Leitao ejected in DePaul loss to Georgetown

Junior guard Billy Garrett Jr. led the Blue Demons with 16 points as DePaul dropped their fourth game in a row, their longest such streak of the season.

“They were good and we weren’t good enough,” head coach Dave Leitao said. “They made more plays, things that define games and seasons and good teams.”

This was the second loss for the Blue Demons against Georgeotwn this season. The Hoyas opened up the teams’ conference schedules with a 70-58 win at the Allstate Arena on Dec.
