Ewing praises Hoyas for sticking together amid week of bad news

It was a week of bad news for the Georgetown Hoyas — until they actually stepped onto a basketball court.

Georgetown was hit hard last week when starting point guard James Akinjo and forward Josh LeBlanc left the program to seek transfers, while two other current players plus LeBlanc were cited in restraining orders and multiple allegations involving burglary, harassment and sexual assault.

If the Hoyas were flustered by all that, they didn’t show it on the court. Georgetown hit the road and handed Oklahoma State and Southern Methodist their first losses of the season, improving to 6-3 this season thanks to some of Mac McClung’s best scoring performances of the year.
