Hoyas report

Last night at Louis Brown Athletic Center in Piscataway, N.J.:

PLAY OF THE GAME

Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing Jr. came all the way across the lane to tip in a Jon Wallace miss from 3-point range and draw a foul in the process for a three-point play. Ewing, who continues to give John Thompson III instant energy off the bench, put the Hoyas ahead 17-6 with 7:42 remaining in the first half.

QUOTABLE

“It’s OK. We’re a football school.”

BY THE NUMBERS

4-for-23 Shooting for Rutgers (17.4 percent) in the first half. Some of the Scarlet Knights’ futility was caused by Georgetown’s solid defensive effort. But Rutgers entered the game as one of the nation’s worst shooting teams and cemented that status with a poor effort.
