In a rare 11:00 am tip-off, the Georgetown Hoyas defeated the USF Bulls 75-45. The early start time may have affected the players’ sharpness, as both teams shot poorly to start the game. Georgetown was only 8-23 from the field (34.8%) in the first half. However, the Hoyas looked hot compared to the awful start from the Bulls. They went through a stretch of nearly 11 minutes in the first half without a point and shot only 6-23 in the opening twenty minutes (26.1%). USF also committed 11 turnovers in the first half. Georgetown led 23-15 at halftime.
