After a conscious effort to test a Georgetown roster that relies heavily on freshmen and sophomores, coach John Thompson III took his team into Big East play on Wednesday with five non-conference losses for just the second time in program history.
It was a disappointing enough start to the season to make Thompson lament: “We’re in a bad place right now.”
Heading into its conference opener at DePaul, Georgetown (7-5) already has been beaten by the likes of Radford, UNC-Asheville and Monmouth at home.
“If you look at our pre-league [schedule], it probably didn’t go as we would have liked, but at the same time, I think we’re OK,” Thompson said.
