Georgetown hasnt beaten anybody and thats OK Maybe, just maybe, Georgetown might wind up being alright anyway. Those were replaced with a whos who of teams - emphasis on Who? - like Jacksonville , Mt. St. Marys, Richmond , Maine , Coppin State, Howard and North Carolina A&T heading into Georgetowns first true test of the season against Syracuse on Saturday. SB Nation labeled the Hoyas 2017-18 nonconference slate the worst. NBC Sports ripped it as terrible and the New York Post flat-out called it a joke. However, after Georgetowns 86-79 overtime loss against the Orangemen, maybe, just maybe, it might be worth contemplating that there was some method behind making meals of mediocre mid-major competition instead of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire - especially given the Hoyas preseason predicament. Georgetown got big performances from junior Jessie Govan and sophomore guard Jagan Mosely, who showed hell be up for the challenge moving forward by pouring in 20 points to go along with five rebounds and three assists, despite coming into the game averaging a mere 5.8 points. Before you can prove something to others, you have to prove it to yourself and thats what Georgetown is doing now.
