Well that stunk. Georgetown gave up the game’s first 11 points at Marquette and trailed almost wire-to-wire in a 76-66 defeat in Milwaukee. Other than Rodney Pryor’s 23 points, there wasn’t much to like about Wednesday’s performance, which was characterized by sloppy defense, disjointed offense, and repeated mental mistakes. Coming off of a six-game winning streak to close non-conference play, the loss to the Golden Eagles was a sobering start to the Big East schedule.
Things started out poorly Wednesday night, and didn’t get much better. Georgetown went scoreless on its first nine possessions, an ugly assortment of missed long jumpers, forced drives, and poor ball-handling.
