Senior parents’ weekend at Georgetown hosted the 1st of back-to-back meetings between the Hoyas and the Creighton Bluejays. With questions swirling about Ewing’s future as the Hoyas head “chef,” this game did not serve to alleviate anyone’s concerns as the Hoyas stuck to their script: competitive in the first half, before getting blown out in the second.
Maybe it was the pressure of Parents’ weekend or Ewing actually looking for a refreshing change, but Ryan Mutombo got the first start of his career this afternoon. Unfortunately for the freshman, the Bluejays took advantage with an early possession that held 5 straight 3-PT attempts, 3 offensive rebounds, and was concluded with a 3-PT field goal from Ryan Hawkins and a quick timeout from Coach Ewing with the game only 2 minutes old.
