Georgetown then made its first overseas trip under Ewing , traveling to Jamaica to resume competition in the Jamaica Classic with two non-bracketed showcase games at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Montego Bay . Ewing , a Jamaica native who had emigrated to the United States at the age of 12 , had accepted the invitation to play in the Classic partly because he wanted to show his players his birth country , and because Jagan Moseley 's father and Jahvon Blair 's parents also had been born on the island . The first game , against unbeaten Loyola Marymount , was the first meeting of the schools since 1979 ; the Hoyas led by five points at halftime , but the Lions had a strong second half in which they built a lead of as many as 15 points before handing Georgetown its first loss of the season , 65 – 52 , behind 27 points by senior guard James Batemon . Two days later , Georgetown bounced back in the next game , in which the Hoyas fell behind former Big East Conference rival South Florida by 11 points early in the second half but pulled out a victory in overtime . The Hoyas then returned to Capital One Arena for the final game of the Jamaica Classic , building a 22-point lead against Campbell before the Fighting Camels staged a second-half comeback – largely thanks to 45 points by senior guard Chris Clemons , 27 of them after halftime – that brought Campbell to within six points of the Hoyas with 12 seconds left before James Akinjo made four straight free throws to clinch the win for Georgetown . Jesse Govan had a double double ( 20 points and 11 rebounds ) against Loyola Marymount , 27 points against South Florida , and 13 in the Campbell game . Josh LeBlanc scored 12 points against Loyola Marymount , narrowly missed a double double in the South Florida game with nine points and 10 rebounds , and scored 11 against Campbell . James Akinjo finished with 10 points against Loyola Marymount , 14 against South Florida , and 17 against Campbell . Trey Mourning led the Hoyas in the Campbell game with a double double ( 27 points and 12 rebounds , both career highs ) and three assists
