Georgetown beat Howard 85-72 today for the reasons you'd expect

The Georgetown Hoyas beat the lowly Howard Bison 85-72 in sleepy Sunday afternoon affair that lacked the passion or fight that one might expect after a humiliating end to Georgetown's performance in the Maui Invitational earlier this week. The Hoyas started red-hot, running up a 17-0 lead on the Bison thanks to an aggressive press that forced several early turnovers, which Georgetown converted into easy baskets in the opening minutes. But from there, Howard was more than Georgetown's equal. Ultimately, Georgetown played just well enough to avoid any risk of a colossal upset. With the win, the Hoyas' record improves to 3-4 on the season, which is Georgetown's worst start since John Thompson Jr.
