A road win is a road win. Patrick Ewing remains undefeated as head coach of Georgetown, which survived leaky defense and shaky ball-handling Saturday night to beat Richmond on the Spiders’ home court, 82-76. The five Hoya starters all scored in double figures and Georgetown squeezed out just enough stops down the stretch to escape the River City with the Hoyas’ first road victory of Ewing’s coaching tenure.
This one wasn’t pretty. Georgetown was befuddled by Richmond’s fluid and energetic execution of the, Princeton offense, a system that presumably would have been familiar to the returning Hoyas who practiced back-cut and read after read last season under JT3.
