Hoyas report

Last night at MCI Center

KEY NUMBER

24 Assists for Georgetown on 32 baskets. In large part thanks to the unchecked success of Georgetown’s backdoor cuts, the Hoyas finished with more assists than they had recorded since a 28-assist effort in a 116-111 four-overtime loss to Notre Dame in 2002.

QUOTABLE

“Obviously Shelden needs to get more than two buckets. It wasn’t because we weren’t feeding him. You need to stay hungry. We’ve been in the penthouse all season, having room service. Somebody jammed up the elevator today.”

— Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski on the abysmal offensive performance of his All-American center Shelden Williams, who finished with four points on eight shots in 34 minutes
