Georgetown:
After a pair of poor performances on the offensive end of the floor, the Hoyas decided to inflict some pain on their opponent for a change, turning up the intensity defensively to soundly defeat Connecticut, 58-44. Georgetown’s defense set the pace for the game, as the Hoyas were very active, deflecting passes on seemingly every possession, and holding the Huskies to 30% shooting on the night.

While the offense was still not firing on all cylinders, they slowly but surely took the lead and extended it to double digits in the first half, and kept the lead for the rest of the game. They also controlled the pace of the game, keeping the score low and not allowing the Huskies to turn the game into a track meet. And especially given how much Connecticut struggled to score in the half-court offense, that was a key to success.
