Afterwards, a dejected Ewing wanted to look ahead, but he and Villanova coach Jay Wright had only respectful things to say about each other’s programs.

“You make mistakes. The team that makes the fewest mistakes is the team that wins. You take your hat off to them,” Ewing said. “They’re a good ball club. They’re ranked number one for a reason.”


Wright said he didn’t believe “the score is indicative of the difference in these teams.”

“We have great respect. Patrick’s doing a great job with this program. They’re very organized. They know what they want to do and he’s gonna build this thing,” Wright said.”

There’s no reason to identify a key stretch in a basketball game decided by 32 points, the largest margin of defeat for any Georgetown team in any Big East game. But if we’re looking for aspects of a Wednesday night in Chinatown to appreciate — to enjoy good, unselfish basketball authored by smart, talented players — pick out that three-minute, one-second slice of the first half when the No. 1 team in the country appeared every bit to be worthy of its status.

Patrick Ewing has proven to be plenty expressive on the sideline in his first year as coach of the Georgetown men’s basketball team, and through about 30 torturous minutes Wednesday night he stretched and scrunched his famous face to display an array of emotions before landing, finally, on resignation.

Oh look Laura Wagner dragged the program on Deadspin again - notice that it's not Villanova wins by big margin (which would be actually newsworthy), it's Georgetown's loss was historically bad.

Wagner is like a reverse Pete Thamel - she is constantly writing these awful articles on barely-newsworthy Georgetown events. Why can't our snarky journalist alumni use their awful powers for good and bash on Syracuse or something and not for self-harm?
