LINKS: Georgetown Hoyas Put Losing Streak to Test with DePaul at Home on Tuesday

Your Georgetown Hoyas (5-15, 0-9) have a chance to stop the 29-game conference losing streak and avoid a 10th consecutive BIG EAST loss this season when the DePaul Blue Demons (9-11, 3-6) come to Washington, D.C. for a 7 p.m. game on CBS Sports Network. Of the remaining 11 games, KenPom predicts no wins for #227 Georgetown but gives the Hoyas their best chances (above 40%) to win in this home matchup.

Even with a loss on Tuesday, there is some hope to get this GU losing streak off their backs. A late home game against St. John’s (Feb 22), as well as away games at Butler (Feb 19), St. John’s (Jan 29), and Seton Hall (Feb 14), seem potentially within general reach. However, two games of Creighton and Providence and home games against Marquette and UConn will be predicted as double-digit losses.

Still, beating DePaul at home in an up-and-down year for the Blue Demons seems like the best chance for Georgetown and Patrick Ewing to break this incredible losing streak.

“I thought he took the challenge, made some great shots, made some good plays – forced it a little at times but we needed to be able to score to at least be in the game.” – Ewing on Spears’ career performance

The ball movement came back … After a night in Chicago where X only managed 13 assists, they came back with 31 in this one. Freemantle, Boum and Kunk all notched 7 with four other Muskies all chipping in as well. While making the shots definitely helped the assist numbers compared to the DePaul game, the ball movement was much better all over, and the offense was back to dominating. Zach Freemantle was absolutely immense with 30 points and another double-double, and Colby Jones put up 20 on just 8 of 11 shooting. In a game where Nunge was not himself, the rest of the team papered over the crack…
