Your Georgetown Hoyas Are An Undefeated Powerhouse. Patrick Ewing won his first game as Georgetown’s new head coach, as the Hoyas stifled Jacksonville, 73-57 Sunday afternoon. Junior big men Marcus Derrickson and Jessie Govan scored 20 points apiece to lead Georgetown, dominating the Dolphins with their superior size down low and smooth shooting touch from all over the floor. The Hoyas were uneven and sloppy, but their defensive energy and offensive pace were enough to maintain a comfortable lead throughout.

The story of the day was the return of Ewing, the best player in program history. Big Pat was greeted warmly in his return to game action, as friends from throughout his life in basketball showed up to witness Ewing’s first big day.
