Game 778 - Georgia State at Georgetown

November 17 at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC
Fox Sports 1

Let's just move on from this weekend - fell at Duke 74-63 despite being tied at 40-40 with about 17 minutes to go and holding the No. 2 team in the nation to 34%/25%/58% shooting on Friday, followed two days later by a 91-83 loss to the Hoyas despite leading by as much as seven in the second half and still at 54-53 with just under 12 minutes to go - as quickly as possible.

It's the first three-game losing streak for GSU since February, 2017, which speaks both to the quality of the program now, and also how nauseating the first two weeks of this current season have been.

Game 287 - Georgetown at Villanova

February 7 at The Pavilion in Villanova, PA
FS1

Georgetown, in desperate need of a big win for its NCAA Tournament resume, fell short against the defending national champions, losing 75-64.

The Hoyas had nearly erased a 17-point deficit when they got within two points on a Rodney Pryor free throw at the 2:18 mark, but couldn't get any closer. The Big East's top scorer, Josh Hart hit a 3-pointer - his first field goal of the second half - with 1:20 left to make it 66-59 and later added a lay-up and a pair of free throws to polish off a 25-point night.















Pryor, the league's third-leading scorer, finished with 20 points and L.J. Peak scored 18 of his team-high 21 points in the second half.

Villanova is an incredible 58-8 in Big East regular season play since the start of the 2013-14 season.

















* Play-by-play man Tim Brando said "Pryor gets that nylon song to ring," so we can't let him get away with that.

Game 226 - Georgetown vs. Oregon

Bill's back with some more things he loves.











William?

"Mental discipline"
"Maui" (repeat from game 1)
"The way Georgetown is playing"/"Loved the first half"
"Rainbows"
"Waterfalls"
"Volcanos"
"Clay Jamison...love that guy"
"Turtles...I love turtles"
"Hummus"
"The way that Oregon comes completely into their press"
"Continental tires...I love my gator skins"
"I love this tournament"

And let's leave Bill in Maui, where I'm assuming at some point in the next few days he's going to rent a two-bedroom apartment with Rick Barnes.

Bill!

2. [after a second half foul call] "I'm embarrassed for the sport...I'm embarrassed for humanity."
