Your Georgetown Hoyas outran a potential upset against the upstart Liberty Flames Monday night, pushing the pace en route to an 88-78 win. James Akinjo led a balanced attack with a game-high 19 points, matching his career high, while senior star Jessie Govan turned in a workmanlike double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. The win completed a 3-0, if far from perfect, win for the Hoyas, clearing the decks ahead of a big trip to Syracuse this weekend.
After two unconvincing wins over Campbell and Richmond, Georgetown looked at risk against a red-hot Liberty sqaud. Through twenty minutes of plays, the Hoyas hadn’t totally shaken that concern.
