WASHINGTON – Georgetown University men's basketball's KJ Lewis was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll, as announced by the league office in New York on Monday. The award comes after the Hoyas went 1-1 in a pair of road games last week. Georgetown slipped 66-51 at Villanova on Wednesday before turning in a come-from-behind 81-78 victory at Providence, erasing a 21-point deficit on Saturday. The honors mark the Blue & Gray's sixth recognition from the league and Lewis' fifth nod to the honor roll this season.
