Many fans of the Georgetown Hoyas projected a 1-1 finish at the Jersey Mike’s Jamaica Classic this year, but losing to eventual event champion Loyola Marymount was not likely on many cards. Next, Patrick Ewing’s squad has to prepare for a Wednesday morning (11:30 AM, FS2) tip against American University, a noon game against UMBC (FS2), and a trip to Lubbock, Texas for the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle against Texas Tech next Wednesday (ESPN+).
With Georgetown losing another Jamaican Classic game to the same program four years earlier, and an abysmal second half against the La Salle Explorers, where the Hoyas almost coughed up a sure-fire victory, Ewing finds his team in familiar territory.
