Perhaps the most mysterious Georgetown team in modern history - with nine newcomers - tipped things off on Wednesday night by holding on to beat a pesky UMBC squad picked second in the American East.
Coach Patrick Ewing got solid performances from grad transfer starter Donald Carey and freshman Kobe Clark. Carey got the Hoyas going early when he scored 11 of his 13 points in the first half while Clark pulled down 10 rebounds in 12 minutes.
Ewing really seems to like what Clark gives the Hoyas in terms of energy and intensity and it sounded like more minutes could be in the reserve’s future.
