Georgetown Loses to DePaul (Ouch), 74-73
Georgetown played abysmally for much of Wednesday night and still almost pulled out the win, ultimately falling 74-73 to visiting DePaul. The Hoyas fell behind by double digits in each half, playing porous defense and shooting ice-cold from beyond the arc. A small-ball lineup adjustment and some hot outside shooting, led by Marcus Derrickson’s 23 points and Jamorko Pickett’s career-high 19, erased the Blue Demons’ lead. But it wasn’t enough, as a late, contested Eli Cain jumper secured victory for DePaul. The loss drops Georgetown to 13-7 and 3-6 in league play and leaves the Hoyas with uncertain prospects of securing more wins as the schedule gets more difficult.
