WASHINGTON -- R.J. Cole scored 18 points and No. 21 UConn excelled from behind the arc while sending Georgetown to its school-record 18th straight loss, 86-77 on Sunday.
With the loss, the Hoyas clinched their first last-place finish in the Big East since the league began in the 1979-80 season and are now closing in on both a school record for losses and the record for conference losses in a season.
Indeed, last year's improbable four-day run to the Hoyas' record eighth conference tournament title seems so long ago, as questions continue to be raised about the future of coach Patrick Ewing.
