Daily News | Villanova romps over Georgetown in Big East tournament opener; Creighton next
. Whitmore tallied 19 points on 8 of 11 shooting, including 3-for-5 from three-point range. He also grabbed 10 rebounds for his first double-double. Three other Wildcats scored 10 points apiece: Brandon Slater, Mark Armstrong and Brendan Hausen.
Georgetown entered Wednesday with just two conference wins in its last 40 tries. The Hoyas have showed little signs that they’re turning it around. It’s fair to wonder if you were watching Ewing’s last game leading the bench Wednesday night. It certainly showed a national television audience at a conference tournament how woefully behind his Hoyas are compared to the rest of the conference. They looked disjointed on offense and were unable to contest many of Villanova’s shots. During parts of the second half it seemed like they were barely trying to get defensive rebounds.
Villanova split the season series with Creighton, each team winning its home game. But Villanova could have – and probably should have – won in Omaha before it failed to execute in the final minute. The Wildcats then rolled the Bluejays, 79-67, at home Feb. 25 in a game that was never close in the second half.
