It has nothing to do with regular season vs BET championship. the problem for GU isn't last year. Its what happened after the season ended that has been problematic: (1) inability to keep your players, (2) grossly under-performing by Georgetown standards, or any standard really other than probably DePaul this season.
When give a choice between BE regular season vs BET championship... most of us will choose Big East Tournament - it means more for the fans. We just love MSG and winning in a big time atmosphere like that. There is nothing like it in the NCAA
Keeping Ewing after this terrible seasin signals to the world that Georgetown is content with losing. That they no longer aspire to be a powerhouse program (like Villanova, UConn)

Winning the Big East regular season championship would imply that Georgetown put together a strong team over the course of half a season and was on a good, sustainable trajectory. Ewing instead got an extension over his team getting hot one week.

Heck, if Xavier secures a 6 seed, they'll face each other on Wednesday night of the BET soon after! Talk about games you simply can't lose without severe consequences.

It's a whole seed line difference you'd think. Just remarkable to see any Big East team in this situation, let alone Georgetown.
