After the Hoyas’ victory over USF, Coach Thompson addressed the media alongside Henry Sims, Jason Clark, and Markel Starks. I’ve been to a lot of press conferences, and this one was particularly uninteresting, but here’s the audio for you anyway:

Georgetown played the first half Saturday against South Florida as it had several recent games: the defense was stingy, but the offense scarcely produced more points than the defense yielded. Coming out of intermission, though, the Hoyas hit their offensive stride while keeping the clamps on defensively, pushing the lead to twenty points and then beyond, all of which proved too much for the cold-shooting, error-prone Bulls to overcome. Henry Sims topped five-double digit Hoyas with 13 points, while also leading the team with 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

Teams

Georgetown:
Georgetown had five players reach double figures and 11 players earn minutes in a convincing 75-45 win over South Florida. The Hoyas continue to impress with their defensive effort, and for the second straight game, they held their opponents without a field goal for over 10 minutes. The Bulls shot just 31.4% from the field and committed 17 turnovers.

Georgetown’s offense was not as sharp as its defense early on, as the team was under 35% from the floor in the first half. However, the Hoyas turned things around after the break, missing just eight shots and connecting on over 65% of their second half field goals. With the Hoyas scoring with ease and the defense forcing the Bulls to work hard every possession, Georgetown steadily increased the lead, and South Florida was never truly in the game.
