In the first game of the season, on December 12, 1932, at Pittsburgh in Georgetowns first-ever EIC game, he scored 12 of the Hoyas 18 points. In a conference game against West Virginia on February 6, 1933, he scored a season-high 18 points, and he finished the season with an average of 9.1 points per game – a considerable achievement in a low-scoring era – and was Georgetowns leading scorer for the year, as he would be in all three seasons of his varsity career.The Georgetown Basketball History Project: The Top 100: 41.

The Hargadens would be the only father and son to play for the Hoyas until center Patrick Ewings son, forward Patrick Ewing Jr., joined the team in the 2006–07 season.

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 January 13, 1933, game played against the Brooklyn Knights of Columbus therefore counted as part of Georgetowns won-loss record for 1932–33. 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 2014-01-11 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 Sat., Dec. 10, 1932 no l yes no Pittsburgh Pitt Pavilion Pittsburgh, PA no 18–32 0-1 0-1 Fri., Dec. 16, 1932 no l yes no Duke Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 30–35 0-2 Thu., Jan. 5, 1933 no w yes yes no Canisius Elmwood Hall Buffalo, NY no 28–26 1-2 Fri., Jan. 6, 1933 no w yes yes no Colgate Huntington Gymnasium Hamilton, NY no 29–26 2-2 Sat., Jan. 7, 1933 no l yes yes no New York University University Heights Gymnasium New York, NY no 28–31 2-3 Fri., Jan. 13, 1933 no l yes yes no Brooklyn Knights of Columbus N/A New York, NY no 22–27 2-4 Fri., Jan. 20, 1933 no l yes no St. John's Central High School Gymnasium Washington, DC no 24–31 2-5 Sat., Jan. 21, 1933 no l yes no Temple Mitten Hall Philadelphia, PA no 19–31 2-6 0-2 Wed., Feb. 1, 1933 no l no Temple Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 41–44 2-7 0-3 Sat., Feb. 4, 1933 no l yes yes no Loyola Maryland Alumni Gymnasium Baltimore, MD no 31–41 2-8 Mon., Feb. 6, 1933 no w no West Virginia Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 48–25 3-8 1-3 Wed., Feb. 8, 1933 no l yes no Mount St. Mary's Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 39–40 3-9 Fri., Feb. 17, 1933 no l yes no West Virginia WVU Field House Morgantown, WV no Forfeit 3-10 1-4 Sat., Feb. 18, 1933 no l yes no Carnegie Tech Skibo Gymnasium Pittsburgh, PA no 27–32 3-11 1-5 Fri., Feb. 24, 1933 no w no Pittsburgh Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 28–27 4-11 2-5 Sat., Feb. 25, 1933 no w yes no Baltimore Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 45–15 5-11 Wed., Mar. 1, 1933 no w no Carnegie Tech Tech Gymnasium Washington, DC no 43–41 6-11 3-5 no no References Category:Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball seasons Georgetown Hoyas Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
