McClung’s 33 Points Leads Georgetown Past RV/25 Oklahoma State 81-74

STILLWATER, Okla. – Mac McClung scored a season-high 33 points as the Georgetown University men's basketball team came away with a 81-74 road victory over RV/25 Oklahoma State on Wednesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The game was part of the inaugural BIG EAST-Big 12 Battle. With the victory the Hoyas improve to 5-3.
 
ON THE RECORD
" I thought my guys showed that they have a lot of character and talent. Mac stepped up and played, to me, one of his best games as a Hoya. Not only him, but also Terrell Allen. We were going against a very well-coached team and were able to come away with a huge win on the road. Especially after they went up five points in the second half, we showed a lot of character to come back from that."
- Head Coach Patrick Ewing
