Groundhog Day: Georgetown Can't Defend, Loses at Butler, 87-76

Hoyas give up 52 percent shooting, 38 free throws in one-sided loss to Bulldogs.

Three nights after trailing for 36 minutes en route to losing a game they probably needed to win, your once-mighty Georgetown Hoyas trailed for 36 minutes en route to losing a game they definitely needed to win. The latter game was a 87-76 loss at Butler Tuesday night.

Georgetown's defense was crap, as it has been since the lethargic, season-opening loss against Radford. Butler's point total was the largest given up by Georgetown this season, a high bar, given that the Hoyas have let their opponents score at will for basically the entire season.
