Technical fouls, a player ejected. Just your typical Syracuse-Georgetown game.
The Georgetown Hoyas downed the Orange 89-79 on Saturday here at the Capital One Arena on Saturday in a game that lacked the drama of the old Big East series but certainly contained some of the old bad feelings.
Syracuse’s Jalen Carey, who is out with a thumb injury, was ejected from the game in the second half after appearing to trip Georgetown guard Terrell Allen.
In addition to Carey’s ejection, the Syracuse bench was also whistled for a technical foul in the first half. In the game’s final minutes, Georgetown’s Mac McClung was called for a technical.
The hostilities made for some entertainment, but for all intents and purposes, the game was decided in the minutes prior to halftime.
