Quick comments:

• Georgetown's 1st half efficiency was dragged down a bit by their being shutout on the offensive glass (0 out of 11 attempts). This was the 3rd time this year that the Hoyas were not able to gather a single offensive rebound in a half (1st half vs. American, 2nd half vs. Villanova). The Bearcats came into the game as the best defensive rebounding team in Big East conference play.
  

• For the 2nd game in a row, the Hoyas did a good job today taking care of the basketball, keeping their TO Rate below 20%. The defense forced the 2nd highest TO Rate in conference play (best was vs. St. John's).

• That 2nd-half FTA Rate is the highest so far this season for Georgetown.

• Cincinnati failed to block a shot today - the limited play of Biggie McClain hurts them here, as he is their main (only) shot blocking threat. While the Hoyas outside shooting slipped in the 2nd half, they scored virtually at will on 2FGs, likely due to recognizing that the Bearcats offered little threat inside defensively.

• On the other end of the court, Roy Hibbert's 5 blocked shots helped hold Cinci's 2FG shooting under 40% for the game, just the 2nd time that they've done this in their last 7 games.
