I've e-mailed for help, but probably won't hear back until tomorrow at earliest, so I'll improvise as I go here. Needless to say, all numbers are subject to change if GUHoyas.com corrects their error.
As for the game, Georgetown jumped out to a 23-4 lead with 10:31 left in the 1st half, and the game was effectively over. Much like the Savannah St. game, the second half (and the latter stages of the first) was used more as a scrimmage than a competitive game.
Let's run the numbers:

The pace of the 1st half was typical of this year's run-and-gun (kidding) Hoyas, while the 2nd half was played at a pace more familiar to earlier JTIII teams. In fact, the 2nd half was the slowest half so far this season.
On offense in the first half, Georgetown had average rebounding and turnover rates, but showed what happens when this team gets hot from 3FG - A. Freeman made all three of his attempts as he (hopefully) broke out of his season-long shooting slump from deep, and the Hoyas shot 8/14 3FGA total for the half.
Meanwhile, G'town held a team under 20 points in the 1st half for the third time this season, thanks to a ton of forced turnovers (note the high steal rate all game) and poor 2FG shooting by the Panthers - FIU shot 2/13 on 2-pt jumpers in the half.
The second half featured much more time for Georgetown's bench players, and, while the Hoyas were able to extend the lead, the game wasn't quite so lopsided. G'town struggled from in close (2/10 2FGA), but controlled the glass at both ends.

J. Sapp wasn't in the starting line-up tonight!! I don't know if we're getting the true story as to why, but JTIII did comment about it after the game:
We put Omar in charge of the second team and everyday, particularly this week, the huge disparity that had been there is getting smaller, which is better. He has managed that team, so it was more about Omar than it was Jessie. Jessie knows what to do more than anybody, he knows what his coach wants more than anyone, so he knows what we want to do.Looking at the numbers, Sapp played well in his limited time (31 possessions), so he didn't seem to let it affect his game. I'd be shocked if Sapp is not back in the starting lineup against UConn on Monday.
Edited:
Final numbers mean a change for Player of the Game. Our new POTG is . . . Greg Monroe. How did Greg do it? He had a better offensive 2nd half (1/1 2FG, 4/4 FT, 2 OReb) after struggling a bit in the 1st (0/1 3FG, 4/6 FT, 1 OReb, 2 TO), but his defense was ridiculous all game, with 5(!) steals, 1 block and 3 defensive rebounds. So, while he played 38 defensive possessions for the game, he is credited with only 2.7 points allowed, which enabled him to nose out C. Wright (see next).
The Player of the Game had been Chris Wright (sorry Chris!), who was efficient in modestly high usage (% Poss = 24.0, 2/3 2FG, 2/2 3FG, 4/4 FT, 7 A, 1 OR), with only 1 demerit for committing 4 TOs on the night. What I found interesting is that Wright accrued almost all of those stats in the 1st half, and had only 2 FTs and 3 assists (no TOs) in 12 minutes played in the Vesper half, indicating that he chose to let his teammates use up possessions once the game was in hand. I think that speaks very highly of Mr. Wright.
Everyone else had a positive game except J. Vaughn, who was penalized for making only 1/4 FTs. While this may have sparked V. Macklin flashbacks, I doubt his FT shooting will be as serious a problem.
Also, kudos to FIU's M. Dominguez, who managed net positive points despite being on a team that was blown out by 38 points - making 6/14 3FGs will do that.
