Two old Big East foes were reunited Tuesday night, as Georgetown and Connecticut met for the first time since the latter rejoined the conference from the basketball hinterlands of Aresco. The game was at times ugly and fierce, and for long stretches nip-and-tuck, but ultimately the Huskies’ second-half firepower gave the visitors the victory going away.
The first half was basically a basketball snuff film. Georgetown shot 7 of 27 from the field, managing more turnovers (9) than made shots. Qudus Wahab put in a couple at the rim, and Jamari Sibley made a hesitating, found money 3 to close out the half, but otherwise, the Hoyas couldn’t throw it in the ocean.
