Hinkle Magic: Hoyas Open Big East Play with Win at Butler

The BIG EAST is back, ladies and gentlemen! Your Georgetown Hoyas opened conference play with a win tonight, notching an 84-76 victory over the Butler Bulldogs at Hinkle Fieldhouse. In one of the more improbable stats you will see this season, this means that the Hoyas have now improved to 5-1 all-time in Butler’s home arena. The victory was a team effort, but Greg Malinwoski’s career-high 26 points (and 6 rebounds!) were what sealed it. Jessie Govan was a steadying force, adding 17 points of his own, and Josh LeBlanc was unfazed by his Freshman of the Week honors, contributing a dozen.
