Georgetown cruises past South Florida
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/04/2012 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Sims had 13 points, nine rebounds and five assists, as No. 14 Georgetown cruised past South Florida, 75-45, on Saturday.
Otto Porter added 12 points and Jason Clark finished with 11 for the Hoyas (18-4, 8-3 Big East), who won for the fifth time in six games and improved to 12-1 at home this season. Markel Starks and Jabril Trawick chipped in 10 apiece.
Augustus Gilchrist scored a game-high 15 points for the Bulls (13-10, 6-4). They were coming off an 81-78 win over Providence, but were held to their third-lowest point total of the season.
Saturday's game featured the top-two scoring defenses in the Big East and the action was indicative of such a matchup.
The Bulls, who entered with the conference's best scoring defense, were up 5-4 before they went over 10 minutes without a field goal. The Hoyas took advantage, scoring 14 straight behind four points from both Sims and Clark.
Gilchrist broke the drought, hitting a top-of-the-key trey to make it 18-8 with three minutes left in the half and Anthony Collins had the Bulls down eight, 23-15, at the break with a buzzer-beating layup.
The Hoyas, who held Connecticut to 44 points in a win on Wednesday, continued to ratchet up the pressure in the second half. They opened with a 6-0 burst, as Hollis Thompson, Starks and Sims all scored to stretch the advantage to double-digits.
Later, an 8-0 run, highlighted by a trey from Starks and capped by a pair of free throws by Sims, had Georgetown up 20, 39-19, with 13 1/2 minutes remaining.
South Florida didn't threaten the rest of the way and Aaron Bowen sealed the final result with an alley-oop slam at the buzzer for the Hoyas, who will take on No. 2 Syracuse on Wednesday.
