After enduring an uninspired defensive performance and emerging unscathed against Campbell Saturday afternoon, Georgetown came out with more of the same Wednesday against Richmond, with the same result. The Hoyas beat the visiting Spiders, 90-82, but no one who watched the game feels good about it.
As against Campbell, Georgetown led Richmond essentially wire to wire, but wasn’t able to create meaningful separation from the undermanned Spiders. The Hoyas’ offense clicked along well enough for most of the evening, largely thanks to Jessie Govan. The senior big man had a season-high 29 points, just one off his career best.
