Frankly, ‘Credentialgate’ was more exciting than this game
Your Georgetown Hoyas (8-16, 1-12) lost to the Villanova Wildcats (14-11, 7-7) at home on Friday night, 70-54. The Hoyas wore the white jerseys for the rather-impressive-looking crowd’s “gray out.”
FINAL: Villanova 70, Georgetown 54.
TJ Bamba scored 14 points for the Wildcats (14-11, 7-7 Big East), who have won six in a row against Georgetown.
Rowan Brumbaugh had 14 for the Hoyas (8-17, 1-13), who have dropped 10 in a row. Six games plus the Big East tournament remain.

Neither team shot well to start. The score was 28-19 at halftime. To begin the second period, Georgetown finally hit some threes to make things almost interesting but never pulled closer than within 4 points (45-41, 11:58 left) before a three-minute 9-2 run to seize firm control.

With only six games left—St. John’s (Home), DePaul (Away), Villanova (Away), Xavier (Home), Providence (Home), and St. John’s (Away)—attention turns to making sure they get a win at DePaul and stay out of the late Wednesday night Big East Tournament game.
