The No. 11 Georgetown Hoyas got off to a quick start and didn’t look back in an 85-73 victory over the Seton Hall Pirates.
Georgetown bounced back nicely and have no hangover from their dramatic, come-from-behind win over Connecticut over the weekend.
Sophomore guard Jason Clark emerged on the scene, scoring a career-high 20 points. Chris Wright led the team with 21 points while Austin Freeman added 16.
The Hoyas built a 14-point lead at halftime and managed to extend it to 19 before Seton Hall made a run.
With a win this weekend, the Hoyas stand a great chance of jumping into the top 10 for the first time since early last season.
