Georgetown:
The Hoyas needed a road win, and they got it. Things started looking bad for the Boys in Blue when Providence took a six point lead early in the second half.

It is especially good to see Georgetown hitting from downtown, as we know what can happen when the shots don’t fall.

But there is a lot more to Doris Burke than just her impartiality.
