The Georgetown University men's basketball was selected to play in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), announced by officials on Sunday evening. The Hoyas will play a first round game at Baylor on Wednesday, March 18. The game will air live on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. ET.

This is the fifth-straight year the Hoyas have advanced to play in the postseason under Head Coach John Thompson III, who has previously guided the Blue and Gray to one NIT and three-straight NCAA Tournaments.

Georgetown has appeared in the NIT 10 times prior to this season. The Hoyas have an all-time record of 14-11 in the NIT. Most recently, GU appeared in the NIT during the 2004-05 season, advancing to the third round during Thompson's first season on the Hilltop.

This will be the first-ever meeting between Georgetown and Baylor. The Hoyas have played only five games all-time against teams from the Big 12 Conference, holding a 4-1 advantage in those meetings. The last meeting with a Big 12 school was a 98-90 Hoya win over Texas Tech during the 1995-96 NCAA Tournament.

The winner of the Georgetown-Baylor game will play the winner of another first round game between Duquesne and Virginia Tech. That game will be played between March 19, 20, 21 or 23.
