Three days later , Georgetown visited Providence and came away with a road win , sweeping the season series with the Friars and dealing them their third straight loss . The Hoyas outrebounded the Friars 50 – 33 and outshot them both from the field overall , 44 percent to 37 percent , and from three-point range , hitting 7-of-18 shots ( 38.9 percent ) from beyond the arc to Providence 's 4-of-22 ( 18.2 percent ) . In a balanced attack by Georgetown 's starters , Josh LeBlanc led Georgetown , finishing with a double double ( 17 points and 11 rebounds ) , and Mac McClung had 13 points , six rebounds , and five assists , while Jesse Govan contributed 13 points , Jamorko Picket scored 12 , and James Akinjo had 10 points and eight assists . The win again brought Georgetown to .500 in the Big East at 5 – 5 , equaling their conference win total for the entire year in each of the previous two seasons , but two losses soon followed , a narrow one to Butler at Capital One Arena and a rout at Seton Hall that saw the Pirates take a 20-point lead early in the game in what Ewing described as Georgetown 's worst performance in his two seasons as head coach . Against Butler , McClung scored 21 points , Pickett added 18 , and Govan had 12 points and nine rebounds , while in the Seton Hall game Govan led the Hoyas with 20 points and Greg Malinowski scored 16 off the bench . In summarizing the loss at Seton Hall , the Associated Press described the Hoyas as " young and exciting , " but added , " Unless they win a bundle down the stretch , or the conference tournament , they should be an NIT team . " After a week off , Georgetown hosted Villanova at Capital One Arena . The Wildcats had lost two of the four games they had played since defeating the Hoyas early in February , but still were ranked No. 17 . Mac McClung led the team in the first half , scoring 17 points as the Hoyas as a team went 7-of-18 ( 38.9 percent ) from three-point range and built a 42 – 32 lead by halftime . In the second half , Villanova closed to 50 – 43 before Georgetown scored eight unanswered points to stretch its lead to 58-43 with 13:13 left to play . The Wildcats never got closer than nine points for the rest of the game , and the Hoyas came away with an upset 85 – 73 win . Georgetown outshot Villanova from the field 51 to 38 percent , and Georgetown 's bench , led by Kaleb Johnson 's eight points , outscored Villanova 's 22 – 9 . Jesse Govan had his Big East-leading eighth double double of the season with 21 points and 11 rebounds , McClung also scored 21 , and James Akinjo had 10 points and nine assists . The Hoyas snapped a nine-game losing streak against the Wildcats and beat them in a Villanova home game for the first time since January 2015 . It was Georgetown 's first victory over a ranked opponent since beating then-No . 11 Butler in January 2017 , and it was the first time that a team coached by Patrick Ewing had defeated a Top 25 team in eight tries . It also was the first time that Villanova had lost back-to-back conference games in 104 Big East games it had played since joining the new Big East Conference in 2013 . The win improved Georgetown 's overall record to 16 – 10 , exceeding its win total in each of the previous three seasons , and raised its conference record to 6 – 7
