Syracuse basketball faced a significantly diminished Georgetown roster on Saturday afternoon in Washington, D.C., but the Hoyas’ lost scoring production from four players recently electing to transfer didn’t faze the home team one iota. Georgetown shot extremely well from 3-point land and absolutely decimated the Orange at the free-throw line, as the Hoyas pounded their long-time rival, 89-79.
The ‘Cuse (5-5), hoping to build upon its domination of Georgia Tech in Atlanta a week ago, got crushed by its former Big East Conference foe in Syracuse’s trademark 2-3 zone.
Georgetown (7-3) passed the ball with precision on offense, and that led the Hoyas to get an abundance of wide-open looks from beyond the arc.
