…and it only took them 38 years. Austin Freeman led the Hoyas with 15 points and No. 5 Georgetown shot 59 percent from the field to win the game 87-55 on Sunday in Washington.

“No matter how teams want to play us, we’re going to be able to be effective — whether that’s slowing the ball down and pounding it in to [All-America center] Roy [Hibbert] or being quick in transition,” said Georgetown guard DaJuan Summers, who scored 14 points. “It’s going to give teams a tough decision on how to play us.”

The first time these two teams met was back in 1969 and that game was cut short by just under three minutes; a punch on the court led to an all-out brawl in the stands. The Hoyas eventually threw in the towel by refusing to come out of the lockerroom, forfeiting the game and the W to Jacksonville (41-26).
