VERIZON CENTER — Four thoughts following Georgetown's 85-72 over Howard Sunday afternoon, a victory that came after concluding the Maui Invitational with two lopsided losses.
* Winning trumps losing, but not all W's are created equal. The Hoyas (3-4) led 16-0 just over four minutes into the game. Impressive start? Oh, yeah, but things were rather meh from there. The lead grew to 19 at 37-18 with under eight minutes left in the first half. That's a fact. Howard (0-5) played with more energy and aggression after that strong start by Georgetown. Maybe that's not a fact, but that's a fair statement.
