Georgetown went 7-3 against Villanova during Patrick Ewing’s playing career.
But Ewing’s coaching debut against his old collegiate rival Wednesday was a night to forget — a loss nowhere near as close as the legendary 1985 national championship game that Ewing’s Hoyas lost by two.
The No. 1-ranked Wildcats shot 60 percent from the field and 17-for-33 from the 3-point arc Wednesday night while Georgetown converted a meager 4-for-15 from long range, and the top team in the nation won 88-56 in a game that was really over by halftime.
Jessie Govan led the Hoyas with 12 points and Marcus Derrickson had eight, but Georgetown made just 39.
