Hoyas ride sophomore guard's hot shooting, disciplined defense to signature win.
Hold onto your butts. In the middle of an at best middling season, your Georgetown Hoyas carried a dispiriting loss and a season of missed opportunities into an arena that has caused them nothing but grief over the past two seasons. A few short hours later, your conquering heroes emerged from the Cintas Center with a convincing 81-72 win over #5 Cincinnati. Following number of disappointing close calls, this was the win Georgetown had been seeking all season.
After a half-season in the wilderness, Tre Campbell returned, leading all scorers with a career-high 21 points, including 17 points before the break, when a strong first half staked Georgetown's claim for an upset bid.
