https://web.archive.org/web/20150329171205/http://www.hoyabasketball.com/features/top100/f_schlosser.htm dead Sophomore forward Ronayne "Roy" Waldron was a walk-on who had been called up to the varsity the previous season to play in seven games as a reserve, otherwise playing on the Collegians, an undergraduate team (in an era when the varsity program centered around Georgetown University Law School students) that played against local teams in the Washington, D.C., area. This season, still with the Collegians, he was called up to the varsity again and played in nine games, starting seven of them. He scored a total of 40 points for the season, averaging 4.4 points per game, but he scored a career-high 17 points in a game against Virginia. That performance made him a letterman and, after Schlosser graduated, he would become the team's leading scorer for the next two seasons and one of the top offensive producers of the early years of Georgetown basketball.

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.http://www.hoyabasketball.com/records/opponents-nc.htm The Georgetown Basketball History Project: Non-Collegiate Opponents 2014-01-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20170212123107/http://www.hoyabasketball.com/records/opponents-nc.htm# 2017-02-12 dead no no no no no |- !colspan=9 style="background:#002147; color:#8D817B;"| Regular season Mon., Dec. 11, 1911 no w no Baltimore Medical Ryan Gymnasium Washington, D.C. no 28–12 1–0 Sat., Dec. 16, 1911 no no St. John's (Md.)
