The Georgetown Tigers ended a grueling six games in nine days with a big loss on the road to the University of Dayton 101-58 Monday. The game was the second of two exhibition matchups against two NCAA Division I teams after losing a nail-bitter 94-92 to Louisville on Wednesday.
The Tigers started out strong and led for half of the first half before the Flyers took a lead at 24-23 and went on to take a two point lead into the locker room at halftime. The second half got ugly quick, as Dayton came out flying behind the shooting of Brian Roberts, who scored 25 points, including four of six from the three-point line and a perfect seven of seven from the charity stripe. Georgetown was led by Brian Silverhorn with 24 points and Justin Taylor added 15.
“All this is going to do is make us better,” said Head Coach Happy Osborne. “Even though that was as ugly of a second half as you have seen, it’s a good experience for us and it’s good to get kicked. Even though we’re embarrassed tonight, it’s been a fun nine days.”
