The Georgetown Hoyas (3-7, 1-5) blew yet another lead on Wednesday night, losing to the Butler Bulldogs (3-5, 2-3), 55-63, at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
While non-basketball events of the day will overshadow this game, the annals of history may note that this game was yet another poor finish for Patrick Ewing’s Georgetown Hoyas.
Butler beat writers seem to think that the Bulldogs’ defense, complete with a healthy-ish Aaron Thompson covering Jahvon Blair, was responsible for the 2-19 shooting in the last 9+ minutes, but GU fans know better.
We all detect the symptoms of failure down the stretch: (1) turnovers and (2) poor shooting and/or shot selection.
