This feels like rock bottom. Again.
With Dikembe Mutombo courtside and Georgetown looking at its best chance to notch its first Big East win of the season, the Hoyas were embarrassed by a shorthanded DePaul in Chicago, 82-74. The Hoyas have lost 12 straight games dating back to December 15.
DePaul dressed 7 scholarship players, as leading scorer and rebounder Javon Freeman-Liberty (21.1 ppg) and Javan Johnson were both out. It didn’t matter, as DePaul rode a 26-0 second half run to sprint away with the win. DePaul’s David Jones also notched the program’s first-ever triple-double (22 pts, 14 rebounds, 10 assists).
