Well, that was frustrating to watch. If you want to label one thing as the decisive factor in this game, the fact that Georgetown shot only 13% from beyond the arc is an easy scapegoat. However, it was a series of familiar systemic problems with both management and execution that truly put this one out of reach.
The last time these two teams met, circumstances were different. Creighton was only in their second game without senior point guard Maurice Watson Jr. and senior forward Zach Hanson was also absent from the lineup. On the other hand, the Hoyas seemed focused and motivated after getting schooled harshly by Ed Cooley and Providence.
