A late rally was not enough to overcome a crippling offensive drought Saturday as Georgetown lost 55-50 to #6 Villanova. The Hoyas scored just 1 point in the first 6 minutes after the break, letting a narrow Wildcat lead balloon to double digits. That deficit proved too great for Georgetown’s punchless offense, which managed to shoot just 33 percent from the field and a head-shaking 30 percent from two-point range. The inert attack spoiled what a very good effort by Georgetown's defense, which used new rotations and wrinkles to slow down one of the nation's best offense. With the defeat, Georgetown falls to 4-2 in Big East play as it enters a brutal stretch of its schedule.
