West Virginia Defeats Georgetown 73-60

The West Virginia Mountaineers defeated the Georgetown Hoyas 73-60 in the final edition of the Big 12-Big East Battle, showcasing a strong second half led by energetic coaching from Darian DeVries. Despite struggling offensively, player Harris's defensive skills were noted, while West Virginia's blocking ability shone with six rejections in the game. The Mountaineers, who have previously dominated the series, continue to build momentum after recent victories, aiming for easy wins against upcoming opponents NC Central, Bethune-Cookman, and Mercyhurst. Georgetown, on the other hand, has faced challenges, particularly in maintaining consistent offensive efficiency, despite having standout players like freshman center Thomas Sorber. The Hoyas’ reliance on scoring at the rim remains a focal point, but their overall performance has been lackluster this season. As both teams move forward, West Virginia appears primed for success, while Georgetown seeks to address its offensive shortcomings.
