Quick comments:

• For the 2nd consecutive game, Georgetown rode hot outside shooting in the 2nd half to put up a high efficiency number. This time, it was enough to win the game.

• In addition to the 5-8 3FG shooting in the 2nd half (can we declare Jon Wallace's shooting slump officially over?), the Hoyas improved their already gaudy OR % and committed only 4 turnovers on 28 possessions. This was the same formula that led to the strong 2nd half against Syracuse.

• The 98.3 Def. Eff. for the game is not a bad performance at all for Georgetown playing in the Dunkin Donuts Center. The expected number, heading into the game, was 98.8, as the Friars are a very good offensive team despite their woes.
