Bearcats up first for Hoyas in Big East tournament play

On Jan. 19, a late season collapse appeared to be inevitable for Georgetown men’s basketball (24-5, 14-4 Big East). The Hoyas had lost to the worst team in the Big East, South Florida (12-19, 3-15 Big East), 61-58 and had lost three of their last five games. The team’s second leading scorer and rebounder, sophomore forward Greg Whittington, was declared academically ineligible and was likely out for the rest of the year.

Basketball pounds DePaul to remain at top

On Wednesday night, No. 11 Georgetown (20-4, 10-3 Big East) proved why it sits atop the Big East in a bucket-fest victory over DePaul (11-15, 2-11 Big East). The Hoyas’ 90-66 win at the Verizon Center yielded their highest point total of the year. Freshman guard D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera racked up a career-high of 33 points. Smith-Rivera became the first Hoya to score this many points since Victor Page scored 34 in 1996. The freshman guard shot a sizzling 10-of-12 from the floor including 5-of-6 from three point range.
