Georgetown picks up win against American

The Georgetown Hoyas entered the win column for the first time this season Tuesday night, defeating the American Eagles, 79-57.

Aminu Mohammed led the way for the Hoyas with 14 points and 10 rebounds, marking his first career double-double.

For much of the first half, it was a bit of a “here we go again” feeling, as Georgetown was letting American stay in the game and it felt like they could be overtaken. An 8-0 run over the final couple minutes of the half took a five point lead to a 13 point lead for the Hoyas, before American cut it to nine going into the break.
