Georgetown turned in its best mainland performance of the young season Saturday, out scoring a talented LaSalle bunch 93-78 thanks to hot shooting and a tightly called game that saw the teams combine to make more free throws than field goals. LJ Peak topped four Hoyas in double figures with 24 points, leading the Hoya parade to the free-throw line by making 12 free throws. The win, Georgetown’s fourth straight, showed lots of positive signs heading into next weekend’s showdown against Syracuse, but some areas for improvement as well.
This game was pretty from the perspective of the victors, but pretty ugly for basketball aesthete.
