Short-handed Hoyas ride strong bench play, total team effort to convincing win over Badgers.
We're finally on the board! After a pair of season-opening losses, Georgetown lead Wisconsin from wire to wire Friday evening en route to a 71-61 victory. The Hoyas' first win of the season was steady if not necessarily overpowering. On defense, Georgetown smothered Wisconsin defensively by denying the Badgers on the bounce and from three. LJ Peak was particularly impressive, bottling up Badger star guard Bronson Koenig. On offense, Georgetown used active cutting and quick ball reversals to free up outside shooters and attacked the paint to earn trips to the free-throw line.
