Your Georgetown Hoyas (7-1) hounded the UMBC Retrievers (5-5) in the second half and cruised to a 86-62 victory on Monday night. Coming off only two days of rest, Georgetown’s three-point shooting (3-20) may have shown signs of wear, but a surprisingly stalwart defense held UMBC to 11-33 FGs (1-11 3PT) in the second half and caused 21 turnovers overall. With the three ball not going down, Thomas Sorber did yeoman’s work down low with 23 points (6-7 FGs, 11-12 FTs) and 8 rebounds.

The first half did not start out great for Georgetown, with the Retrievers shooting well from three early on.
