During the opening 20 minutes, Georgetown was able to force 14 turnovers in 35 defensive possessions while limiting the Spartans to only 1/10 shooting from behind the arc.
Meanwhile, after shooting out the lights in the first game of the season, Georgetown returned to more pedestrian level tonight, making just a third [9/27] of their 3FG attempts and just above half [21/40] of their shots from inside the arc. The biggest driver of the regression towards the mean is the difference in 2FG jump-shooting between Saturday [8/14] and tonight [1/11].
None of that applies to Hollis Thompson, however. Hollis is now shooting 5/9 2FG, 7/9 3FG on this young season. Dare I say, en fuego.
Coach Thompson has taken advantage of the relatively light competition by getting extra court time for the first year players. After logging a combined 65 minutes against the Savannah St. Tigers, the youngsters (Porter, Whittington, Trawick, Hopkins, Bowen, Adams) played a total of 106 minutes tonight, actually getting more court time than the returning players.
And so the Hoyas can now look forward to a week of classes and practice before next Monday's tilt with the Kansas Jayhawks at the Lahaina Civic Center.
Let's run the numbers:

When you get an e-mail from a real basketball blogger asking how good Georgetown's defense (or how bad UNC Greensboro's offense) actually was in the first half, that's a sign that things were a bit one-sided. It turns out that the Spartan's 0.47 points per possession in the first half was the lowest allowed in a half by the Hoyas since allowing the Temple Owls to score only 0.44 ppp in that brutal game at Verizon two years ago.
That will have to do for tonight. Nothing here below the jump but the normal stats dump.
