Georgetown ended up with the No. 1 regular-season schedule strength for the second year in a row in 2011 and was awarded a No. 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Hoyas have finished in the top spot three times since 1991, more than any other school in the last 21 years. Georgetown finished the season with a 21-11 record and in 8th place in the Big East Conference standings. The Hoyas lost to buzzsaw VCU in the first round, however, by a score of 74-56. Since 1991, 16 of the 21 teams holding the No. 1 regular season schedule strength rank have been in the NCAA tournament, and 17 of those 21 teams have been in post-season play. In six of the last eleven years, the team holding top schedule strength has lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In the ten years prior to that, the seven teams that made the NCAA tournament never lost in the first round of the tournament.

The Division I record shown below is for the final, regular season.
