The Georgetown University men's basketball team suffered a 51-47 loss to Seton Hall University, marking their fourth consecutive defeat in a game where the Hoyas struggled with poor shooting, rebounding, and turnovers. Despite holding a 27-20 halftime lead, Georgetown was unable to maintain their advantage as Seton Hall rallied in the second half to secure the victory.
Why it matters
The loss is another setback in what has been a disappointing season for the Hoyas, who have struggled to find consistency and live up to preseason expectations. The team's continued struggles raise questions about the direction of the program and the ability of Head Coach Ed Cooley to turn things around.
The details
Georgetown shot only 27% from the field and 17% from 3-point range, while being outrebounded 44-38 and committing 13 turnovers. The Hoyas held a 27-20 lead at halftime, but Seton Hall rallied in the second half, taking the lead with five minutes remaining and holding on for the victory. Cooley made two changes to the starting lineup, but the adjustments did little to break the Hoyas' slump.
