Two days after upsetting No. 9 Kentucky, DePaul faced a Georgetown team playing their first game of the season. DePaul came away with a 72-54 victory, but it wasn t quite an easy win.
The Blue Demons were basically in control the entire game. DePaul led for 37:21 of the game,while Georgetown only held a lead for 1:28. Georgetown s biggest lead was 2 points, midway through the second quarter.
DePaul led 21-18 after the first quarter and stretched it to 39-31 at halftime. Georgetown started hot in the third quarter, scoring the first five points, but DePaul bounced back with a 10 point run and led 57-40 at the end of the third. A 15-14 DePaul fourth quarter secured the DePaul win.
