It was an ugly, rainy cold morning in DC today so naturally the game had to start with a similar feel. Your Georgetown Hoyas had zero field goals in the first four minutes, but thankfully the South Carolina Gamecocks could not take advantage. A favorite part in the opening minutes was how many times we heard the commentators say, with surprise in their voice, “That’s a good defensive rotation by Georgetown!” There wasn’t praise for the defense late in this one, or in overtime, as the Hoyas disgracefully dropped a very winnable game 74-71.
Back to the game, the first thing noticed was Wahab staying in as the starting center despite backup transfer Brad Ezewiro clicking better on both ends of the court in a reserve role.
