Georgetown (3-1) used a strong start to the game to build a 25-9 lead in the opening nine minutes.  The Hoyas hit four of their first five three-pointers to spark the run.  The Mount defense then kicked in, holding Georgetown scoreless for seven minutes, cutting the deficit in half over that span.  Adebayo's dunk on a feed from Ard Jr. made it 25-17 with five minutes left in the opening half.  Georgetown responded by closing the half with a 10-to-5 run for a 35-22 lead at the break.

The Hoyas opened the second half with a 10-to-3 run to build a 20-point advantage.  From there, the Hoyas were able to maintain the advantage for the victory.
