The Georgetown Hoyas (16-10, 6-7) beat the #17 Villanova Wildcats (20-7, 11-3), 85-73. This was the Hoyas’ biggest win in at least two years, that is, Ewing’s college coaching career, as it was his first win over a ranked opponent.
The recap may not illustrate how good the game felt as well as Jessie Govan articulated:

Beating the BIG EAST banner-carrier itself is a big enough storyline, but the full team of Hoyas is being recognized for putting together a complete game of energy, aggressiveness, and focus for the first time this season.
