WASHINGTON – With four in double figures including captain Donald Carey in his last home game at Georgetown, the Georgetown University basketball team (6-22, 0-17 BE) fell short to the No. 21/20 University of Connecticut Huskies (21-7, 12-5 BE) on Sunday afternoon. The game at Capital One Arena marked Senior Day to celebrate the Class of 2022 and its accomplishments. Carey and fellow graduate Kaiden Rice were joined by their families for a pregame ceremony in their honor.
 
ON THE RECORD
"[Donald Carey] has been a godsend for us. He's been very professional. I named him captain for a reason - his work ethic, he's a coach in the locker room and on the floor. These past two seasons, last year being a much better season for us, he's been nothing but professional." - Head Coach Patrick Ewing on Donald Carey
 
"I love the guys in that locker room. Everyday we get to practice and come out and get another opportunity to compete against BIG EAST teams or other opponents … Each day is a new opportunity for me and for our team." - Donald Carey's takeaway from the 2021-22 season
