It was a looooong night for the Scarlet Knights’ men’s basketball team. Only Quincy Douby could be counted upon to do any scoring and even he had to do much of it at the foul line. Douby ended the game with 29 points.
He did get some help in the rebounding category from Byron Joynes who played a strong game on the boards despite facing a very tall Hoya front line.
No. 23 Georgetown took charge early, erasing RU’s opening 2-point lead and surging out to a 14 point lead at the half (34-20) and to a 16 point lead early in the second half. While they went back and forth for just a tiny bit in the second half, RU was never able to mount any real offense other than Quincy Douby. As a team, RU shot just 31% from the field.
For Georgetown, 7’ 2” sophomore center Roy Hibbert recorded 25 points.
Rutgers falls to 15-12, and is 5-9 in the Big East.
#23 Georgetown improves to 18-7, and 9-5 in the Big East.
Rutgers limps home to play at the RAC against South Florida on Sunday, February 26 at 2:00PM.
