Hoyas use Lions as an Illini tuneup:
“Georgetown used the Big Ten’s worst team as a tuneup for the Big Ten’s — and the nation’s — best.
“Forward Brandon Bowman scored a season-high 28 points, and freshman Jeff Green added 18 points and 10 rebounds as the Hoyas held off Penn State 66-53 last night before 6,127 at MCI Center.
“The Hoyas (3-1) won their third consecutive game and snapped a four-game winning streak for Penn State (5-3). On Thursday, Georgetown will play host to top-ranked Illinois (7-0). “
