For the second straight game, Georgetown couldn’t sustain a halftime lead at home, this time falling to Providence, 74-69. The Hoyas shot just 28 percent from the field after the break, a disappointing regression after a hot first half. For their part, their Friars found their groove after the break, hitting perimeter shooters in transition that their hosts unfortunately left open. After falling behind by double digits, Georgetown battled back within a single point with a minute to play, but couldn’t complete the comeback.
Jessie Govan led the way, racking up 20 points and 12 rebounds, and notching his 1,000th career point in the process.
