That was almost a lot of fun. Georgetown came roaring back from its annual double-digit deficit at Villanova Tuesday night, chipping away at a 17-point Wildcat lead until the teams were separated by just a possession. But the Hoyas couldn’t take the lead, sputtering down the stretch on both ends as Villanova pulled away for a 75-64 victory. The loss drops Georgetown to just 4-8 in conference play and 13-12 overall.
The Hoyas played their two best stretches of ball at Villanova since conference realignment, which admittedly is a low bar. Georgetown has now lost five straight at Villanova, with all five defeats coming by double digits.
