Georgetown set a dubious Big East record on Wednesday, losing its 25th straight regular-season conference game to break a tie with DePaul for the longest such streak in the history of the league.
The Hoyas were tied with Villanova at halftime, but were outscored by 16 in the second half en route to a 73-57 loss. Primo Spears, Georgetown's leading scorer at 16 points per game, was held to eight points on 3-of-12 shooting.
Georgetown has lost six straight games to fall to 5-11 on the season, 0-5 in the Big East.
