MOVING BACKWARDS: Hoyas Crushed by Villanova, 75-47
Photo by G Fiume/Getty ImagesYour Georgetown Hoyas (9-19, 2-15 BE) had another devastating BIG EAST loss, this time to the Villanova Wildcats (16-12, 9-8), 75-47. What once was a must-watch, 20,000-strong rivalry is now relegated to Tuesday evening at the 6,500-seat Finneran Pavilion. Like many recent games, this matchup was over almost as quickly as it started. Villanova put away this must-win-game early with shooting 56% from the perimeter in the first half against some atrocious Hoyas defense. While several outside observers are now seeing how deep a hole the Georgetown basketball program is in, many GU fans are very concerned that it is growing deeper.
