The Hoyas dropped their second straight game – and fourth of five – falling to West Virginia 81-68. In a game reminiscent of their past few performances, the Hoyas were outplayed for most of the contest before putting together a run to try to make a game out of it. But, as has also been the trend, the Hoyas came up short.

Georgetown started the game poorly and fell behind early. Turnovers were a key factor, as the Hoyas committed 20 on the night, and West Virginia had 14 points off turnovers in the first half alone. The Hoyas went into halftime down 43-26.

Things did not get better after the break, as Georgetown fell behind by 27 points, 53-26. But the Hoyas would not give up without a fight, clawing back to make it a nine point game with just under six minutes to play. Unfortunately, turnovers would again prove costly, as the Hoyas did not get shots on their next two possessions, and the game slipped out of reach.

Greg Monroe and Chris Wright tried to take over the scoring burden with Austin Freeman not playing due to illness. They combined for 43 points, but it would not be nearly enough. Da’Sean Butler led the Mountaineers with 22 points on Senior Night.

The Hoyas look to break their losing skid on Senior Day this Saturday at Verizon Center. Georgetown will need a win to ensure a first round bye in the Big East Tournament. Georgetown tips off against Cincinnati in the season finale at 12 PM.
