WHITE OUT: Hoyas Hustled by Penn State
Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty ImagesThe Georgetown Hoyas lost to the Penn State Nittany Lions in their 2019 Gavitt Games match-up at Capital One Arena by a score of 81-66. It was hardly the statement fans were hoping for when facing another projected tournament-bubble-level team.
The Hoyas never led in this one but did feel close when they brought the lead down to 5 right after the half. Hoyas had a slow start in the first and allowed an early run off some early open threes. Ewing utilized the press well to generate 20 Penn State turnovers but Georgetown couldn’t capitalize and ultimately still gave up 42 points in the first half and 39 in the second.
