The Georgetown Hoyas are struggling early in Morgantown, as they trail West Virginia, 29-27, at halftime. The normally sure-handed Hoyas have already committed 10 turnovers, which has allowed West Virginia to maintain the lead throughout the first half. In many ways, Georgetown is lucky to only be down two points.
Kevin Jones has starred for the Mountaineers, scoring 15 of their 29 point in the first half. He's carried West Virginia, and few of his teammates have followed. Hollis Thompson has 13 for the Hoyas, and without him, Georgetown would surely be in big trouble. Henry Sims has just four points in the game, and top senior Jason Clark scored just two points in the first half.
Georgetown will need to take better care of the ball if it is to win this game.
