Patrick Ewing: 'Big John Is Rolling Over in His Grave' After Georgetown vs. Marquette
Nothing went right for the Georgetown men's basketball team Friday evening as the Hoyas fell to Marquette 92-64.
After the game, Georgetown head coach Patrick Ewing told reporters that he was "disappointed in his team's performance" before bringing up ex-Hoyas head coach and legend John Thompson Jr.
"This is not what Georgetown basketball is about. Big John is rolling over in his grave for the performance we showed tonight," Ewing told reporters, per The Athletic.
"This is not what I'm about. This is not what my team's about."
Ewing starred as a player for Georgetown in the mid-1980s as the Thompson-led Hoyas made three national title games in four years, winning in 1984 against Houston.
