Once again, the Hoyas could not hang onto a slim lead in the final minutes, extending their losing streak to 4 games. The empty feeling of disappointment is everything you expect from a cold February night in Newark, NJ and tonight's performance was a microcosm of everything that is frustrating to fans about this season. The team has proven that they are capable of everything except consistency. In order to come away with a win tonight, the Hoyas needed to limit turnovers, play vigilant defense and win the rebounding battle.
After struggling to contain the Pirates early, Georgetown was able to rebound more effectively in the second half and capitalize on the contributions of an extended bench to regain the lead.
