The Georgetown Hoyas (6-21, 0-16) had a great chance Thursday night to pick up their first conference win of the season against second-to-last DePaul Blue Demons (13-14, 4-13). Yet, as is the case with all of the Hoyas’ Big East games this year, they couldn’t get the job done.
DePaul came into Thursday fresh off a four-game losing streak of their own—three of these four losses coming by one possession, including an OT loss on the road against Providence. Georgetown had suffered from a particularly difficult three-game road trip in which they never got close to that coveted first win.
