WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Georgetown men’s basketball team preserved its perfect record against Howard and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. But it wasn’t as easy as expected.
After watching a double-digit lead get whittled to two points, the 18th-ranked Hoyas needed a late surge led by freshman Otto Porter to pull out a 62-48 victory that did not leave Coach John Thompson III impressed with his team’s effort or execution.
“It would be easy to stand here and come up with a bunch of excuses as to what happened,” Thompson said. “But I don’t want to take anything away from Coach [Kevin] Nickelberry and what his team did. They outplayed us.”
When the Hoyas raced out to 17-0 lead at Verizon Center on Saturday, it appeared they were headed toward another easy win. Georgetown (8-1), after all, came into the game with a 6-0 record against the Bison, a 28.8-point average margin of victory against its crosstown rival and a 51-0 all-time mark against the MEAC.
