Georgetown:
The Hoyas suffered their first conference loss of the season for two big reasons: they did not rebound, and they did not shoot the ball well. The Hoyas were outrebounded 48-23, a whopping 2-to-1 margin, and, excluding Summers, the team was 2-15 from beyond the arc. That makes it very difficult to win games, especially against a team as tough and focused as Pittsburgh.

The loss to Pittsburgh was a lot of things to Hoya fans – disappointing, frustrating, embarrassing, you name it. But apart from the poor execution on offense and the failure to secure defensive rebounds, there was something even more upsetting at Verizon Center on Saturday afternoon – the behavior of a lot of the fans in the GU student section. Fans are supposed to give the opponents a hard time – that can be a big factor in a home-court advantage. Booing, screaming, ridiculing, and distracting are all part of what good fans can try to do to disrupt the other team. But there were a bunch of students near the tunnel leading to the Pitt locker room that were waving the middle finger and cursing at Jamie Dixon and the Panther players. That is not acceptable.
