Teams

Georgetown:
Once again, the Hoyas showed that this team is different from last year’s, bouncing back after a tough loss to Villanova to ensure there would be no losing streak. Everyone contributed, with four Hoyas in double figures, and the team committed a season-low eight turnovers to help ensure the victory.

The Hoyas opened up an eight point lead midway through the first half, but you got the sense that the Panthers were not going to back away. The score was tied nine times and there were 11 lead changes, and you would expect nothing less from a Pitt-Georgetown game. The Hoyas were able to open up the game down the stretch by playing pressure defense on one end, making key baskets on the other, and out-hustling the Panthers for rebounds and loose balls, and that made the difference.
