The Georgetown Hoyas dropped their fifth conference game of the season, losing to Seton Hall 75-55 in one of the team’s worst performances of the season. The Hoyas were cold from the field and the usually stalwart defense was not its usual self. On the flip side, the Pirates scored seemingly at will, shooting 61% from the floor on the night. Jordan Theodore had a career-high 29 points to lead all scorers, while Greg Whittington scored nine points for Georgetown in the loss. No Georgetown player was in double figures, a testament to the team’s poor showing.

Georgetown scored the first basket of the game, but that might have been the high point for the Hoyas. The Pirates led for most of game, using a combination of outside shooting and inside scoring to take a 35-28 into the break.

Things only got worse for the Hoyas in the second half, as the Pirates continued their hot shooting, stretching the lead to as many as 22 points. Not only was Georgetown’s defense unable to stop Seton Hall, the Hoyas’ offense struggled mightily as well. After starting the game 4-5 from beyond the arc, the Hoyas went just 1-10 the rest of the way. Everything went wrong for the Hoyas, and as a result Georgetown suffered its most lopsided defeat of the season.

The Hoyas now have a pair of critical home games which will greatly impact their seed entering the Big East Tournament. Georgetown plays host to the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday at 2 PM, followed two days later with a game against Notre Dame on Big Monday. Both of the games will be televised in some form, with the Villanova game on CBS for those in the Big East market, while the showdown with the Fighting Irish can be seen on ESPN at 7 PM.
