Georgetown Nabs Road Win at DePaul, 90-81
CHICAGO - The junior duo of center Jessie Govan (Queens Village, N.Y./Wings Academy) and forward Marcus Derrickson (Bowie, Md./Brewster Academy [N.H.]) combined for 49 points as the Georgetown men's basketball team garnered its first BIG EAST win of the season, defeating DePaul on the road, 90-81. With the win, the Hoyas are now 11-3 on the season and own a 1-2 record in BIG EAST play. DePaul slips to 7-8 overall and 0-3 in league action.
"If we are going to be good both Marcus and Jessie have to be the horses that pull the cart," Head Coach Patrick Ewing said after the game. "Marcus has to be better. He can't force shots, when's double or triple teamed, he has to find the open man."
