Hoyas Fall at Creighton in Regular Season Finale

OMAHA, Neb. – A cold shooting night plagued the Hoyas as they fell 99-59 to the No. RV/23 Creighton Bluejays on Wednesday evening at CHI Health Center Omaha. The game marked the regular season finale for the Blue & Gray as the team will have a bye in the final weekend of BIG EAST play. The Hoyas close the regular season with a record of 7-24 overall and 2-18 in BIG EAST play. The Bluejays improve to 19-11 with a 13-6 mark in league action.
 
ON THE RECORD
"It was a disappointing effort to start. As the head of the program, I have to take the responsibility - I didn't get my guys ready to perform, I need to come up with a better game plan." - Head Coach Patrick Ewing 
 
HOYA NOTES
  • For the second-consecutive game Primo Spears led the Hoyas in scoring with 21 points. He tallied a squad-best four assists.
  • Bryson Mozone added 13 points off the bench with a 5-for-9 effort from the floor.
  • Qudus Wahab was GU's leader on the glass, pulling down eight rebounds while chipping in eight points.
  • Georgetown managed 31.8% (21-66) shooting for the game while allowing Creighton to shoot 54.1% (33-61) on the Bluejays' Senior Night.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Hoyas started cold from the floor, unable to score until the home team had built up an insurmountable 19-point lead that the Blue & Gray could not overcome.
  • Once the team settled down, the Hoyas went 8-for-22 in the rest of the frame with Primo Spears leading the way in the half with four field goals for eight points.
  • In limited minutes on the floor, Bryson Mozone came up with a pair of buckets but the lack of offense from the Blue & Gray paired with a hot Creighton squad gave the Bluejays a 51-24 lead going into the locker room.
  • Despite the second half seeing improved shooting for the Blue & Gray, the first-half deficit was too much to overcome as Creighton cruised to the 99-59 victory.
 
UP NEXT
Georgetown will have a bye over the final weekend of league play and returns to action on Wednesday, March 8 for the first night of the BIG EAST Tournament, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City over four days.
