“Energy and effort” might as well be the new “Hoya Saxa,” Georgetown’s official cheer.
The two E-words are Patrick Ewing’s favorite refrain when discussing what the Hoyas were lacking in a loss, like last week’s blowout at the hands of DePaul. The coach is clearly preoccupied with those intangibles as the Hoyas head into Thursday’s Big East Tournament quarterfinal game against Seton Hall.
“If we don’t come with the energy and effort both mentally and physically that we need, then Thursday will be our last game in the tournament,” Ewing said.
